Audrey hepburn biography book

An enchanting biography of an unforgettable person, who was beautiful both inside and out.

Audrey Hepburn has to be one of the most beautiful people; both physically and with a heart that shone with warmth and love. In an age when icons were stereotypically curvaceous, blond bombshells Audrey broke the trend with her slim figure and stunning features (in particular her face). Her vivacity and energy, her innocence and charm along with her natural and matchless beauty propelled her to the height of Hollywood fame.

Barry Paris’s comprehensive biography starts at the very beginning with Audrey’s childhood, where she grew up in Nazi-occupied Holland until moving to London, England. Discovered in the West End chorus line she was catapulted into fame with the iconic role of Gigi on Broadway, with this charming and unforgettable French tale about love. What followed was a glittering and magical career, where she played in both Oscar and Tony award winning performances. Breakfast at Tiffany’s has to be one of the most prominent films she was a part of, where Audrey Hepburn went strait to the hearts of everyone who watched her; captivated and mesmerized by her outstanding performance. My Fair Lady was another film that was met with such high critical acclaim as to be recorded in the history books, where the character of Eliza Do-Little is brought to life on screen. Later in life Audrey chose to leave the glamour of Hollywood and devoted her later years to UNICEF as an ambassador. Warm, humorous and full of whit as well as moving and emotional, you are taken on a real rollercoaster of a ride exploring the ups and downs including the hard, difficult moments too. Her performance in My Fair Lady with the legendary Rex Harrison is certainly one of those moments in this book that takes your breath away.
This sympathetic biography is a wonderful tribute to an incredible actress and memorable woman, who is just totally unforgettable and a legend
