American actress Rooney Mara is set to star and produce a biopic about iconic British actress Audrey Hepburn.

The prestige project is scripted by Michael Mitnick, directed by Luca Guadagnino, and produced by Apple Studios.

No plotline details on the biopic have been revealed.

The Belgium-born British legend had starred in iconic movies such as "Breakfast at Tiffany’s", "My Fair Lady", "Funny Face", "Sabrina", and "Roman Holiday".

Hepburn’s influence and career extended beyond acting, she was a celebrated fashion icon, being the muse of French designer Hubert de Givenchy, and devoted a great deal of her life to charitable work.

She had retired from acting in the early 1980s, focusing instead on humanitarian projects and becoming closely associated with UNICEF. The actress passed away in Switzerland in 1993 at the age of 63 after a battle with appendiceal cancer.
