Audrey Hepburn's involvement with the Dutch #resistance during WW2. Remarkable.

Her mother was a Dutch baroness, her father an English businessman. Both were pro-Nazi. The young Hepburn lived with her mother in #Holland during the German occupation. Her uncle was in the resistance and was executed. She raised funds in secret dance performances and smuggled messages. Malnutrition ruined her health and prevented her intended dance career.

I had no idea.
