On Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn has withstood the test of time as an iconic figure from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Known for her film appearances and humanitarian efforts, there is much to study about her fascinating life, career, and legacy.

Steven Cohan’s On Audrey Hepburn: An Opinionated Guide is a well-written guide to Hepburn’s life, breaking her story into various stages. Cohan takes us through Hepburn’s story by way of her life, career, the “Audrey” films, fashion, thrillers, and generally examining her contributions as an actress. This multifaceted portrayal of Hepburn is also supplemented with beautiful color and black-and-white photographs from her time on and off-screen.

I highly recommend this book to fans of Hepburn, fashion, and classic cinema.


On Audrey Hepburn: An Opinionated Guide is available for purchase via Oxford University Press.
