My Fair Lady is a 1964 musical drama film directed by George Cukor and starred Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison, Stanley Holloway, Gladys Cooper and Wilfrid Hyde-White. The story centers around Eliza Doolittle, a poor Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from Henry Higgins, an arrogant phonetics professor, so that she may pass as a lady and be able to work in a flower shop. It was a notable critical and commercial success, with eight Academy Awards won, including Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Director.
