Audrey Hepburn might be gone, but she’s sure not forgotten. The “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” star was voted the most naturally beautiful woman of all time in an extensive poll of beauty editors, make-up artists, model agencies and fashion photographers, reports Hello! Magazine.

Actress Liv Tyler was in second place, followed by Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie and ‘50s siren Grace Kelly. The Top 10 was rounded out by Natalie Imbruglia, Juliette Binoche, Halle Berry, Helena Christensen and Elle MacPherson.

The study, carried out by mineral water company Evian, asked beauty experts to make their choices based on “the embodiment of natural beauty, healthy living, beautiful on the inside and out, with great skin and a natural glow to their personality, as well as their complexion.”

Hepburn was included in the Top 10 by more than three-quarters of the experts polled.

“She is the personification of natural beauty,” said Elle’s Rosie Green. “She has a rare charm and inner beauty that radiates when she smiles.”

We’re holding out for her desk set

As for that other Hepburn — namely, Katharine Hepburn — her estate is selling some 1,000 personal possessions of the four-time Academy Award winner, who died last June at age 96.

Offerings in the Sotheby’s auction catalog include telegram exchanges with lover Howard Hughes; a bronze bust she sculpted of longtime love Spencer Tracy, which she carried on her travels; a battery-powered golf cart, a gift from director George Cukor; and a small rock Hepburn used to prop open her bedroom door.

She’ll soon be the wife next door

Sorry, red-blooded male “24” fans: Britain’s The Sun tabloid reports that Elisha Cuthbert is getting married.

The 21-year-old beauty, who starred on the big screen in “The Girl Next Door,” is said to have accepted a proposal from boyfriend Trace Ayala, a personal assistant to pop star Justin Timberlake.

At least they both know how to party

Elsewhere on the matrimonial front, actor Scott Wolf of the former Fox hit “Party of Five” has tied the knot with Kelley Limp, a former cast member of MTV’s “The Real World.”

The two exchanged vows in a traditional ceremony in Fayetteville, Ark., Limp’s hometown. Limp, who joined “The Real World: New Orleans” in the spring of 2000, now works in television marketing in Los Angeles.

Fame? They’re still drinking it all in

Times are tough for former child stars, at least on the highway.

Ex-“Family Ties” tyke Brian Bonsall was rung up on drunken-driving charges in Boulder, Colo., last week, while in Glendale, Calif., former “Home Improvement” clan member Zachery Ty Bryan was similarly arrested.

Bonsall, 22, was stopped after an officer watched him pull over his Chevrolet SUV to the side of the road and let his passenger throw up out the window. When asked how much he’d been drinking, Bonsall allegedly replied: “Plenty.”

Bryan, also 22, was clocked traveling 100 mph on the Glendale Freeway. He admitted to a consumption total consisting of four beers and a vodka tonic.
