Audrey Hepburn: In Words and Pictures Reviews


  • Carlos De Eguiluz

    El constante recuerdo de Hepburn radica en la premisa de que ella era mucho más que una cara bonita. Ella era humana, y ahí, en sus altos y bajos, radicaba su perfección.

    Audrey Hepburn, la viva imagen de lo que representa la belleza, los buenos modales y el incesante altruismo.

    Adorable, elegante, hermosa y exitosa. Yo la admiro en demasía.

  • Becca Clark

    Very nice quick read. Wonderful pictures. Some of the narrative is repetitive but that is probably due to my reading cover to cover in one day. If you want to just pick and choose the pages you would need background restated. Overall, I enjoyed it and would recommend this book to others. I am going to pass it on to my mother.

    Audrey ha sido mi actriz favorita desde que conocí su repertorio de películas, pero mi admiración por ella va más allá de la pantalla. Sus acciones humanitarias y su sencillez fueron lo que realmente atrajo mi atención, como persona es y será un modelo a seguir. Podría leer mil libros sobre su vida, desde que sobrevivió a la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta su trabajo como embajadora como UNICEF y siempre tendría algo nuevo que aprenderle!
