Actors Who Wound Up In Normal Jobs

Many well-known celebrities often share tales of their most memorable jobs they held before making it big in Hollywood, whether they appeared destined for stardom or not. For instance, Margot Robbie used to work at Subway before becoming a box office powerhouse, and Bryan Cranston has a wealth of stories about the various odd jobs he had prior to “Malcolm in the Middle,” including serving as a security guard and officiating weddings as a minister ordained for the occasion.

It might appear to those outside the entertainment world that securing just one acting role could lead to a lifetime of opulence. However, this assumption is usually incorrect. The majority of actors find it difficult to earn a living in Hollywood compared to the small number who achieve mainstream fame. This is demonstrated by the hardships faced by union members during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, which left many out of work. In fact, more often than not, these working actors find themselves back at square one after their big breaks, resuming ordinary lives and taking up regular jobs once again.

While some actors might prefer to step away from the glamorous A-list life for something more modest, others discovered new careers outside entertainment due to their success. Here are 20 talented individuals who may still be connected to acting, but now they often pursue roles that are quite different from being famous Hollywood stars.

Michael Schoeffling

1980s rom-com enthusiasts adore the 1984 film “Sixteen Candles,” directed by John Hughes, which launched Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall into fame as part of the ‘Brat Pack’. However, one actor from this iconic cast has become less visible since the movie’s premiere: Michael Schoeffling, who played Jake, Samantha Baker’s love interest. Despite featuring in “Vision Quest” in 1985 and “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” in 1991, Schoeffling decided to step away from acting and instead pursue a far less glamorous occupation.

Following his last film role in ’91, Schoeffling departed Hollywood alongside his wife and embarked on a new venture: opening a furniture store in Pennsylvania. The business has thrived, expanding to multiple locations across the state and even into Florida. Regarding his acting career, Schoeffling hasn’t made a comeback, refraining from giving interviews or attending screenings of his films since their initial premieres.

Back in 1990, even before I hung up my acting shoes for good, I confessed to The Los Angeles Times about my deep-rooted love for woodworking. It’s an art form that sets me apart – no directors, no scripts; it’s just me and my vision, unless a client has other ideas. Though my days as a leading man might be behind me, the memories of Jake from “Sixteen Candles” continue to linger on.

Jennifer Stone

Many actors who appeared on popular Disney Channel shows didn’t achieve superstardom like Selena Gomez did. For example, Jennifer Stone was part of the cast for “Wizards of Waverly Place,” playing Harper Finkle, Alex Russo’s best friend. Unlike some others, Stone’s acting career didn’t eclipse her Disney Channel beginnings; she appeared in films like “Dadnapped” and had a short stint on “Phineas & Ferb.” Nevertheless, Stone’s journey eventually took her to significant endeavors beyond the entertainment industry.

2020 saw Stone announce on social media her completion of nursing school, making her a registered nurse just as COVID-19 was spreading across the nation. In an interview with Teen Vogue about her dedication to assisting frontline workers during this global pandemic, she expressed, “Although it’s unusual and strange, I feel grateful for the chance to contribute to the effort.

Beyond her dedication to healthcare, Stone took it a step further in 2022. She collaborated with Medtronic Diabetes, aiming to educate about innovative methods for supporting individuals living with type 1 diabetes – a condition she was diagnosed with in 2013 and inspired her pursuit of nursing studies. While she won’t be gracing our screens in the new “Wizards of Waverly Place” reboot, she’s instead choosing to make a heroic impact in reality instead.

Reed Alexander

Individuals who spent their childhood years enjoying “iCarly” on Nickelodeon likely still harbor hopes of encountering the infamous Nevel Papperman and his ominous declaration that Carly and her companions would regret their encounters with him. Yet, contrary to Nevel’s character, the actor portraying him, Reed Alexander, has a different focus for his future. Revenge is not a concern for him as he prioritizes his burgeoning career. While attending New York University, he studied digital media, and furthered his education by earning a graduate degree in journalism from Columbia University.

Following some tenures at The Wall Street Journal and CNN, Alexander secured a position as a correspondent for Insider, where he delves into not only entertainment updates but also global news, politics, and mental health matters. As Alexander shared with Lithium Magazine, although he hasn’t completely left behind his past as Nevel Papperman, investigative journalism is the role he identifies most closely with. However, it’s essential to understand that his identity is complex, and a significant aspect that led him here was his experience as an actor who played this character on a beloved series.

