But Audrey Hepburn was not Belgian. She may have been born in Belgium but her father was British and her Mother Dutch. At birth she was a British subject, became a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies in 1948 and a British citizen in 1981.

Isn't that a pre-requisite for being Belgian?

 

So at some point she actually was Belgian thus making here a famous Belgian.
