The book also contains set photographs of the films she made during her Rome years (Roman Holiday, War and Peace, The Nun's Story, Breakfast at Tiffany's) and of the famous clothes and accessories that helped create her iconic look.

Synopsis Little Book of Audrey Hepburn in the Movies by : Timothy Knight

In the 60 years since Roman Holiday transformed the ex-ballerina into a superstar, Audrey Hepburn has inspired the kind of mass adoration usually reserved for deities. If anything, the cult of Hepburn has grown exponentially since her death in 1993. She is probably Hollywood's most beloved star, revered for her humanitarian work as well has her film career and innate style. By all accounts modest and self-effacing, Hepburn never bought into her own myth. There are no stories of diva-like histrionics or drunken benders in the scores of books, articles and Internet fan sites that exhaustively chronicle her life and career. In the rarefied and pampered world of Hollywood, where every whim is indulged and bad behaviour excused as "artistic temperament," Hepburn was a gracious anomaly. Granted, Hepburn didn't inspire every film critic to wax rhapsodic about her dramatic abilities. In the 1950s, a few critics rashly dismissed her as more of a model than a bona-fide actress. And while Hepburn may not be a screen chameleon like Meryl Streep, or classically trained like Vanessa Redgrave, she is nonetheless an instinctively gifted actress of great delicacy and heartbreaking vulnerability. Above all, she is a star of peerless radiance and irresistible charm that sets her apart from every actress in Hollywood history. Simply put, Hepburn is sui generis: a singular talent whose essence cannot be duplicated, no matter how many actresses try to evoke her. Audrey Hepburn - In The Movies is a celebration of this extraordinary star who occupies a unique place in the hearts and minds of moviegoers worldwide.

Synopsis The Little Book of Zingers by : Pauline Bickford-Duane

You know Mark Twain, creator of the long-beloved characters Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, but have you heard what he said about Jane Austen? The Little Book of Zingers will feature the greatest comebacks and one-liners of all time, uttered by the iconic men and women we know and love (or love to hate)! Every generation sees its fair share of geniuses: men and women who possess boundless intellect and are capable of incredible insight. Søren Kierkegaard was such a man. Widely considered the father of existential philosophy, Kierkegaard uttered such profundities as: If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe. But on one truly momentous occasion, Kierkegaard made one confident and succinct statement that shook the earth: My opponent is a glob of snot. Kierkegaard spoke of Hans Martensen, an academic with whom he'd had a fair share of disagreements. The two often went toe-to-toe in scholarly debate, but with this dynamite zinger, Kierkegaard ended all further discussion. After all, who expects to be called a glob of snot? There's no coming back from that. The Little Book of Zingers will explore the rich depths of crushingly hilarious salt-in-the-wound one-liners you've never heard that'll make you gasp at their audacity. From the Age of Enlightenment to the Roaring Twenties to the boogie-down seventies, The Little Book of Zingers will take readers on a journey through some of history's greatest burns, spoken by the men and women who shaped the world.