Since he was a child actor, Alexander hasn’t just sat still. He returned to the role of Nevel Papperman in two episodes of the “iCarly” reboot on Paramount+. In 2013, he published a cookbook emphasizing healthy eating. As of 2022, Alexander has been imparting his knowledge as a journalism instructor at the University of Miami, further expanding his impressive career portfolio.

Kay Panabaker

In the 2000s, Kay Panabaker showed great potential as an actress. She made her acting debut on the WB series “Summerland,” where she portrayed the sharp-witted Nikki, a character played by Zac Efron as her boyfriend Cameron at that time. Following her victory of a Young Artists Award in 2005 for her performance as Nikki, Panabaker’s acting career progressed with a six-episode appearance on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” the main role in the ABC drama-comedy “No Ordinary Family,” and the lead role in the 2009 remake of the 1980 musical “Fame.

Instead of choosing an acting career, Panabaker made a drastic change in direction once she enrolled at UCLA, seeking a different path in life. Interestingly, Panabaker has a remarkable talent for education; she graduated as her high school’s valedictorian at 13 and completed her bachelor’s degree at UCLA before her 18th birthday. It didn’t take long for Panabaker’s academic journey to ignite a newfound passion: animals.

Speaking with Naperville Magazine, she shared her reasons for departing Hollywood: “The enthusiasm and love for acting I once had was no longer present… At that point, ‘No Ordinary Family’ had ended, and I was 21 years old. For a while after, I continued to audition in LA, but the passion just wasn’t there.” Following this, she enrolled in a zoology program at the University of Florida in Gainesville and secured a position as an Animal Keeper at Disney World Orlando, where she still works today.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas

The captivating real-life tale of Jonathan Taylor Thomas could be unexpected for those who admired him as an actor during the ’90s. He gained fame as the voice of young Simba in Disney’s “The Lion King” and playing Randy, the troublemaking son on ABC’s sitcom “Home Improvement,” but starring as a child actor wasn’t something he found fulfilling. Instead, Thomas opted to further his education by enrolling at Harvard University in 2000.

Thomas had limited acting opportunities during the 21st century, with stints on Allen’s subsequent sitcom “Last Man Standing,” as well as roles in “Smallville” and “Veronica Mars.” However, after graduating from Columbia University in 2010, he hasn’t been seen on screen since 2015. Interestingly, his post-acting career has not strayed too far from the entertainment world.

2017 saw me becoming a board member for SAG-AFTRA, joining esteemed figures like Martin Sheen and Regina King in this role. Come 2019, I successfully ran for re-election and have been holding onto this position ever since. Apart from my union duties, I’ve been savoring the tranquility life has offered me. As I look back on those times, I remind myself that while it was a significant chapter, it doesn’t fully encapsulate who I am. Reflecting on the past, I cherish the good memories rather than dwelling on the magazine covers that bore my image.

Mara Wilson

Mara Wilson might not look familiar now, but you’d surely recognize her from her childhood days. Known for her acting prowess as a child, she made her debut in the 1993 film “Mrs. Doubtfire.” However, her most iconic role was that of Matilda in the 1996 movie, sharing screen space with Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. But the industry’s opportunities started dwindling, leading Mara to rethink her acting career and eventually pursue other avenues, such as earning a degree from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Over the subsequent years, my career flourished in an incredible way. I found myself immersed in theater performances, crafting my own plays, and even penning a memoir that delved into my life as a child star. As I shared on my blog back in 2012, I’m not yearning for the glamour of my past fame. Instead, I wrote, “I have no aspirations to return to film acting… Yes, I occasionally slip back onto the stage. Yet, when I do, it’s with individuals I know and trust, people who value me as a person and recognize the unique talents I bring.

Occasionally, she engages in voice acting work, notably in “BoJack Horseman” and “Big Hero 6: The Series”. However, the majority of her time is spent writing books and contributing occasional opinion pieces, expressing her views on how the media handles child stars. Regularly, you can find her narrating audiobooks and sharing her insights across various podcasts, which she often promotes on her Instagram page.

