Audrey was appointed Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF. She was also given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by president George W. Bush. Remember how I said Hepburn was a humanitarian? A humanitarian is a person who seeks human welfare A.K.A a person who helps other people in the world and a good doer. Actually, you could be a humanitarian. Have you ever given anything to a food drive? Have you donated money for people in need? Then you are a humanitarian. Audrey went to places all over the world to help communities and kids, the first place she went was Ethiopia. She ended going to a lot of places and she helped a lot of people.

In late September 1992 Audrey started to get ill. She went to her doctors and they did an operation on her. They found out she had cancer but when the surgeon did another operation he said the cancer had spread too much for it to be removed. The cancer had spread too much because when she first started to get sick, Audrey had refused to go home so she could help the people in other Countries.

She was 63 when she died but she was and is still a huge icon in the world. She was an amazing actress, a WONDERFUL humanitarian and an awesome person.
