Nothing could be further from the truth. As one of the 20th century's most loved icons, her face is instantly recognizable the world over. Here, for the first time, ACC Art Books and Iconic Images proudly present the work of six wonderful photographers - Norman Parkinson, Milton H.

In addition, former Curator of Photographs for the National Portrait Gallery and co-curator of the Audrey Hepburn: Portraits of an Icon exhibition, Terence Pepper, opens up his personal archive of vintage press prints, making this ode to Hepburn truly unique. Throughout the book, Douglas Kirkland, Terry O'Neill and Eva Sereny share their memories of working with the icon.

With an introduction by Terence Pepper, Always Audrey is sure to delight any Hepburn fan.
Always Audrey: Six Iconic Photographers. One Legendary Star. Reviews
-
Although I love this book enough to give it five stars, it's size was daunting, which made reading it very difficult. It's a very large noom; too heavy to hold in your hands, so I ended up laying it on my bed and thumbing through the pictures. It is disappointing that this book was made to be so bulky, but the real treasures lie inside.
Hundreds of photos in chronological order, most that I'd never seen before. All are incredibly beautiful. If you can handle its daunting size, this is a must read for every Audrey Hepburn fan! -
It's nice to read about some of the amazing photographers who shot all these jaw dropping photos of cinema's most photographed leading lady.