Chris Owen

In a former role, Chris Owen portrayed Chuck Sherman, who claimed to be a high-tech time traveler disguised as a sex robot, sent back in time to alter destiny for one fortunate woman, in the hit 1999 comedy “American Pie”. However, this was just his character. In reality, Chris Owen has had a notable acting career, featuring in the 1999 drama “October Sky”, the 2003 film “National Lampoon’s Gold Diggers”, and all sequels of the “American Pie” series, including the direct-to-video movie titled “American Pie Presents: Band Camp”.

More currently, it has been observed that Owen is now employed as a waiter at a sushi eatery in Santa Monica. According to Owen himself, speaking with the NY Daily News, “Life doesn’t always unfold as anticipated … I have an affinity for acting, and this position allows me to keep going.” The actor has been engaged in more frequent projects, such as films like “The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time,” “Money Game,” and “The Epidemic.” He has also made numerous guest appearances at fan gatherings throughout the 2020s, most recently at the Pittsburgh Comic-Con in December 2024, demonstrating his unwavering pride in his role as the Sherminator.

Phoebe Cates

In 1982, when “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” hit the screens, Phoebe Cates captivated boys worldwide. Her scene, famously referred to as the “most iconic bikini-reveal in cinematic history” by Rolling Stone, left a lasting impact on filmgoers. However, by the end of the 1980s, she found herself seeking a departure from Hollywood. The ’90s saw a series of box office flops for her, and an unexpected pregnancy prevented her from accepting the lead role in “Father of the Bride.

After the course her career took following movies like “Fast Times” and “Gremlins”, it’s understandable that Phoebe Cates chose to leave Hollywood for family life with her husband, Kevin Kline. Her last acting role before retiring was in “The Anniversary Party,” a film she made in 2001, which was co-written and co-directed by her friend and fellow “Fast Times” actor, Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Despite focusing on her acting career, Cates has also kept herself quite engaged elsewhere. In 2005, she established a boutique store, Blue Tree, in New York City, where she now resides with her family. Remarkably, this store is still thriving to this day, and Cates has been seen working there in recent years as well.

Frankie Muniz

Frankie Muniz, known for his iconic role in “Malcolm in the Middle,” has effortlessly moved beyond the influence of that celebrated character. His career took off when he starred as the lead in the Fox sitcom, which aired from 2000 to 2006. The series garnered numerous Primetime Emmy nominations, with Muniz earning one, Bryan Cranston receiving three, and Jane Kaczmarek and Cloris Leachman being nominated each season, with Leachman winning twice.

Looking back on his time as a child actor, Muniz finds that his memories are somewhat hazy. Due to multiple concussions over the years, he’s been diagnosed with aura migraines, which have led to memory gaps and confusion about what is real versus dream-induced experiences. Fortunately, he maintains connections with his TV family.

Following the conclusion of “Malcolm in the Middle,” Muniz opted for a career shift: racing cars. He participated in races during the late 2000s and finally made his stock car racing debut in 2021. In 2024, it was announced that he would be driving full-time for the NASCAR Truck Series starting from 2025. Speaking to People Magazine, Muniz expressed, “I don’t want to say it’s been a long time coming, but this has been a dream of mine for years… I want people to understand that I’ve fully committed my life to this.” Yet, he remains open to the possibility of resuming his acting career.

Bridgit Mendler

In just 32 years, Bridgit Mendler has accomplished an impressive amount. Her acting journey began when she was only 11 years old, starring in shows like “Wizards of Waverly Place,” “Good Luck, Charlie,” and “Lemonade Mouth” on the Disney Channel. On the side, much like other Disney stars, Mendler also ventured into a music career. This eventually led to her debut album, “Hello My Name Is…”, making it onto the Billboard 200 chart.

Apart from her busy acting career, Mendler was simultaneously working towards a bachelor’s degree in anthropology at the University of Southern California during the early 2010s, but she decided to withdraw in 2016. Later in 2018, she enrolled in MIT’s graduate program focusing on media arts and sciences, completing it two years afterwards. Interestingly, her thirst for knowledge didn’t stop there as she continued her education by pursuing a PhD at MIT and eventually earning another degree from Harvard Law School.

