The only official biography of the iconic figure of fashion and cinema, as well as humanitarian, Audrey Hepburn, includes her personal story, insights from her family about her philosophy of life, and an intimate glimpse into how she lived away from the spotlight.

Few celebrities from the past or present are as iconic as Audrey Hepburn. From her humble beginnings, growing up in the Netherlands and nearly dying from hardship while assisting the Dutch resistance during World War II, Hepburn became one of the greatest film stars in history. She is known for her work in classic and recognizable films such as "Roman Holiday," "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Charade," and "My Fair Lady," earning nearly every award in the industry, including the coveted EGOT title. Off-screen, she became a beloved public figure with her unique, trend-setting style, for which she also received awards. Later in her life, she became the most recognized Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF and was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her humanitarian work.

More than thirty years after her death, this inspiring and talented woman continues to be regarded as the epitome of style, elegance, and beauty. However, despite the publication of over 300 books about the phenomenon that was Audrey Hepburn, none have truly managed to explore the authentic nature of the woman who rose from the ruins of war to become a symbol of female emancipation, resilience, and authenticity. She is considered one of the greatest legends in the history of cinema and was much more than that. Her legacy of feminism and compassion is what would have made her proudest. The INTIMATE AUDREY will take the reader behind the camera to meet the real woman, the savior, as told by those who knew and loved her.
