Lately I
have been into reading biographies and autobiographies about people who lived
between the 1920s-1960s, mainly because that is my favorite time period in
American history. Audrey Hepburn was such an iconic person back in her day and
remains one even till this day. I love watching her movies and learning more
about her life. She overcame so much growing up and always seemed to have
others well being in mind.
Audrey
Hepburn ran into bumps along the way – growing up during a time of war and
starvation, being told she was too tall to be a ballerina, and later her
persistence to break into an acting career. Audrey Hepburn is a flawless fashion
icon, but also someone to look to as an example to see how far a positive attitude,
hard work, and perseverance will take you in life.
Enchantmentby Donald Spoto, traces Audrey Hepburn’s rise to stardom from her childhood in
Nazi-controlled Holland during World War II all the way to Award-winning
career. Spoto is able to portray to his reader the type of person Hepburn was
off the screen – a very deep person, who craved love and affection, and was
able to give back on a meaningful emotional level. He gives insight into her
relationships with her two husbands, children, work relationships, and the
relationship she had with her many animals.
Enchantment
is written in an entering, funny, yet moving way. It is an unforgettable
biography about an unforgettable woman. A book a highly recommend. By the end
of this biography you will have fallen in love with Audrey Hepburn all over
again.
Really nice post.
