The rare special stamp featuring late British actress Audrey Hepburn is on display in Berlin on Friday, March 27, 2009. The stamp will be auctioned Tuesday, May 26, 2009, and is said to be worth more than $40,000. In 2001, the German government printed the Audrey Hepburn stamps as part of a series featuring movie stars, but they were destroyed after Hepburn's son, Sean Ferrer, objected to the cigarette holder dangling from the actress' mouth and refused to grant copyright. Only five of these stamps are known to exist.

This is interesting, considering that a set of valuable postage stamps plays an important role in the plot of one of Hepburn's best films, "Charade."
