Hepburn always knew that acting would only be one part of her life and career.
Per People, she once declared, “I can’t be a leading lady all my life.”
As it turns out, her next role involved work that was far more perilous than most people knew.
Hepburn, then 58, immediately accepted (viaPeople).
Just four months after her trip to Somalia, Hepburn died of cancer at age 63.
