Roman Holiday, made in 1953, is a delightful, romantic comedy shot entirely on location in Rome, and produced and directed by one of Hollywood's most eminent directors - William Wyler.
The story was reportedly based on the real-life Italian adventures of British Princess Margaret.
It was the film that introduced Audrey Hepburn to the world and made her an instant star. The Belgian-born actress was totally unknown before Roman Holiday, having acted in only a few bit parts in European films and some minor roles on stage. Audiences everywhere fell in love with her, and she won an Academy Best Actress Award for her performance.
Roman Holiday marked the beginning of Audrey Hepburn as a genuine style icon. Her brunette hair and slim figure gave her a unique gamine look that set her apart from other actresses of her time. Her haircut and clothes in Roman Holiday greatly influenced fashion, and women everywhere began to copy her look.
