...gallery of elegant, gorgeous, witty leading ladies that Britain showcased in the years just after World War II is crowded and entrancing: Deborah Kerr, Claire Bloom, Kay Kendall, Joan Greenwood, Dorothy Tutin and of course Audrey Hepburn - whose career was launched as the princess in Roman Holiday because Howard Hughes, the owner of Simmons' contract at the time, refused to loan her out for the role.
