Google celebrates the life of infamous movie star and fashion icon Audrey Hepburn on Sunday with a pink doodle with her image in the center of the commemorative logo.

Born on May 4 1929 in Brussels, Hepburn would have been 85 today.

Audrey Hepburn’s career flourished in the Golden Age of the movie industry in Hollywood. She starred in the classics “My Fair Lady” and “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”

But it was in her “Roman Holiday” role that bagged her Best Actress trophy during the Academy Awards.

Among her entertainment industry achievements, Hepburn also took home awards from the Golden Globe, BAFTA and an Oscar. She was also dubbed by the American Film Institute to be among the most beautiful faces in the industry and was listed in the international Best Dressed Hall of Fame.

Later in her life, she did fewer acting roles as she shifted her career in working with UNICEF to aid the then developing world.
Audrey Hepburn was diagnosed with appendiceal cancer and died in Switzerland in 1993.
