Audrey: An Intimate Portrait

A biography that features interviews with the late Audrey Hepburn, and her family, friends and colleagues. Hepburn as actress, mother, wife and goodwill ambassador for UNICEF are presented together with details of her life as a young girl in occupied Holland and her work for the Dutch resistance. The films in which she starred, among them "Roman Holiday", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", and "Funny Girl", have become classics. Audrey's life, however, could not have been more different than that of the characters she played on screen. Her only perfect relationship seems to have been with the public - she suffered two failed marriages and five miscarriages. Battling with illness - anorexia and, later, cancer - for most of her life she still found the energy and goodwill to work for others.
