Most Brits would want to be reincarnated as Audrey Hepburn

Most people would like to be reincarnated as Hollywood legend Audrey Hepburn if they had a second chance at life, a poll commissioned by Harper Collins has found.

The Mirror reports that the 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' star topped the poll, ahead of Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill who came second and third respectively.

This was followed by Dame Elizabeth Taylor, Julius Caesar, Marilyn Monroe, Diana Princess of Wales, Cleopatra, John Lennon and Florence Nightingale.

It was also found that 33 per cent of Brits like the idea of a second chance at life, while another ten per cent believe in reincarnation.

Publisher Carole Tonkinson told the news provider: "More are subscribing to a pick-and-mix style of beliefs."

Audrey Hepburn was born in Belgium but was mostly brought up in England. She first came to fame in 1953 when she was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in 'Roman Holiday' opposite Gregory Peck.
