Excellent biography by Ian Woodward. Thoroughly absorbed in Ian's description of Audrey's early life up to her first steps in to acting. I would have liked a few more words on the subjects work for UNICEF but that really is a small quibble. An inspirational read about an inspirational human being.

Such a dull read. A book about Audrey Hepburn should match her personality and charisma and this definitely fell short.

An interesting read for any Audrey Hepburn fan - good to know about her humble beginnings. Heart-affirming to know that inspite of the trials and tribulations in her life she turned out to be such a compassionate and well-loved celebrity. Also interesting to see what goes on behind the glamourous facade of Hollywood - especially in the 50s and 60s.

That she is a fighter who survived the german occupation in holland--that she is of noble ancestry with ties to Surinam (East Dutch Indies) tha she made a film in East Africa--and I know that I loved her for her work with African children--she is smart, charming, resilient and no-nonsense
