On what would have been her 85th birthday, Audrey Hepburn has received a high honor: a Google Doodle.
The image was adapted from a black and white photograph taken in 1956 by Yousuf Karsh. Though the style icon inspired several potential images from the Doodle team (which you can view here), they settled on one that reflected the Breakfast at Tiffany’s actress’ beauty, grace, and humanitarian work to improve the lives of children.

'"You're going to make me famous," I said. "Photographers can be replaced," replied Marilyn'
I first photographed Marilyn Monroe in 1960. I was 23 and not yet a very good photographer. By 1962, when Paris Match magazine asked me to shoot her again, I had won awards and was better – but I had a bigger ego, too.
She was filming what would be her last movie, Something's Got to Give. I read the screenplay in advance, and discovered that in one scene she would jump into a swimming pool and then pretend to have no clothes on. I saw Marilyn before the shoot and she was upset that she was getting $100,000 for the movie while Elizabeth Taylor was getting more from the same studio. She said something like: "What would happen if I jumped in with a bathing suit on, and actually came out with nothing on?" Her press agent said: "You're kidding.
