It has great quality pictures, some I have never seen before, from her earlier years through her final moments of life. Just marvelous, I thought it was very well worth it. I personally love the one of Roman Holiday, the one that opens the book.

"Audrey: A Life In Pictures" takes readers on a pictorial journey of the life of Audrey Hepburn from her teen years as a dancer through her life as a movie star up to her death. There are more than 120 photos, a mixture of both black and white and color. Each photo has a caption or antecdote. While there are not many photos in this book that I have not seen before, it is nice to have this one large assortment of photos all in one collection. Flipping through the book it is easy to see why Audrey is the style icon that she is. Her regal beauty NEVER faded, even in photos taken just six months before her death. This is an essential item for the Audrey Hepburn fan!

Whenever I think of style, beauty and grace, I think of Audrey Hepburn. Even after her death, she is still the epitome of glamour and sophistication. In this book you get a brief bio complete with some beautiful photographs of the legendary actress. There are photographs of some of her best films -- Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, etc. -- and intimate portraits with her family. This is a great collector's item that every Audrey Hepburn fan should own.

It's a coffe table book and perfect to showcase/

This book tells the enchanting tale of Audrey Hepburn's wonderful life. From her birth in Belgium to her tragic death, this book tells you all about Audrey herself and what was happening through a fantastic collection of pictures. The pictures show her natural grace and elegance that she maintained throughout her life, even in her sixties. I seriously recommend it for any Audrey fan.

The photographs of Audrey Hepburn are (of course) beautiful, but the text accompanying them lacks both beauty and integrity. Factual errors appear from beginning to end - starting with Audrey's birthname and ending with her burial site (she was born Audrey Kathleen Ruston, not Edda Hepburn, and buried in the cemetery in the Swiss town where she lived, not on her own property there - see son Sean Ferrer's book for accurate facts). The sad facts of Audrey Hepburn's life were also exaggerated in the text, as if her charm and elegance are not interesting enough. By all accounts, people who knew Audrey, however, never had a negative word to speak of her. While the photographs in this book do justice for Audrey Hepburn's beauty, the inaccurate and poorly written text is disappointing.

This is an absolutely beautiful collection of photos of the most mesmerizing women ever to grace the silver screen. After watching "Roman Holiday" I found myself wanting to know everything there is to know about the princess whose style and charm could steal any man's heart. I found this to be a great introduction to Hepburn, an excellent overview of her life and movies. The classic photos of "Roman Holiday" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" alone make this a priceless addition to any fan's bookshelf.

Audrey Hepburn: A Life in Pictures (Life in Pictures) is just that, a documentation in photographs of this well remembered actress. I enjoy this book from time by just opening it and glancing at the pictures. Some people really capture our hearts. Audrey Hepburn was one of those people.
