A lovely and moving biography (and apparently one I’ve had for quite some time, judging by the notebook pages dated 2008 that I apparently used as a bookmark!)

She was such a gracious and elegant woman. This book shares a little of her private life, and a lot of details about her movies. A lighthearted read of a woman who lived a fantastic life on her own terms.

Audrey Hepburn was, and is, one of my all-time favorite actresses. I went through an "Audrey" phase in middle school and read this back then. The best parts of this book, from what I can remember, are the beginning and end, which describe Audrey apart from her movie roles. Her childhood experiences in the Netherlands under the German occupation during World War II, and her relief work as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF towards the end of her life, make this biography worth reading and demonstrate the humanness behind one of America's most-loved stars.

I have seen a lot compare this biography to others about Audrey Hepburn, but as this is my first biography about her, and since I have nothing to compare it to, I really enjoyed it.
