Beautiful photo of Audrey Hepburn from ''My Fair Lady'', measuring 11'' x 14'', and from Audrey's personal collection. Photo is by Cecil Beaton, who won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design for ''My Fair Lady'', as well as for Best Art Direction, with the stamp on verso: ''Please acknowledge photograph by Cecil Beaton''. Beaton first met Hepburn after the release of ''Roman Holiday'', and was instantly taken with her charm, commenting in his diary that ''She appears to take wholesale adoration with a pinch of salt; gratitude rather than puffed-up pride...'' Hepburn's ease, with Beaton as photographer, and her natural beauty is captured nicely in this photograph. Semi-gloss silver gelatin photo on double weight paper was taken for a US Vogue photo shoot in late 1963 prior to the release of ''My Fair Lady'', one of the most highly anticipated films in Hollywood history. With Christie's stamp on verso, photo is in very good to near fine condition, with minute handling wear and indiscernible crease at lower right corner.