In 2020, she established a space satellite company named Northwood Space, marking a shift in her career during the COVID-19 pandemic. In an interview with Naomi Scott for Hero Magazine, Mendler expressed, “I began to sense a disconnection with my daily work in entertainment and ventured into the research field more… My parents always encouraged me, ‘Make a difference in your life.’ By all appearances, Mendler has followed this advice.

Angus T. Jones

Angus T. Jones, who initially played Jake in “Two and a Half Men” as a child of 10, eventually became one of the highest-earning child actors on TV by the age of 17, receiving $300,000 for each episode. The show significantly impacted his life, much like it did Charlie Sheen’s.

In the following years, the actor’s life experienced a significant shift as he joined the Forerunner Christian Church, publicly criticizing “Two and a Half Men” by stating, “I no longer wish to be part of it. I urge you to stop watching it and avoid exposure to impurity,” (as reported by The Hollywood Reporter). By 2014, Jones had officially left the show, making only a brief appearance during the series finale in 2015. Later on, he apologized for his harsh comments about the show, attributing them to a temporary negative outlook on life.

In the years that followed, Jones opted for a completely new path away from his childhood acting career. He teamed up with Justin Combs, P. Diddy’s son, and together they rose to become the president of entertainment at Tonite, an event production company. Despite a recent collaboration with Charlie Sheen and Chuck Lorre, creator of “Two and a Half Men,” in a cameo for the comedy series “Bookie,” it appears that Jones has no intentions of going back to the world of Hollywood.

Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes, a former child star who gained prominence on Nickelodeon’s sketch series “All That,” and later starred in her own show, “The Amanda Show,” experienced a shift in her career trajectory as she grew older. She featured in films like “She’s the Man,” “Hairspray,” and “Easy A.” However, during the 2010s, Bynes became known for a string of mental health issues that led to a conservatorship in 2013. This conservatorship ended in 2022, but unfortunately, she experienced another psychotic episode following her participation in an “All That” reunion panel in 2023.

It’s been uncovered that “The Amanda Show” had many unpleasant incidents off-camera, revealed in the 2024 docuseries “Quiet on Set.” Regrettably, Bynes isn’t the only former child star who endured a harmful work environment. Fortunately, however, things seem to be improving for Bynes as she shared on Instagram that she was retreating from the spotlight to pursue a career as a manicurist and secure a regular, stable job for the first time.

Bynes has been regularly posting about her experiences on social media, including going back to school to earn a manicurist license by taking the board exam. Yet, she seems less inclined towards acting again following the negative impact “Easy A” had on her self-perception; in 2018, she confessed that she believed she should never appear on screen again and officially retired from acting via Twitter – a decision she now admits was foolish (as reported by IndieWire).

Kal Penn

Kal Penn is predominantly known for his role in the “Harold & Kumar” duo, but he has also graced screens on TV series such as “House” and “How I Met Your Mother.” However, it might shock some fans to discover that in 2009, Penn joined Barack Obama’s administration, serving as an associate director in the White House’s Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs.

In his 2021 memoir titled “You Can’t Be Serious,” Penn revealed that he secured his initial White House position with the Obamas not through utilizing his celebrity connections, but by submitting an application online. He recounted his interview with advisor Valerie Jarrett, stating that to alleviate any doubts about the nature of his employment, he asked, “Valerie, can you confirm that I’m not being hired simply because I’m a well-known actor?” To which she responded, “I can assure you,” she politely smiled, “that you’re being hired despite it.” (As reported by The Hill)

2010 saw Penn stepping down from his position to re-embrace acting, an interesting twist as it led him to portray a White House staffer in the political thriller “Designated Survivor.” Later, during Obama’s second term, Penn was reappointed to the President’s Committee on Arts and Humanities. However, he chose to leave this committee in 2017, expressing his disapproval of Donald Trump’s comments concerning the Charlottesville protests.

Pamela Anderson

Over the past couple of years, Pamela Anderson has been experiencing quite a bit of professional success. Her latest film, “The Last Showgirl,” is generating Oscar buzz, following her highly praised Broadway debut in “Chicago” in 2022 and a 2023 Netflix documentary titled “Pamela, a Love Story.” Despite the ups and downs in her personal life, Anderson’s recent accomplishments might surprise some of her fans. Interestingly enough, during this successful period, she even found time for a temporary job as a dog-walker.

