520 $aWhen she began writing her biography of Audrey Hepburn, author Diana Maychick never dreamed she would have such unprecedented access to the reclusive and legendary star. Audrey Hepburn insisted that a proper biography could never be completed unless she was willing to share some intensely personal and painful memories. For the next year, Hepburn and Maychick spent countless hours together in conversation, as Audrey opened up about her childhood, her careers, and the.

What emerges from the pages of Audrey Hepburn: An Intimate Portrait is a wonderfully personal look at one of the most elegant women of the century. It also provides a candid look at Audrey's painful childhood, her parents' constant battles, her mother's demanding hauteur, her father's blatant Nazi.

It also celebrates her fabled rise from show girl to film star and how, with her beguiling eyes and sophisticated manners, she seduced Hollywood away from its fixation on blond bombshells. In Audrey.

We also get an intimate view of Hepburn's evolution from film legend to ambassador for UNICEF and an appreciation of how her tireless efforts on behalf of starving children has raised the consciousness of the world. Her valiant trips to Somalia, even as she was dying in 1992, provided a poignant message to an often indifferent world that something had to be done to avert the death of millions in.

Most of all we have lost someone who embodied grace, elegance, and intelligence at a time when those very qualities seem to be in such short supply. Audrey Hepburn: An Intimate Portrait will provide readers with both a remembrance and a celebration of this unforgettable woman and a chance to fall in love with her all over again.
