Museum: A small museum celebrating her career and her work for the UN Children's Fund was opened at Tolochenaz, Switzerland, where Audrey lived for 30 years (her house is only a few hundred meters away from the Pavilion). The village of Tolochenaz is nestled in a terraced, wine-growing region along Lake Geneva, above Morges some 10 miles west of Lausanne. It offers a superb view of the Swiss and French Alps. Made up of items belonging to the family such as photographs, the many prizes received by the actress and original film posters, the exhibition is essentially chronological and artistic. Among the exhibits in the two-room museum are Hepburn's 1954 best actress Oscar for starring opposite Gregory Peck in "Roman Holiday" and an Oscar received in 1993 for her career. In keeping with Audrey Hepburn's legendary discretion, just a few items from her private life appear. The balance of the income from the entry fee will be given to the Audrey Hepburn Foundation for Children. For more information, click here. Note: It seems the Audrey Hepburn Pavilion has now closed.

Favorite poem: According to Gregory Peck and revealed in an UNICEF documentary, Audrey's favorite poem was "Unending Love" by Rabindranath Tagore.
