A graphic novel biography of actor, humanitarian, and style icon Audrey Hepburn-best known for Breakfast at Tiffany's and one of the most enduring and beloved celebrities of the 20th century
Author Eileen Hofer and illustrator Christopher Longé peel back the myth of Audrey Hepburn in this graphic novel exploring the life behind her legacy.
From the trauma of abandonment and war to her dizzying rise to stardom and her commitment to charity work in her retirement, Hofer and Christopher show Hepburn as she was-and how she came by the strength and grace that made her so much more than a movie star.
Born into privilege, Audrey Hepburn lived an incredible riches-to-rags-to-riches life as her childhood was swiftly upended by World War II. During the course of her incredible career, she was a muse of Givenchy, only the third woman to win the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award), and an activist whose work for UNICEF earned her a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992.
Her inimitable charisma, deep empathy, and dedication to her craft built a lasting legacy-one that stands out among her peers during Hollywood's golden era.
Decades later, a cottage industry of books about how best to emulate her, a robot named Sophia that is based on her, and even a digital likeness (which was featured in an ad for Galaxy chocolate), all speak to her enduring legacy. Hepburn's skill as a performer and her magnetism won her generations of fans worldwide.
Her name is synonymous with elegance and a certain kind of movie stardom given the impeccable image she so carefully curated during her lifetime-an image which hid incredible resilience and strength.
