Common App: Which Famous Person Would You Like to Spend an Afternoon With?

AUDREY HEPBURN

I would be overjoyed to take a visit to the Golden Age of Hollywood and be able to spend an afternoon with my role-model, Audrey Hepburn. Over the course of her remarkable life and career, Audrey’s iconic elegance, style, and charm has captured hearts around the world, creating a public image that stands as one of the most unforgettable and beloved in recent memory. I would be delighted to meet this award-winning actress, but such feeling is unprecedented to being able to have a glimpse of the woman behind the glamorous persona as a film legend, for she was both an unparalleled fashion icon as well as a woman of deep humanitarian roots.

As a teenager, Audrey persisted in dancing and ballet to raise money for the Dutch resistance fundraisers, further illuminating the origins of her tenacious spirit and fiercely passionate nature. With her unshakable presence on the silver screen, Audrey used her hard-won recognition as a means to help children less fortunate her their own. With my newfound ability to time-travel, I want to be able to help Audrey in her contributions to the children of UNICEF and to be able to travel the world in effort of helping those that are in need. She remains as a humbling reminder to redistribute my fortunes and wisdom. In addition, it wouldn't hurt to offer her a little dance with me.

Beyond her contributions as an extraordinary artist and humanitarian, Audrey Hepburn remains the epitome of style, charm, and humility in the face of timeless beauty and grace. As a result, with my ability to travel in time, I would visit Miss Audrey Hepburn to request a narrative of true beauty from the beholder of the eye.
