She's one of the most recognizable movie stars of all time, but even before Audrey Hepburn had her big break, the actress proved her undeniable charm on camera.

In the spring of 1950, the Belgian-born Brit modeled for Picture Post, a prominent UK photo magazine, while she was working as a chorus girl in London's West End. Photographer Bert Hardy brought the aspiring actress to the city's famous Kew Gardens and Richmond Park for a feature called "We Take a Girl to Look for Spring," and the rarely-seen portrait series definitely showcases her star quality.

Three years later, Hepburn's leading role in Roman Holiday would catapult her to fame, and the rest is history. But this special look at her early days definitely proves why Hollywood fell in love.
