About this listen

Beginning with her harsh childhood in Nazi-occupied Holland, Warren Harris chronicles Audrey Hepburn's meteoric rise to Hollywood stardom: her chance encounter with Colette that led to the lead role in the Broadway version of Gigi, and her first starring role in Roman Holiday, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Hepburn played opposite the top leading men, worked for the best directors, and picked from a wide range of roles.

She memorably embodied Truman Capote's Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's and went from rags to Technicolor Victorian beauty in My Fair Lady. Warren Harris also traces Hepburn's affairs and unhappy marriages, as well as her later work as goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. Throughout the book he illuminates her special ability to exude grace and style, both on screen and off.

Great detail

A wonderful audiobook describing the life of a legend. The author did a great job collecting facts and sharing Audrey’s lifelong journey.
Narrator was easy to listen to.

Especially enjoyed her earlier and later lives

I am not big on celebrity biographies, but had this free through Audible Plus, so decided to listen. I especially enjoyed learning about Audrey’s early life and how she survived WWII. I similarly enjoyed her later years spent advocating for UNESCO. Lots of interesting gems along the way. A good listen.
