Summary: Not a coffee table - pretty picture book - still a MUST read
Review: Another well written biography by Alexander Walker. Not only handles the mechanics of her films, but also gets into her personal life the ups and downs (mostly downs). This is not a coffee table - pretty picture book (Although there are gorgeous pictures of her, as any and all pictures of Audrey are). This book is a serious read. If you are a new found fan of Audrey Hepburn, this may not be the best book for you to start with, she was a very wonderful - but lonely lady. It is a sad story, a complete chronicle of her very private life including her work with UNICEF. A life very much meant to be cherished and remembered. This is my 3rd biography by Alexander Walker - I also recommend Vivien Leigh and Bette Davis. Vivien Leigh was the first A.W. biography I read and I have been hooked ever since.

Summary: As always, stars disillusion us:
Review: From Audrey's facinating childhood and tragic war experience and her sad rejection in dance, to her fabulous movie career and multiple marriages, we find that stars always confuse us with the images that they portray on the screen. Not that Audrey was a bad person, just different from what you would think her as. Whatever she may have been, she had a wonderful and strong personality and a dear, giving heart. A wonderful telling of her life which I recommend for biography readers everywhere.

Summary: This book has gorgeous pictures!
Review: I saw this book at my aunt's house, and spent the rest of my visit pouring over the beautiful pictures of Audrey Hepburn. She gave me the book and I then read about Ms. Hepburn, and learned about this wonderful woman, who not only starred in over 20 films, but also was a representative for UNICEF in her later years. This book is a MUST for anyone the least bit interested in Audrey Hepburn, and it's definetely one to add to your collection.

Summary: Audrey: THE TRUTH
Review: If you want to find a book about the happy life of Audrey Hepburn and wanna see pictures of all the styles she wore then don't buy this book. This book by Alexendar Walker is the real truth, the author goes from Califronia to New York to Europe to research books, articles, and people who knew Audrey Hepburn and her parents and husbands. This book tells about her miscarrgies, divorces, lonely and hard times for her. This book gave me a better understanding of how she felt, and now I have a deeper love and respect for her.

Summary: Audrey would call it "divine"
Review: Mr. Walker has done a wonderful job, showing us the true side of Miss Hepburn. A fan myself, I only grew to love her more as I read "Audrey : Her Real Story". Her kindess, elegance, and strength are excellent role models for anyone to follow. Her high standard of morals was evident, and she was loved for it.
Yes, Mr. Walker has indeed shared with us the joy of learning about one of the most beautiful and wonderful people that has ever lived.

Summary: eh
Review: This book is tedious. I wanted a book that told about Audrey Hepburn's personal life; instead I got a very mechanical description of the productions she was involved in. On top of that, the author's language is extremely contorted and not easy to read at all. If you're interested in learning about Audrey's movies and you're a film producer, you would probably like this book. However, if you wanted a personal story about Audrey Hepburn the person, you may well be disappointed.
