Audrey Hepburn. Life as Told by Herself. Confessions of Love

Although Audrey Hepburn began writing her memoirs after doctors gave her a terminal diagnosis, in this astonishingly bright book you won’t find complaints, bitterness, or curses toward an unforgiving fate—only a CONFESSION OF LOVE for people and for life. The most wonderful woman of all times and peoples, according to a «ELLE» magazine poll (and they considered not only external appearance, but also inner beauty), left the world as clean and luminous as she had lived, dedicating her last three months not to settling accounts, but to grateful memories of everyone she loved…

Her past was not cloudless—Audrey grew up without a father, survived the German occupation in childhood—but Hollywood dubbed her not for nothing “the Cinderella of Hollywood”: winning an «Oscar» for her first major role (Princess Anne in «Roman Holiday»), Hepburn won the love of moviegoers around the world with masterpieces like «Breakfast at Tiffany’s», «My Fair Lady», «How to Steal a Million», «War and Peace». Her final role was the angel in Steven Spielberg’s film, and her final words were: «They’re waiting for me… angels… to work on Earth…» For her main mission, Audrey Hepburn considered not film, but her work with UNICEF—an organization that helps children all over the world, for whom she became a true guardian angel. Later people even said that Audrey took other people’s pain too close to her heart, that this is what ruined her, triggering a fatal illness—yet she simply couldn’t have done otherwise…
