Description
While on set shooting the romantic comedy Sabrina in 1954, actor William Holden and Audrey Hepburn began what would be one of the most talked about affairs in Hollywood. Both actors were married at the time but neither seemed to care much about the backlash.
Audrey was the love of my life. I fell in love. She wanted to get married. – William Holden
Hepburn was at the height of her career. In many ways, she was considered Hollywood royalty. She was a Belgian born, British-raised, Dutch baroness’s daughter. Holden was an Oscar winner and absolutely besotted by Hepburn. He was more than willing to leave his wife and children to be with her.
Hepburn was really eager about having children. She said she was willing to end her career so she can have children and take care of them.
She told him she wanted three, maybe four, and would retire from the screen to raise them.
Sadly, this romance was not to end happily. When Holden revealed to Hepburn that he had undergone a mastectomy and could no longer have children, she called off the affair.
