Paparazzi picture of Audrey Hepburn

Hi everyone! So I stumbled across a paparazzi picture of Audrey Hepburn in an old magazine. Since I had never seen it before, I thought I might share it.

I'm pretty sure it's from 1959. Photo caption reads: Mel Ferrer and Audrey Hepburn have unexpectedly arrived in Montreux to spend a few days looking for a castle where they can film a movie. Here we see the couple after a tennis match.

Hope you like it!
