I had a look through it at the time it’s a most beautifully put together scrap book of momentous occasions, complete with copies of theatre tickets and other documents tucked inside but now it’s with all my other belongings in New York so I got this one out of the library to keep me going.I had read that Audrey’s eldest son had written a book although admittedly it is at least half filled with the most gorgeous family photos. The spine remains undamaged.Oh Audrey! What an impact you had on the world.This is not my first Audrey book the last one that came out came to me as a much wanted birthday present a couple of years ago. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Sean Ferrer wanted to make this an enduring tribute to his mother.
There have of course been a number of books about Audrey Hepburn, it is a tribute to her fame and stature that each one has been successful. Intimate and inspiring, AN ELEGANT SPIRIT is an illustrated memoir of the woman the world adored, by the son who adored her and was adored by her. This is the story of her life from her childhood during WWII, to Hollywood, to her work for the United Nations. In this beautiful memoir, her son, Sean Ferrer, remembers their life together. She considered her most important role to be wife and mother. Audrey Hepburn was more than a movie star, more than a style icon.
When she died from colon cancer in 1993, the loss was felt all over the world. Her warmth and grace, both onscreen and off endeared her to millions and her humanitarian efforts made her a role model to countless more. Audrey Hepburn was loved by millions of movie fans and she reflected that love back on her audience.
