Audrey Hepburn. A Life Told by Herself

Although Audrey Hepburn began writing her memoirs after doctors diagnosed her with a terminal illness, in this remarkably bright book you will find no complaints, bitterness, or curses at a relentless fate—only a CONFESSION OF LOVE for people and life.
The most beautiful woman of all time according to a poll by "ELLE" magazine (which considered not only external data but also inner beauty) left this world as purely and brightly as she lived, dedicating her last three months not to settling scores, but to grateful memories of all those she loved...
Her past was not without its clouds—Audrey grew up without a father, having experienced the German occupation in her childhood—but she was not accidentally dubbed the "Cinderella of Hollywood": winning an "Oscar" for her very first major role (as Princess Anne in "Roman Holiday"), Hepburn won the love of movie audiences worldwide with such masterpieces as "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "My Fair Lady," "How to Steal a Million," and "War and Peace." Her last role was that of an angel in a Steven Spielberg film, and her last words were: "They are waiting for me... the angels... to work on earth..." For Audrey Hepburn, the main work of her life was not cinema, but her efforts with UNICEF—the organization that helps children around the world, for whom she became a true guardian angel. Later, it was said that Audrey took others' pain too close to her heart, and that it ultimately led to her demise, provoking her fatal illness—but she simply could not act otherwise...
