According to one biographer* Audrey Hepburn's grandmother tied her neck to the back of her chair at the dinner table so she would not slump over her food, but would rather learn to put only small amounts on her spoon to bring to her mouth.

Gosh, that seems rather extreme! I have distinct memories of the way my father used to say "Food to mouth, not mouth to food!" when my brother and I slouched at the dinner table.
On a completely unrelated note, Audrey looks just like the Childlike Empress from the Neverending Story in this photo!
She totally does! This pic must've been the inspiration. Even the eyebrows are similar. That movie always freaked me out for some reason.
My Mom used the, 'Shoulders back, stomach in, chest out.' technique.
