Little Book Of Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn was one of the most admired and emulated women of the 20th century, an Academy Award-winning actress, model and humanitarian. But Hepburn also had enormous sadness in her life: two failed marriages, a broken engagement and the crushing disappointment that occupied her triumph in My Fair Lady. This fascinating tribute, which chronicles Hepburn’s life from her near death in Hitler-occupied Europe to her conquest, in just one year, of the New York and Hollywood stages, illustrates and illuminates all things Audrey Hepburn. While trapped in the Netherlands at the end of World War II, Audrey and her family received food and medical aid from UNICEF – an act of charity she never forgot, as later in life Hepburn devoted much of her time to UNICEF, becoming a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. From her early years as an ingenue to her status as an icon of elegance, in her Oscar-winning performance in Roman Holiday and the height of her career in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hepburn's star quality resonates around the world, even long after her death. Few stars, before or since, are as beloved as Audrey Hepburn and The Little Guide to Audrey Hepburn details why. My look is accessible to everyone. With my hair up in a bun, big sunglasses and a black dress, any woman can look like me. Audrey Hepburn For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, say only kind words; and for balance, walk knowing you are never alone. Audrey Hepburn Remember, if you ever need help, it's at the end of your arm. As you get older, remember that you have another hand: the first is to help yourself and the second is to help others.
