PARIS, BARRY — Audrey Hepburn

UK, Weidenfeld & Nicolson. 1997, 2nd Impression. Hardcover with dust jacket, 24 Cm. Book, review first >>> "Barry Paris has written the model of a movie biography, and very movingly" Daily Express. 454 crisp pp, just over a kilo, 2 photo sections, only fault is beginnings of a crease on dj, text block hunkydory. Really wonderful snaps of Hepburn complement this treasure of bio writing. With the insights of family and friends who never before spoke to a Hepburn biographer-and never-before-published photographs-Paris has created an in-depth portrait of the actress, from her childhood in Nazi-occupied Europe, through her legendary career, and into her UN ambassadorship. A charming, very personal review >>> My uncle once mockingly asked "Why do you want to read about her?". I said that I learned so much about this beautiful woman, her love for people and peace, and I think I am a better and more caring person as a result of this. Excellent/Good.
