Talk about "precious cargo"! Seven weeks after Sean's birth, Audrey and Mel returned with him to LA from Switzerland. The infant's carrier looks super cozy — a perfect choice after a long flight.

When Mommy's a big star, there's bound to be lots of travel involved! Audrey is pictured here with seven-month-old Sean before the pair leave for Rome on a jetliner.

Audrey Hepburn Cuddling With Sean

A decade after Audrey Hepburn's death in 1993, Sean Ferrer spoke candidly to The Telegraph about hearing his mother's voice wherever he went: "For me, it's not the voice of an actress. What I hear is the woman who nursed me through ear infections or told me stories when I was young."

Audrey Hepburn With Her Youngest Child

Audrey Hepburn and her second husband, Andrea Dotti, welcomed her second and youngest child, Luca Dotti, on February 8, 1970. The couple is pictured here with their son — at seven years old — as they step outside into the cold together. Isn't it sweet how Audrey is keeping her son close to her amidst all the camera flashes from the paparazzi?

Even though Audrey Hepburn's eldest son had recently entered his 20s in this photo — taken at an American Film Institute tribute to Fred Astaire in 1981 — Sean is still happy to pose close to his beloved mother. What an upstanding young man!

Audrey Hepburn Traveling With Luca

Audrey Hepburn, super-mom that she is, keeps her son Luca — pictured here as a young teen — close as ever as they make their way through an airport together in 1984. More than a decade after Audrey Hepburn's passing, Luca opened up to People about his mother staying true to herself as "a simple country girl" and an adoring parent rather than an icon.

Luca even revealed to the publication that he didn't actually know his mom was a movie star until he saw the film Love in the Afternoon as a child: "Suddenly, there was my mother kissing Gary Cooper. I remember perfectly because I was so embarrassed and I ran to my father and said, 'Dad, this is serious. You should be upset. Mommy is kissing another man.' So that explains how much I was aware that my mother could possibly be a movie star. I had no idea."
