Audrey Hepburn was the epitome of elegance and style. Her beauty, fragility, grace and warmth set her apart from her Hollywood contemporaries. She spent World War II in poverty in Holland, then moved to London where she trained as a ballerina. 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. As well as photos by the likes of Richard Avedon and Slim Aarons, this unusually candid and intimate volume features less well-known works such as Bert Hardy's very early shots for Picture Post from the 1950s and photos from the Time/Life archive by Leonard McCombe and Ralph Morse.
