Is Audrey Hepburn and Katharine Hepburn related?

No, the two Hepburns were not related.
Hepburn was not Audrey's real name. She was born ANDREY KATHLEEN RUSTON in Brussels, Belgium on May 4th 1929.
KATHERINE HOUGHTON HEPBURN was born on May 12th 1907 in Hartford, Connecticut.
Katherine was related to actress Katharine Houghton, her niece, and the two worked together in the film "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (1967).

That is not a stupid question at all.
It is sometimes claimed that Audrey Hepburn and Katharine Hepburn were related. The truth is they were only very distantly related, and certainly had never met before the former's rise to prominence. The closest relationship that has been identified for them is 19th cousins once removed. It has also been claimed that Audrey chose the last name Hepburn in honor of Katharine when she became an actress; however, the record shows that it was part of her family name for some time before she entered show business.

No. Katherine Hepburn was born in New England and Audrey was British.
