Long before she became one of Hollywood's most celebrated stars, Audrey Hepburn was learning music and dance at a small village school in the Kent countryside.
The future Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady actress spent part of her childhood in Elham, near Canterbury, where local historians say her love of performing was encouraged during three formative years before the outbreak of World War Two.
Today, a blue plaque on a cottage near the King's Arms pub marks the place where Hepburn lived between 1936 and 1939.
"It really was the starting point for the young Audrey Hepburn that she became," said Brian Badham, of Elham Historical Society.
Hepburn, then known as Audrey Ruston-Hepburn, arrived in the village after her parents separated.
