baby.giraffe Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've been a fan for years and about 90% of my DVD collection must be made up of her films but I've never read a biography. Can anyone recommend a good one? I find them a very hard genre to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC_Em Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Audrey is my absolute idol! The best book I've read is written by her son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer and is called An Elegant Spirit. I love it, because it's such an intimate portrait of Audrey, with many never-before-seen pictures and anecdotes from Sean about growing up with a Hollywood icon as his mother! I think it's published by Sidgewick & Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I was also going to suggest her son's book. I adore Audrey - she's one of my all time favourites. I've read a few biographies; her son's is the best and probably the most trustworthy, but there are some great ones out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby.giraffe Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thank you so much for your replies, thats really helped. I like the word "trustworthy". Its so hard to know if what you are reading is correct. I don't tend to read biographies much for that reason. It sounds like a wonderful book I will be sure to hunt that one out first. Also great to find some other Audrey fans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same, I love, love, love Audrey and the biog I enjoyed most was her son Sean's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby.giraffe Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Giggle I'm starting to think maybe I should have heard of this book. I think its now top of my "to get list". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melisa Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I quite enjoyed Audrey Hepburn: A Biography by Barry Paris. I read it quite a while back but it's the one I remember as being good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC_Em Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ooh, I've not read that one, but I might seek it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
