Introduction by Luca Dotti A gorgeous, sophisticated book that
captures Audrey Hepburn’s lifelong connection to the City of
Light, featuring all of the places in Paris she loved most, and
illustrated with vivid photographs and never-before-published
stories about her films, family, friendships, photoshoots, and
fashions. One of the world’s most iconic actresses and one of the
world’s most iconic cities together in one extraordinary volume.
There has always been a special connection between Audrey Hepburn
and Paris. In Audrey in Paris, Audrey’s son Luca Dotti, and
Meghan Friedlander, curator of the fan site Rare Audrey Hepburn,
offer a unique look at the legendary actress’s life and love
affair with the City of Light. Paris’ influence on Audrey is
visible in everything from her films to her fashion choices to the
friendships she cherished. Through rare or never-before-published
photographs, quotes, and anecdotes, this intimate book offers an
intriguing portrait of the star in all her many facets—from the
roles she played in films to her roles as devoted mother, doting
pet owner, avid gardener, and devoted humanitarian, all played out
against the backdrop of this special place that was ever present in
her memories. Audrey in Paris gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse
of her life there—capturing her favorite sights, sounds, and
shops, always with a characteristic sense of charm, glamour, and
joie de vivre that is perfectly Parisian. Each chapter focuses on a
different aspect of Paris that made it so precious to Audrey, from
famous films, chic couture, fabled photoshoots, and elegant events
to the quieter moments with family and friends rarely seen by the
public, including her friendship with her close companion and go-to
designer Hubert de Givenchy. Illustrated with 200 full-color and
black-and-white photographs, packed with tender, funny, and
glamorous personal stories told by Audrey and those who knew her
best, Audrey in Paris reveals this beloved star as never
before—and pays homage to the city that shaped so much of
Audrey’s life, through Audrey’s eyes.Â
