Rare Audrey Hepburn stamp goes to auction

FILE - In this March 27, 2009 file picture German auctioneer Elisabeth Schlegel shows a poster featuring the rare special stamp of late British actress Audrey Hepburn in Berlin. The stamp will be auctioned Tuesday, May 26, 2009, and is said to be worth more than 30,000 Euro (US$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. (AP Photo/Fritz Reiss,file)
