Audrey Hepburn first wore the pixie-cut hairstyle in which of her films?
A short hairstyle called a pixie cut is generally one where it is short on the back and sides of the head and slightly longer on the top, with very short bangs. It is a variant of a crop hairstyle. The name is derived from the mythological pixie, a type of mythical creature found in English folklore who is typically characterized as a small, human-like creature who is responsible for mischief but are not malevolent.
The pixie haircut style was popularized first in the 1950s when Audrey Hepburn wore the style in her 1953 debut film "Roman Holiday", and later in the 1960s by actress Mia Farrow (notably in Roman Polanski’s film "Rosemary's Baby"). British supermodel Twiggy and then later on the TV show "Laugh-In", the star Goldie Hawn made the hair cut popular.
The film "Roman Holiday", an American romantic comedy, was directed and produced by William Wyler. The screenplay was written by Dalton Trumbo, Ian McLellan Hunter, and John Dighton based on a story by Trumbo. It stars Hepburn as a princess out to see Rome on her own and Gregory Peck as a reporter. Hepburn won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance; the story and costume design also won.
Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) was a British actress and humanitarian. Recognized as both a film and fashion icon, she was ranked by the American Film Institute as the third-greatest female screen legend from the Golden Age of Hollywood. In 1956 she was inducted into the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame.
