　　Her name is synonymous with elegance, style and grace. Over

the course of her extraordinary life and career, Audrey Hepburn

captured hearts around the world and created a public image that

stands as one of the most recognizable and beloved in recent

memory. But despite her international fame and her tireless efforts

on behalf of UNICEF, Audrey was also known for her intense privacy.

With unprecedented access to studio archives, friends and

colleagues who knew and loved Audrey, bestselling author Donald

Spoto provides an intimate and moving account of this beautiful,

elusive and talented woman.

Tracing her astonishing rise to stardom, from her harrowing

childhood in Nazi-controlled Holland during World War II to her

years as a struggling ballet dancer in London and her Tony

Award–winning Broadway debut in Gigi, Spoto illuminates the origins

of Audrey’s tenacious spirit and fiercely passionate nature.

She would go on to star in some of the most popular movies of the

twentieth century, including Roman Holiday, Sabrina, Funny Face,

The Nun’s Story, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and My Fair Lady. A friend

and inspiration to renowned designer Hubert de Givenchy, Audrey

emerged as a fashion icon as well as a film legend, her influence

on women’s fashion virtually unparalleled to this day.

But behind the glamorous public persona, Audrey Hepburn was both

a different and a deeper person and a woman who craved love and

affection. Donald Spoto offers remarkable insights into her

professional and personal relationships with her two husbands, and

with celebrities such as Gregory Peck, William Holden, Fred

Astaire, Gary Cooper, Robert Anderson, Cary Grant, Peter O’Toole,

Albert Finney and Ben Gazzara. The turbulent romances of her youth,

her profound sympathy for the plight of hungry children, and the

thrills and terrors of motherhood prepared Audrey for the final

chapter in her life, as she devoted herself entirely to the charity

efforts of an organization that had once come to her rescue at the

end of the war: UNICEF.

Donald Spoto has written a poignant, funny and deeply moving

biography of an unforgettable woman. At last, Enchantment reveals

the private Audrey Hepburn—and invites readers to fall in love with

her all over again.

“She was as funny as she was beautiful. She was a magical

combination of high chic and high spirits.” —Gregory Peck

“In spite of her fragile appearance, she’s like steel.” —Cary

Grant

“Audrey was known for something which has disappeared, and that

is elegance, grace and manners . . . God kissed her on the cheek,

and there she was.” —Billy Wilder

“There is not a woman alive who does not dream of looking like

Audrey Hepburn.” —Hubert de Givenchy

“Her magnetism was so extraordinary that everyone wanted to be

close to her. It was as if she placed a glass barrier between

herself and the world. You couldn’t get behind it easily. It made

her remarkably attractive.” —Stanley Donen

“She has authentic charm. Most people simply have nice manners.”

—Alfred Lunt
