    About this ebook

    Audrey Hepburn has been on the spot light in Hollywood for many years during the time Marylin Monroe was alive. Audrey was charming the audience with variety of acting, dancing and signing skills. It all started in her childhood, where Audrey had a strong pull towards ballet. In fact, she has been a ballerina for a while before even thinking of acting or movies.

    Audrey Hepburn's life was not like most celebrities. She knew the war pretty well with all the misery, pain, suffering and hiding that comes with it. This kind of experience shaped her in a way to show compassion towards the unfortunate and I believe this is what made her participate in UNICEF later in her life. Audrey Hepburn even turned down offers for movie auditions that were related to the war in 1940s, because she knew what was like with tears in her eyes. She could not play a role like that.

    In this biography, you'll learn how Audrey Hepburn became successful, because she was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She had to go through trial and errors, from one audition to another to make it work. In fact, Audrey had a lot of disappointing roles in movies that were not revealing her true potential as an actress.

    You'll also learn in this book the messy and not quite perfect personal life of Audrey Hepburn with two divorces over the years and a lot of miscarriages. She has been involved in many love affairs, even when she was married. You'll also learn who Audrey's parents were like and how supportive they were for her. You'll see through her success, fame and tears when she was alive. Why critics loved her and how her professional career got in the way to live more balanced personal life.

    Audrey was a talent in a very interesting and twisted way. With charm, grace and style, Audrey conquered Hollywood and burned the hearts of so many men. If you want to learn MORE about Audrey Hepburn, grab this biography now!

    I love writing biographies about celebrities (dead or alive), because there's so much to learn from those people. Success leaves clues, so I study and write about successful people.

      Birth and Years in Belgium (1929-1935)

      Audrey Hepburn was not only an iconic film actress, but also a role model. Her life influenced women from all over the world.

      She invented a new ideal woman: mignon, thin, with short hair, wearing simple but very elegant clothes, hiding under a fragile constitution with a very powerful will.

      Her real name was Audrey Kathleen van Heemstra Ruston, she was born in Belgium, Brussels on May 4th, 1929. As we notice from her name, she came from a noble family. Her mother was a baroness Ella van Heemstra, part of the Dutch aristocracy.
