Audrey Hepburn: an angel with sad eyes

The name Audrey Hepburn has long become synonymous with elegance and good taste: her heroines are admired, people want to be like her, and the films she starred in are included in the lists of the best films of the... 20th century. But in reality, the life of the screen star was far from perfect. World War II. Hunger. Death of loved ones. Audrey Hepburn experienced too much suffering from childhood. And although she quickly becomes a star in cinema and wins an Oscar for the film 'Roman Holiday' at just twenty-four years old, her personal life is plagued by failures: numerous attempts to have a child fail, marriages break down, and her work as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF does not allow her to detect a deadly illness in time. But no matter what happens, Audrey never loses hope. And this comic, based on interviews with people who knew the actress personally, and on books and articles written about her, tells the story of her fate as it was: complicated, tragic – but incredibly beautiful.
