Description
This is the definitive tribute to the glamour and character of a beloved icon, including rarely published details, photographs, and stories about the lasting impact of Audrey Hepburn's remarkable life.
Academy Award-winning actress, fashion icon, ethereal beauty, wife, mother, World War II resistance activist, and UNICEF championโAudrey Hepburn transcended her era and became a global idol whose appeal continues to soar in the twenty-first century.
Packed with beautiful photographs of the star at her most captivating and supplemented with incisive fashion commentary from award-winning designer Jeffrey Banks, Audrey Hepburn: A Beautiful Uncertainty is a one-of-a-kind exploration of Audreyโs glamorous image and remarkable life. Always leading with her heart, Hepburn is shown here fully captured in all her complexity: an often self-doubting but brilliant and genuinely kind woman whose style and activism changed the world.
Slipping behind the scenes of Hollywoodโs Golden Age, author Tom Santopietro details Audreyโs personal and professional life, from her legendary dance partnership with Fred Astaire on the classic Funny Face to her love affairs with Albert Finney and William Holden.
Throughout, her life and career are juxtaposed with the lasting legacy of her iconic image and unerring fashion sensibility, as she played muse to the brilliant designer Hubert de Givenchy and inspired women from Jacqueline Onassis to Carly Simon.
