Editorial Reviews

Product Description
With nearly thirty movies, countless awards, and an unwavering commitment to UNICEF, Audrey Hepburn's life served as an example of both style and purpose. From her early dance performances for the Dutch resistance during World War II to her London cabaret days and her breakthrough roles in Gigi and Roman Holiday, audiences worldwide have long been enchanted by Audrey's charm and grace.

Now, in this lavishly illustrated biography -- created with the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund -- Audrey's own words are given center stage to create a unique personal narrative. This special collection also includes approximately 200 black-and-white and color photographs selected by the Hepburn Estate, as well as reproduced mementos from Audrey's life. Thirty-four removable documents include an excerpt from her Breakfast at Tiffany's script with handwritten notes, a letter she sent to husband Mel Ferrer while preparing for The Nun's Story, and a birth certificate announcement marking the arrival of her first son.

A dazzling celebration of an extraordinary human being, The Audrey Hepburn Treasures offers fan an intimate and revealing portrait of the woman they admire and adore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yet Another Dose of Audrey This Time in a Meticulously Presented Scrapbook Format, October 17, 2006
By Ed Uyeshima (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)         
With clips of her lithe figure spotlighted in the Gap's new ads for their skinny black pants (anachronistically accompanied by AC/DC's "Back in Black"), screen legend Audrey Hepburn continues to engender new fans with her unearthly gamine qualities and timeless sense of style. Two years ago, her son Sean Hepburn Ferrer penned a loving tribute filled with remembrances from colleagues and family friends (he also wrote the foreword to this book) , and celebrity biographer Donald Spoto just released a somewhat more objective but still fawning account of her life. This one falls securely into the same perspective, as it is a relatively pricey volume which takes a more souvenir scrapbook format complete with a stunning gallery of photos, many never before published, and most creatively, copies of personal mementos slipped into thirteen glassine envelopes inserted in the book.

One definitely gets a sense of Hepburn's voice in the numerous handwritten notes, most particularly in a personal letter to her then-husband Mel Ferrer while preparing for what was to be her most powerful screen performance in Fred Zinnemann's "The Nun's Story". Compiled and written by Ellen Erwin and Jessica Z. Diamond, the coffee table book covers all the familiar events of her life - her beleaguered childhood in Belgium and Holland during WWII, her days as a London cabaret dancer, her brief but successful stint on Broadway, her unparalleled screen career, and finally her unyielding devotion to starving children on behalf of UNICEF toward the end of her life. It should come as no surprise that there are no particularly new insights introduced by the co-authors since it is really their creative approach that is meant to induce a cathartic experience for Hepburn's most die-hard fans. The most worthy aspect of the book is that some of the proceeds from this book will benefit the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real treasure, December 6, 2006
This book is a beautifully executed loving depiction and moving tribute to the extradordinary and profound life of Audrey Hepburn. This book is unlike any other in the way you are allowed to know Audrey Hepburn as if you were her close friend. Through the exquisite writing and amazing photos (some never published before) to her personal notes, letters and other items you are able to get an unique insider's look into the person she was, stripping away the icon everybody knows, to reveal someone who transcended her celebrity to change the way the world saw and helped children in need. It is a must if you a fan, but even if you're not, it is still worthwhile to experience her journey as a woman of heart and purpose.
