This moving and heartwarming biography, penned by Alexander Walker, delves into the extraordinary combination of luck and talent that propelled a fragile young girl, who narrowly escaped the horrors of Nazi-occupied Europe, to the pinnacles of stardom on the New York stage and the silver screen.
Few stars have managed to capture the public's affection as deeply as Audrey Hepburn. Beautiful, delicate, and graceful, she possessed a warmth and natural charm that enchanted audiences from the moment she graced the screen.
