Audrey Hepburn

Description

The most ambitious and personal account ever written about Hollywood’s most gracious star-Audrey Hepburn by Barry Paris is a “moving portrayal” (The New York Times Book Review) that truly captures the woman who captured our hearts…

With the insights of family and friends who never before spoke to a Hepburn biographer-and never-before-published photographs-Paris has created an in-depth portrait of the actress, from her childhood in Nazi-occupied Europe, through her legendary career, and into her UN ambassadorship.”Rich and definitive…fascinating.” —*Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“Illuminates the complex inner life of the highest-paid actress of her time.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Certainly [Paris’s] account seems more personal than other recent biographies of Hepburn have been. In part, this may be because Paris had better access to family and friends, but he is also a very good writer, and his mix of anecdote and observation is just right.” —BooklistBarry Paris is the author of the acclaimed biographies Louise Brooks and Garbo. His articles have appeared in The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, American Film.US
