  • Music

    "I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it."

    Audrey Hepburn's Enchanted Tales: "The late screen legend Audrey Hepburn uses music from Maurice Ravel's "Mother Goose" as the framework for this production. Narrating the story portrayed by the background music, her performance, although intended for children, is that of an adult performing for adults. There are no exaggerated intonations or characterizations. What we hear is what one would expect from Hepburn: a dignified performance that is dainty with precise enunciation and fitting inflections. The music is apparent, but a nice complement to her fine voice."

    Breakfast at Tiffany's: Moon River and other music from the motion picture score.

  • Movies

    Roman Holiday: Audrey received the 1953 Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar for her portrayal of a princess who slips away from her handlers and spends a day with reporter Gregory Peck, falling in love, and seeing how the normal folks live in ‘Roman Holiday’ (1953).

    Breakfast at Tiffany's: In ‘Breakfast at Tiffany's’ (1961), Audrey plays party girl Holly Golightly, Truman Capote's prevaricating heroine who has forgotten her past to create a more interesting present. Golightly befriends her neighbor, an aspiring writer, while searching for a rich, older man to marry. Quirky and sweet, Breakfast at Tiffany’s warms the heart and provides the ultimate solution for “the mean reds.”

    Sabrina: In ‘Sabrina’ (1954), Audrey ideally plays the chauffeur's ughter who returns from Paris transformed--and attracting the attention of a pair of wealthy brothers: playboy illiam Holden and stuffy Humphrey Bogart.

    "If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all." - Audrey Hepburn

    The Audrey Hepburn Treasures - Brand new book from the Hepburn Estate containing interviews, memories, unseen family photos, and beautifully reproduced replicas of Hepburn memorabilia -- "a dazzling celebration of an extraordinary human being, that offers fans an intimate and revealing portrait of the woman they admire and adore."

    The Book of Faces: Audrey Hepburn is the ultimate inspiration to Joseph Campana in his poetry collection The Book of Faces -- a fascinating read and the perfect gift for any literary Audrey Hepburn fan! Poems include Pattern of Beauty, How to Be a Star, Breakfast, First Role (Cigarette Girl), Eurydice in Rome, and Last Love.

    Enchantment: The Life of Audrey Hepburn: "Unlike so many biographies, this one is not simply a recitation of the subject's accomplishments. Donald Spoto digs beneath the surface, giving readers strong images of both actress and woman, and he does so in way that is, like Audrey Hepburn, quite elegant."

    An Elegant Spirit: A Son Remembers: Sean Hepburn Ferrer offers an intimate glimpse into the life of his mother. In this emotional and candid memoir, Sean tells his mother's remarkable story. It is a rare look at Audrey not from the photographer's lens, but through the eyes of the son who adored her.

OTHER AUDREY HEPBURN FANS!



"People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and say 'I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference." - Audrey Hepburn
