Описание: Eliza Doolittle, Holly Golightly, Sabrina Fairchild-these character names immediately bring to mind the elfin charms of one of the most beautiful actresses stage and screen have ever seen: Audrey Hepburn, whose talent and work for UNICEF showed that she had more than beauty to offer.
Nearly two decades after her final film appearance, film star, style icon, and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn continues to captivate the world with her beauty, grace, image, and activism. She was one of the most successful and popular actress in the world, and shared the screen with the greatest leading men in Hollywood, from Gregory Peck to Cary Grant. Her beauty charmed audiences, conveying a delicate strength in all her best roles. She remains a symbol of fashion, and the "Audrey" look-hairstyles, gowns, suits-is as popular today as during her life.
She was also one of the first activist stars as the public face of UNICEF for over twenty years. Yet her life was not a complete fairy tale. She endured early life in Nazi-occupied Netherlands, and saw many children her own age shipped off to concentration camps. She suffered miscarriages and failed marriages, yet throughout maintained her grace and dignity as a public figure. This book explores her amazing life, with a special focus on her iconic films and fashion styles. Through discussions of her film and charity work, reminiscences from friends and collaborators, and photographs of her various looks over the years, this book reveals the woman and the icon.

Описание:
A vibrant portrait of one of the most accomplished and prolific American screenwriters, by an award-winning biographer and essayist
He was, according to Pauline Kael, "the greatest American screenwriter." Jean-Luc Godard called him "a genius" who "invented 80 percent of what is used in Hollywood movies today." Besides tossing off dozens of now-classic scripts--including Scarface, Twentieth Century, and Notorious--Ben Hecht was known in his day as ace reporter, celebrated playwright, taboo-busting novelist, and the most quick-witted of provocateurs. During World War II, he also emerged as an outspoken crusader for the imperiled Jews of Europe, and later he became a fierce propagandist for pre-1948 Palestine's Jewish terrorist underground. Whatever the outrage he stirred, this self-declared "child of the century" came to embody much that defined America--especially Jewish America--in his time.
Hecht's fame has dimmed with the decades, but Adina Hoffman's vivid portrait brings this charismatic and contradictory figure back to life on the page. Hecht was a renaissance man of dazzling sorts, and Hoffman--critically acclaimed biographer, former film critic, and eloquent commentator on Middle Eastern culture and politics--is uniquely suited to capture him in all his modes.
