The stamp of a legend

LOS ANGELES: The United States unveiled a new postage stamp picturing screen legend Audrey Hepburn as part of a series featuring Hollywood film stars. The Belgian-born star of classic movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, My Fair Lady, Roman Holiday and Funny Face becomes the ninth movie star after Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Humphrey Bogart, Alfred Hitchcock, James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Lucille Ball and Cary Grant to grace a U.S. stamp. Hepburn's postage stamp portrait was taken from a painting by Michael Deas that was based on a publicity photograph for her 1954 film Sabrina. — sify.com
