Description
Audrey Hepburn was the epitome of elegance and style. Her beauty, fragility, grace and warmth set her apart from her Hollywood contemporaries. She spent World War II in poverty in Holland, then moved to London where she trained as a ballerina After making her stage debut on Broadway in Gigi she became one of the world's best loved screen actresses. Her performances in Roman Holiday, My Fair Lady and Breakfast at Tiffany's are unforgettable. For many, her extensive humanitarian work which show more marked her later life remains her greatest achievement. As well as photos by the likes of Richard Avedon and Slim Aarons, this unusually candid and intimate volume features less wellknown work such as Bert Hardy's very early shots for Picture Post from the 1950s and photos from the Time Life archive by Leonard McCombe and Ralph Morse. show lessTags
