The essential guide to a Hollywood icon. Audrey Hepburn was one of the most admired and emulated women of the twentieth century, an Oscar-winning actress, a model and humanitarian. Described by Vogue as ' the acme of classic beauty' , named the ' most beautiful woman of the 20th century' and ' the most stylish Brit of all time' Hepburn' s influence as a style icon continues long after death. But Hepburn also had huge sadness in her life: two failed marriages, a broken engagement, and the crushing disappointment that occupied her triumph in My Fair Lady. Chronicling Hepburn' s life, from her nearly dying in Hitler' s occupied Europe, to her conquering, in just one year, the New York stage and the Hollywood screen, this fascinating tribute illustrates and illuminates all things Audrey Hepburn. While trapped in the Netherlands at the end of WW2, Audrey and her family received critical food and medical relief 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 for Roman Holiday and the career high of Breakfast at Tiffany' s, Hepburn' s star quality resonates across the globe - even so long after her death. Few stars before or since are as beloved as Audrey Hepburn and The Little Book of Audrey Hepburn details why. ' My appearance is accessible to everyone. With hair tied in a bun, big sunglasses and black dress, every woman can look like me. ' Audrey Hepburn ' For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. ' Audrey Hepburn ' Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it' s at the end of your arm. As you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others. ' Audrey Hepburn
