Audrey Hepburn was the epitome of elegance and style. Her beauty, fragility, grace, and warmth all set her apart from her Hollywood contemporaries. After making her stage debut on Broadway in Gigi, she became one of the world’s best-loved screen actresses. Her performances in Roman Holiday, My Fair Lady, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s are unforgettable. For many, her extensive humanitarian work, which marked her later life, remains her greatest achievement.Among photos by the likes of Richard Avedon and Slim Aarons, this unusually candid and intimate volume features less well-known work such as Bert Hardy’s very early shots for Picture Post from the 1950s and photos from the TimeLife archive by Leonard McCombe and Ralph Morse.
