Una obra que cuenta con el valor añadido de mas de cien fotografias, anecdotas entre bastidores e impresiones de sus amigos mas intimos./""Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book and remembering because you cant take it all in at once.""Audrey Hepburn. On many occasions, she was approached to pen her autobiography, the definitive book of Audrey Hepburn, yet she never agreed. A beloved icon who found success as an actress, a mother and an humanitarian, Audrey Hepburn perfected the art of gracious living. More philosophy than biography, How to Be Lovely revisits the many interviews Audrey gave over the years, allowing us to hear her voice directly on universal topics of concern to women the world over: careers, love lives, motherhood and relationships. Enhanced by rarely seen photographs, behind-the-scenes stories, and insights from the friends who knew her well, How to Be Lovely uncovers the real Audrey, in her own words. While she would have been the last to say so, Audrey Hepburn was an expert in the art of being a woman. How to Be Lovely imparts whatever wisdom and insight she found along the way to the millions who grew up, or will grow up, wanting to be just like her. Published to coincide with Audrey Hepburns would-be seventy-fifth birthday, How to Be Lovely offers a rare glimpse into the woman behind the mystique and the definitive guide to living genuinely with glamour and grace. ...

I give ita thumbs-up (slowly but surely).
This book was definitely well-written, but some of the parts in this book were too discriptive and drawn-out. I thought that it was very informative as to the life of Audrey Hepburn and it explains everything well. As I said before, it should have been shorter, so that the reader would want to turn each page and be very interested in everything read.

Audrey
This book was compelling, interesting, and extremely helpful on finding things about Audrey Hepburn. It was exciting, and you never wanted to put the book down. Charles Higham really captured the life of Audrey and put it in this novel.I enjoyed reading it, and pass it on to others. It was a definite page turner with intricate detail on the life of Audrey. ... Read more

Beautiful Photographs, Misinformed Words
The photographs of Audrey Hepburn are (of course) beautiful, but the text accompanying them lacks both beauty and integrity. Factual errors appear from beginning to end - starting with Audrey's birthname and ending with her burial site (she was born Audrey Kathleen Ruston, not Edda Hepburn, and buried in the cemetery in the Swiss town where she lived, not on her own property there - see son Sean Ferrer's book for accurate facts). The sad facts of Audrey Hepburn's life were also exaggerated in the text, as if her charm and elegance are not interesting enough. By all accounts, people who knew Audrey, however, never had a negative word to speak of her. While the photographs in this book do justice for Audrey Hepburn's beauty, the inaccurate and poorly written text is disappointing.

A Picture Is Worth many Words
Audrey Hepburn: A Life in Pictures (Life in Pictures) is just that, a documentation in photographs of this well remembered actress. I enjoy this book from time by just opening it and glancing at the pictures. Some people really capture our hearts. Audrey Hepburn was one of those people.

A portrait of the woman who identified style and beauty!
Whenever I think of style, beauty and grace, I think of Audrey Hepburn. Even after her death, she is still the epitome of glamour and sophistication. In this book you get a brief bio complete with some beautiful photographs of the legendary actress. There are photographs of some of her best films -- Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, etc. -- and intimate portraits with her family. This is a great collector's item that every Audrey Hepburn fan should own.

The epitome of style and grace
This is an absolutely beautiful collection of photos of the most mesmerizing women ever to grace the silver screen.After watching "Roman Holiday" I found myself wanting to know everything there is to know about the princess whose style and charm could steal any man's heart.I found this to be a great introduction to Hepburn, an excellent overview of her life and movies.The classic photos of "Roman Holiday" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" alone make this a priceless addition to any fan's bookshelf. ...

THE ESSENTIAL AUDREY HEPBURN PICTURE BOOK
One of the rarest and most difficult to find of books on Audrey Hepburn also happens to be one of the very best. Published in a limited run for a series of exhibits for Salvatorre Ferragamo, beginning in Italy and reaching as far as Australia, this book is worth every bit of effort you can muster to locate it. The book offers over 200 pages of dazzling, mostly never before seen photographs. They range from studio shots to film stills to candid shots. The publication aims to present Miss Hepburn's beauty physically, but also succeeds in showing her true, inner beauty with a very intelligent, well put-together text. Aside from the usual biography and filmography are various writings by the people who knew her best. The preface by her son Sean Ferrer sets up the book quite nicely. I could get very technical with descriptions and offer a more serious critique, but I feel that it is not necessary with this book. The book is very inspired and wonderfully edited by Stefania Ricci, but its strength lies in the beautiful pictures of one of the most beautiful women in history. It's all about the pictures with this one. If you are an Audrey Hepburn fan, this is an ESSENTIAL addition to your collection. FIND IT IF YOU CAN.
