This passport encompasses a pivotal moment in Hepburn's career, the end of her long running MGM contract in 1952 and the start of a period where she was at last free to choose her own projects. The first of these was 1955's Summertime, a romantic comedy directed by David Lean and filmed in Venice. The passport records multiple trips through both Rome and Naples corresponding with this project. Hepburn would earn an Academy Award nomination for her work on the film and Lean would go on to say that Summertime was his favorite of his films and Hepburn his favorite actress to work with. following Summertime, Hepburn toured Australia with the Old Vic theatre company, playing Portia in The Merchant of Venice, Kate in The Taming of the Shrew, and Isabella in Measure for Measure. A six month Australian business visa valid from 21 April 1955- 3 March 1956 can be seen on page 17.
