Innocent, elegant, ethereal in her beauty, Audrey Hepburn stood alone among the actresses of her time. From her first moment of fame in Roman Holiday, through the triumphs of Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady, her screen presence was unique. Gregory Peck called her "a magical combination of high chic and high spirits." But Hepburn's story is also one of lifelong struggle--to escape the burden of family history, and to conquer the demons of her own life. In this newly expanded edition of his definitive biography, Alexander Walker reveals new details about her parents' Fascist sympathies, about Audrey's own wartime experiences, and about the tragic story of her attempts to make peace with her father before the end of his life. And he offers a moving portrait of a woman whose search for happiness was compromised all her life by insecurity, eating disorders, and an inability to find lasting love. From her troubled childhood through her heartfelt battle against world hunger on behalf of UNICEF, Alexander Walker has painted a candid and affectionate portrait of one of the world's most beloved actresses: This is Audrey's real story. Review: A good read - Thoroughly enjoyed this book, and fell in love a little bit with AH. Review: The story of this beautiful courageous woman - I would encourage any Audrey Hepburn fan to read this book. The story of this beautiful courageous woman, is comprehensively chronicled by Alexander Walker. You feel like you are making a journey with Audrey as so many untold disclosures of her life history are revealed. Great read ~

Book - Audrey - her real story.
I have had your used books before & when they arrived they were in just about new condition. This book I bought for my son who hasnt got it yet, but I was surprised to see someone had written numbers on the inside of the book cover & the next page, I dont know if this is also considered as a used book. The book came on time & was suitably packaged.
