Audrey Hepburn dismissed her own looks, claiming she never expected to succeed in movies with her face. History proved her spectacularly wrong. This collection brings together the work of six photographers who documented the beloved star throughout her career. Norman Parkinson, Milton H. Greene, Douglas Kirkland, Lawrence Fried, Terry O'Neill and Eva Sereny each captured different phases of Hepburn's life and work. Terence Pepper, former Curator of Photographs for the National Portrait Gallery, contributes vintage press prints from his personal collection. Three of the photographers share their direct memories of working with Hepburn. The book combines on-set photography, fashion shoots, formal portraits and candid behind-the-scenes moments. Readers will find contact sheets and previously unpublished images alongside the familiar shots. Patricia Bosworth provides the foreword while Terence Pepper writes the introduction. The result offers Hepburn admirers an intimate look at one of cinema's most recognizable faces.
