“A sumptuous book which will delight idolaters of high fashion and movie stardom.” — Times Literary Supplement This work is a lavish tribute to Audrey Hepburn as a fashion icon and actress. It chronicles her life from her childhood in Nazi-occupied Holland to her aspirations as a ballet dancer, her meteoric rise in Hollywood, and her later humanitarian efforts with impoverished children. Hepburn's acting career took off after minor roles in London, leading to her casting by Colette in the Broadway adaptation of Gigi. Her breakout role in Roman Holiday earned her an Oscar for Best Actress. The narrative highlights her numerous accolades, including a Tony Award for Ondine and memorable performances in War and Peace and The Nun’s Story. Hepburn's impeccable style, often crafted by Givenchy, secured her a spot on the Best-Dressed Women list for years. Her enchanting personality and ethereal beauty captivated audiences. Upon her passing, Liz Taylor remarked, “God has a most beautiful new angel now that will know just what to do in heaven.” Skyhorse Publishing is dedicated to a diverse range of biographies, memoirs, and stories that illuminate both celebrated figures and overlooked narratives.
