1949 Audrey Bonne Hepburn Sauce Bouche Tartare
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young Audrey Hepburn, at just twenty years old, in the role of "Bonne-Bouche" in the production of "Sauce Tartare" at the Cambridge Theatre in London. The image dates back to 1949, a pivotal year in Hepburn's burgeoning acting career. At the time, Hepburn had already made her stage debut in the chorus line of "High Button Shoes" at the Hippodrome. Her exceptional talent did not go unnoticed, as she was soon handpicked by Cecil Landeau to join the cast of "Sauce Tartare." The production marked Hepburn's first speaking role in a professional production. The photograph shows Hepburn in the midst of performing the saucy and playful title role, her expressive face adorned with a mischievous smile. The saucy sauce tartare dish is prominently displayed on the table before her, adding to the whimsical and lighthearted atmosphere of the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into Hepburn's early acting days, a time when she was just beginning to make a name for herself in the world of theatre. It serves as a reminder of her humble beginnings and the determination that would eventually lead her to international stardom. The image is a testament to Hepburn's natural charisma and undeniable talent, which shone through even in her earliest roles. The 1940s setting, with its elegant costumes and vintage theatre decor, adds to the historical significance of the photograph and transports us back in time to an era of glamour and sophistication.
