Hepburn’s many longed-for role: mother Bettmann A household at last After 2 heartbreaking miscarriages, the couple welcomed a child, Sean, on July 17, 1960. This family photo was taken two days later on. “I was so thrilled by the occasion, the wonder of giving birth, that whatever that was going on felt right,” Hepburn informed Diana Maychick, author of Audrey: an Intimate Portrait. “I remember hearing a lot of clapping– I discovered later on there was a significant storm going on while I was in the delivery room– and I just felt the world was praising my efforts. It felt much better than any efficiency I ‘d ever offered.” 3 months later on, shooting began for Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the film that would provide Hepburn her most renowned role. After filming, she settled in Switzerland, beginning to move her focus to her family, then to humanitarian work. Having impacted numerous lives, Hepburn died of cancer in 1993 at the age of 63.
