On Audrey Hepburn: An Opionated Guide

Why should Audrey Hepburn matter today? This lively and engaging book revises the contemporary view of Hepburn that sees her primarily as a fashion icon and style guru, frozen in images from Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady. Author Steven Cohan argues that her films, more than her biography or her likeness in stock images and magazine photos, are essential to understanding both her importance as one of the all-time major stars to emerge in Hollywood after World War II and her lasting fame in the 21st century.

On Audrey Hepburn is an entertaining and insightful guide to this star through her films, reminding readers why she was so immediately popular after her breakout roles in Roman Holiday and Sabrina, why she had such a crucial influence on women's fashions, and why she received so much acclaim and award recognition as an actress in the US and abroad.
