Back Cover Synopsis: "Her name is synonymous with elegance, style, and grace. Over the course of her extraordinary life and career, Audrey Hepburn captured hearts around the world and created a public image that stands as one of the most recognizable and beloved in recent memory. But despite her international fame and her tireless efforts on behalf of UNICEF, Audrey was also known for her intense privacy. With unprecedented access to studio archives, friends and colleagues who knew and loved Audrey, bestselling author Donald Spoto provides an intimate and moving account of this beautiful, elusive, and talented woman."
Review: Because I adore Audrey Hepburn, I was ecstatic to come across this book. I expected it to be intriguing the entire way through. I found that maybe half the time, I couldn't get enough of Spoto's Audrey information, and the other half, I tried not to fall asleep. Some of the book felt a little heavy--difficult to get through. But on the other hand, I had never known some of the information included (her relationships with her husbands, her insecurities with her acting and her appearance).
All in all, I would recommend this book to die-hard Audrey Hepburn fans, but I think there are probably "lighter", easier to read books available about our beloved Audrey.