While performing on Broadway in 2022, Anderson had to leave her four dogs in Canada. To address this situation, she took up the role of a volunteer dog-walker without pay. In an interview with the New York Post, dog owner Jonathan Walland complimented Anderson’s care for his Irish setter, Dash, stating, “Although Pam received excellent reviews for her portrayal of Roxie Hart in ‘Chicago’, it is Dash who adores her the most.” It’s possible that you might have crossed paths with Anderson and Dash in Central Park on a typical weekday.

It seems unlikely that Anderson will start a dog-walking business in the near future, considering her busy schedule with awards events and upcoming projects such as Akiva Schaffer’s “The Naked Gun” and Karim Aïnouz’s thriller “Rosebush Pruning.” These days, it’s less common to go without hearing about Pamela Anderson.

Dylan Sprouse

While his twin brother Cole Sprouse was engrossed in the wildest exploits portrayed on “Riverdale”, Dylan Sprouse followed a distinctly unique life trajectory. The two siblings initially gained fame on the Disney Channel series “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody”, but later pursued higher education at New York University. Unlike Cole, who ventured into archaeological excavations in Bulgaria before joining “Riverdale”, Dylan delved into video game design. However, by the end of the decade, he surprisingly embarked on a completely different venture.

In the year 2018, Dylan established All-Wise Meadery, a mead production business located in Brooklyn, New York. He expressed to Vanity Fair that for actors or entertainers not to put their money into something more secure than the temporary job of acting, is foolishness. Indeed, All-Wise Meadery generated over $1 million in 2019 before unfortunately having to close their physical locations due to the pandemic.

Dylan hasn’t deviated much from Viking-inspired cuisine – he also started a protein-rich Icelandic yogurt company named Thor’s Skyr in collaboration with Hafþór Björnsson (famously known as The Mountain from “Game of Thrones”) and restaurateur Unnar Danielsson. Their partnership has been praised by Danielsson, who admires Dylan’s genuine passion for Nordic traditions, which appears to have kept the company thriving over the years. Perhaps there’s a possibility for them to collaborate again on the show “Suitelivet til Zack og Cody.

Katheryn Winnick

Concerning Vikings, you might recall Katheryn Winnick from her standout portrayal of Lagertha in the History Channel show “Vikings.” Few female characters on screen have delivered such powerful performances as Lagertha, and this is largely due to Winnick’s extensive martial arts history. She earned her first black belt at just 13 years old, and by her twenties, she was managing three tae kwon do studios in Toronto, Canada. This background not only propelled her into the film industry but also saw her teaching martial arts on film sets before her acting debut at 17.

Despite being nominated for her acting role in “Vikings” at the Critics’ Choice Awards, Winnick hasn’t abandoned her martial arts past. In fact, she opened “WIN KAI Women’s Self Defense” in 2015 – a program aimed at teaching women self-defense free of charge. On Live with Kelly and Ryan, Winnick shared that she is also a certified bodyguard and emphasized the importance of teaching self-defense to the crew members and fellow actors on every set she works on.

Instead of just showing his toughness through roles like the Vikings, Winnick has also demonstrated it by taking action in real life. He’s involved in supporting Ukraine, having started “The Winnick Foundation” in 2022 to help Ukrainian survivors and serving as an ambassador for UNITED24’s fundraising initiatives. Despite these commitments, he found time to return to TV for the crime drama series “Big Sky,” airing on ABC.

Geoffrey Owens

Geoffrey Owens earned his degree with honors from Yale University and played a role in the popular sitcom, “The Cosby Show,” from 1985 to its conclusion in 1992. He has also made guest appearances on shows such as “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “That’s So Raven.” However, it was a surprise for many when it was revealed in 2018 that Owens was working part-time at a Trader Joe’s store in New Jersey. Despite some criticism on social media about “job shaming,” the attention actually boosted his career.

Not long after news spread quickly, Tyler Perry extended a recurring role offer to Owens on his OWN series “The Haves and the Have Nots”. However, during an interview on the “Big Tigger Morning Show”, Owens shared that he had already left his job at Trader Joe’s. He explained, “It was peculiar as someone had been in the store taking photos… And I thought, with this becoming public now, I won’t feel secure working in this store, wondering who might be lurking with a camera.

