In this first major study of the life of Audrey Hepburn, Ian Woodward uncovers the truly sensational story of one of Hollywood's most enduring legends.
Born into the Dutch aristocracy, Audrey Hepburn lived a fairy-tale existence until the outbreak of World War II when her father, a Nazi sympathiser, abandoned his wife and children. Having risked her life for the Dutch resistance movement, she fled to England to train as a dancer.
But even her illustrious film career paled against the outstanding work she did for UNICEF. Despite her personal fight against cancer, she dedicated the last years of her life to bringing help and hope to the starving children of the world.
Audrey Hepburn became more than a movie star. She became a legend, first on the screen - and then on the arid plains of Africa.
