An intimate look into a woman so many only saw in the superficial way. Very few looked beyond the mask of Hollywood’s darling to see who Audrey was; and very few were allowed to try. Using her dance history and resume of movies to tell the story, we are allowed a glimpse inside one of the most iconic starlets of Hollywood’s golden age. Beautiful portrait of a woman with a beautiful heart.

I love her, hate the book. So boring it goes into every single detail unnecessarily.

This biography did not sugarcoat Audrey Hepburn's life, but it did not treat it like a gossip column either. The facts were presented well, and the author always pointed out when he was speculating, which was very rare. What more could you ask from a biographer? I wanted to learn more about the actress, and I did.
