This is the most detailed and comprehensive book about Hepburn that I have read, and I have read at least two about her life before.
The rarely seen pictures and the depictions of the socio-cultural aspects of eras of her life were great.
Thank you NetGalley, Tom Santopietro, and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! This is a beautiful book that discusses Audrey’s’ life while including lesser known details. I’ve always been interested in her because of her movies, but also because of how classy and beautiful she was. I even named my first car in high school Audrey in honor of her haha. As a fan, I really enjoyed this one, and I recommend it to people looking to learn more about this amazing woman. I bet the physical copy will be even more stunning when it releases.
I received a free copy of, Audrey Hepburn, by Tom Santopietro, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is a book about the late great Audrey Hepburn, actress and activist, she was an amazing women, I really enjoyed learning about her.
I was so excited to read this book upon receiving an ARC of it because I love Audrey Hepburn and have always been such a huge fan of all of her movies. The cover immediately caught my attention as it features a huge picture of Audrey on it wearing a beautiful dress. I have never read a biography about Audrey Hepburn before but I was impressed with this book after reading it. The author seemed very well informed of different aspects of Audrey Hepburn's life, including her early childhood and her life before becoming a famous actress in Hollywood. I feel like I learned so much about Audrey's life that I did not know about before and it seems like the book is very well researched. My favorite parts of the novel were when the author discussed the making of Audrey's different films across her Hollywood career, and the various relationships she was a part of throughout her adult life. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about Audrey Hepburn's life.
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
As a huge Audrey Hepburn fan, I can't wait to see the physical copy.
The book delves into Audrey's personal and professional life, including details I didn't know before.
I really enjoyed it!
To be honest I rarely read biographies, but have always admired Audrey Hepburn, both in her volunteering and movies, so decided to give this a go. Touches on many things I already knew, but went so much deeper. Like reading what her children remembered, and others that worked with her throughout the years. Highly recommend this one, and will add more to the stories when I re-watch her movies.
Love Audrey Hepburn and everything about her. This beautiful book captures her essence and is perfect for a fan.
Audrey Hepburn wasn’t just a star—she was a phenomenon, and Audrey Hepburn: A Beautiful Uncertainty dives right into what made her unforgettable. From her time on the big screen to her humanitarian efforts, this book captures every dazzling facet of Audrey’s life.
Tom Santopietro weaves together rare stories, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and gorgeous photos to give us a deeper look at the woman behind the iconic style. Whether it’s her dance magic with Fred Astaire in Funny Face, her trailblazing fashion partnership with Givenchy, or her off-screen moments as a mom and UNICEF ambassador, this book covers it all.
What I loved most? It doesn’t shy away from her self-doubt and complexities. Audrey’s grace wasn’t just about her clothes—it was in how she carried herself through life’s highs and lows. Add in insightful commentary on her style and how she inspired everyone from Jackie O to today’s fashionistas, and you’ve got a tribute as timeless as Audrey herself.
If you’re a fan of Old Hollywood glam, fashion, or just Audrey Hepburn’s incomparable magic, this book is a must-have. It’s like a love letter to an icon who continues to inspire, long after the final curtain call.
