Description

Early signed contract amendment between Paramount Pictures and Audrey Hepburn, who made her major film debut in Roman Holiday just two months prior

DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, November 4, 1953. Amendment to a contract between Audrey Hepburn and Paramount Pictures, which allows the actress to work outside of their contract: “Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs FOURTH and FIFTH hereof, the Artist shall have the right, however (except during any periods of time when the Artist shall be in default under any of the terms and conditions of this agreement), to engage in any field of activity for herself or for any person, film or corporation other than the Corporation, except in connection with motion picture photoplays other than motion picture photoplays which shall be produced outside the continental limits of the United States of America, but only at such time or times when the Artist shall not be rendering or be required to render her services under this agreement." Signed neatly at the conclusion in blue ballpoint by Hepburn. In fine condition

An appreciably early signed movie document from Hepburn, who starred in her first major film role and made her first appearance in an American film just two months earlier with the premiere of Roman Holiday. Roughly five months later, on March 25, 1954, Hepburn’s life changed forever when she won the Best Actress Oscar at the 26th Academy Awards. Her role in Roman Holiday cemented her as the first actress to win an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a BAFTA Award for a single performance.
