Description
Inspired by a beloved icon who balanced sensibility and sex appeal, celebrity and humanitarian efforts with evident ease, this charming little guide examines the art of being a woman. More philosophy than biography, Hepburn fans will uncover the deeply thinking, deeply feeling woman who found success on the silver screen, in her own home and in the world at large. Through Hepburn's own words from interviews, what her friends said, and behind-the-scenes stories, readers will develop a new show more outlook on their whole lives from careers to love lives to wardrobes. show lessTags

I will start by saying that I am a big fan of Audrey Hepburn, and I always enjoy learning more about her; but this book was mediocre at best.
It is a collection of quotes, which the author has attempted to categorize in the hopes of teaching one how to become Audrey-like. Unfortunately, most of the time I didn't really see the relevance of the quote to the category, or there were contradicting ideas in the quotes, or the quote was just uninteresting; and the authors introductory commentary to each section was banal.
On the whole I wouldn't say that I didn't like the book, I would say I'm indifferent. It gets an impassive shoulder shrug.

This is a lovely tribute to a true film legend . Audrey Hepburn always did her best to maintain dignity and grace in public . This bookcollects some inspiring quotes from the many interviews she gave throughout her career . It also has beautiful photos of her too . Wonderful keepsake for any fan .
What a beautiful, inspirational woman. ♡
