The front cover is a striking image captured by Jack Cardiff during the filming of "War And Peace". The photographs throughout the book are a mixture of black and white and colour - the majority are black and white. A foreward by Pim Baxter - the Acting Director of The National Portrait Gallery - shows how proud and excited the gallery was to host a collection of Audrey photographs - the book is based on that exhibition. An introduction by Audrey's son Luca Dotti reveals how happy he is the gallery have produced the exhibition, saying that it's policy of retracing history through portraits has reminded him of some of his mother's achievements. Then, Helen Trompeteler writes about Audrey "Becoming A Modern Icon" and how she became a star in the early 1950's with her energetic performance in "Roman Holiday". And right through to her memorable role in "Breakfast At Tiffany's" as a trend-setter in the 1960's. Trompeteler details a biography of Audrey, describing her trials and tribulations as a child growing up during World War Two, her early ballet career, her successful modelling work and her breakthrough into stage and movie roles. The long collaboration between Audrey and Hubert de Givenchy is detailed. As for the photographs themselves, the first section "Childhood And Early British Success" (1929-1952) shows many advertising photographs of Audrey, including Ciro's Club and Lacto-Calamine. Also, there are exciting early images from the covers of "The Dancing Times" and "ABC Film Review" publications. "American Stage And Film" (1951-1960) shows Audrey in costume and back-stage for her "Gigi" stage role. A cute and cheerful Irving Penn photograph of Audrey for "American Vogue" is one of the best in the book. Also, there is a great image of Audrey and Gregory Peck on The Spanish Steps whilst filming "Roman Holiday", and Mark Shaw's images of Audrey whilst filming "Sabrina" are captivating. Norman Parkinson's photograph of Audrey in a pink Givenchy dress at Rome's Villa Rolli during the filming of "War And Peace" is enchanting. The funniest image in the whole book is of Audrey with her fawn Ip in a Beverly Hills supermarket whilst filming "Ondine". "Film And Fashion Portraits" (1960's) include iconic images from "Breakfast At Tiffany's". There is a lively photograph from "Life" showing Audrey energetically dancing the twist with her husband Mel Ferrer, and, fantastic images of Audrey and Cary Grant in a publicity shot for "Charade" and an even better one of her with Peter O'Toole for "How To Steal A Million". Furthermore, Audrey cycling with her dog Assam in the front basket whilst on the set of "My Fair Lady" is fantastic. The final section of images "Legacy And Later Years" (1971-1993) has a great photograph of Audrey in a striking red outfit with Hubert de Givenchy, and endearing images of her UNICEF work. At the end, a chronology from Terence Pepper contains detailed information about the highlights of Audrey's life, and yet more images. And a "Further Reading" section contains many resources including books and magazine articles to examine. For all fans of Audrey Hepburn and for anyone interested in the fashion and movies of the 1950's and 1960's, this is a must-buy book.
