About Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn (1929–1993) remains a globally recognized figure, primarily for her iconic status as a film actress whose career spanned the mid-20th century. Her indelible contributions to cinema, including Academy Award-winning roles, cemented her place in cultural history. The Pantheon project reflects this enduring cultural footprint by assigning her a Historical Popularity Index (HPI) rank of #667 among tens of thousands of influential historical figures.

Despite this high ranking based on historical influence, Hepburn garners significant contemporary attention, evidenced by approximately 3.5 million annualized Wikipedia views in 2025. This level of traffic results in an Attention Gap score of +10x, indicating a tenfold overattention relative to her historical importance ranking. For perspective, this modern interest far outstrips the online attention received by far more historically significant figures like the Roman Emperor Trajan (#342 importance) or the epic poet Virgil (#196 importance), who together accumulated less than 1.4 million views in the same period.

While her attention is robust, the data suggests a slight cooling trend, with her 2025 momentum showing a 15% decline between the first and third quarters, though her year-over-year view count still increased by 3.9%.
