An icon I so much admire. I think everyone should watch 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' once in their lifetime.
Little known, Audrey Hepburn was born in Brussels. Her parents left Belgium when she was 4.

Ok, I'll joing the newly enlightened...I didn't know either. I did know someone who knew her though, does that count? She used to come over to Sarasota, Florida for the French Film Festival they have there every year.

Hey Andreea, in keeping with the theme, you'll have to find a way to photograph the event of Johnny Halliday moving to Brussels!
