My Fair Lady

Audrey Hepburn

Hepburn hit the '60s having established herself as an Oscar-winning actress (for "Roman Holiday") and international style icon. What followed was even greater acclaim in both realms -- her modish Holly Golightly look still inspires desperate imitators, while ... moregenerations have been charmed by the fairy tale of her Eliza Doolittle. As the decade progressed, Hepburn did, too, augmenting her fabled light touch with unexpected dramatic maturity (alongside fellow '60s legend Albert Finney in "Two for the Road") and genre flair in "Wait Until Dark."

Essential performances: "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "My Fair Lady," "Charade," "Two for the Road," "Wait Until Dark"