As a devoted fan, I must admit that I’ve admired the work of John Owen, starring in shows like “Mythic Quest” and movies such as “Ezra.” However, he candidly confides that his life as an actor remains challenging, leading him to request additional hours at Trader Joe’s. This insight reminds me that behind the glamour of acting lies a struggle to make ends meet, a reality that resonates deeply for many artists like myself.

Drew Barrymore

Draw Barrymore has had a remarkable career in Hollywood that spans decades. Her acting journey commenced when she was barely a year old, featuring in a TV commercial, but it was her role as Gertie in “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” that truly catapulted her to fame. By the 1980s, she was one of the most prominent child stars, even hosting “Saturday Night Live” at just 7 years old. However, the limelight of a child star wasn’t always rosy for Barrymore; she battled substance abuse and self-harm issues, necessitating rehab stays, and her teenage years were marked by rebellious behavior that significantly impacted her public persona.

When she was 15 years old, Drew Barrymore gained independence from her parents by legally declaring herself an adult after a petition was granted. In her memoir “Wildflower”, she shared that she then lived in her own apartment and worked at a local coffee shop. She wrote, “I wasn’t very skilled at my job. I wasn’t particularly good at anything. I had only excelled in acting and living wildly. However, neither of those experiences prepared me for the real world.” (via The Guardian)

Initially, the coffeehouse job led Barrymore to meet her future friend and co-star, Cameron Diaz. Afterward, she worked diligently to repair her public image, eventually regaining her status as a sought-after actress with films such as “The Wedding Singer,” “Donnie Darko,” and “50 First Dates.” Since 2020, Barrymore has been hosting “The Drew Barrymore Show” on CBS, which is now preparing for its sixth season in 2025.

Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey initially gained fame through his roles in comedies like “Dazed and Confused” and “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” However, the 2010s saw a remarkable transformation in his career, with him delivering critically acclaimed dramatic performances. This shift was marked by his Oscar-winning role in “Dallas Buyers Club,” an Emmy-nominated stint in the first season of “True Detective,” and a memorable part in Christopher Nolan’s science fiction film “Interstellar.” As a result, he has successfully reinvented himself as a versatile actor.

In an interview with Glen Powell for Interview Magazine, he revealed that he took a two-year hiatus from Hollywood to reassess his career path. During this time, he expressed a desire to explore different professions, such as teaching high school, studying to become a conductor, or guiding wildlife. True to his word, in 2019, he found a new vocation as a professor at The University of Texas at Austin, where he now teaches film, commercials, and acting.

2024 finds Matthew McConaughey continuing to teach with top-notch reviews on RateMyProfessor.com. In his “Script to Screen” course, he guides students from initial script writing through to final production, sharing stories and insights gleaned from his extensive career. Yet, he hasn’t abandoned the world of Hollywood entirely; he contributes his voice to Netflix’s “Agent Elvis” and assumes Kevin Costner’s role in the “Yellowstone” television universe.

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn is undeniably one of the most recognized actresses in the world of film. Her breakthrough role in “Roman Holiday” alongside Gregory Peck brought her widespread acclaim and awards such as the 1953 Academy Award for Best Actress. Throughout her career, she was nominated five times for films like “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “The Nun’s Story,” and more. Additionally, Hepburn won Tony Awards for her work on Broadway. As time passed, however, Hepburn shifted her focus from acting to humanitarian efforts.

1989 marked the year when Audrey Hepburn concluded her acting career in Steven Spielberg’s “Always.” However, her humanitarian work was far from over. Since the end of World War II, she had been an active participant with UNICEF. In 1989, she officially became a Goodwill Ambassador for the organization. Throughout her life, she traveled extensively, focusing on assisting sick and underprivileged children. During a visit to Ethiopia, she expressed that she saw firsthand the impact of aid, stating that even a little help could significantly improve healthcare, agriculture, and crop cultivation.

In 1992, George H.W. Bush presented Audrey Hepburn with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her humanitarian work with UNICEF around the world. Tragically, she passed away the following year at the age of 63, leaving behind an enduring impact not only in the film industry but also on our global community as a whole.
