Editorial Review:
"Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book and remembering— because you can’t take it all in at once."
—Audrey Hepburn
On many occasions, she was approached to pen her autobiography, the definitive book of Audrey Hepburn, yet she never agreed. A beloved icon who found success as an actress, a mother and an humanitarian, Audrey Hepburn perfected the art of gracious living.
More philosophy than biography, How to Be Lovely revisits the many interviews Audrey gave over the years, allowing us to hear her voice directly on universal topics of concern to women the world over: careers, love lives, motherhood and relationships. Enhanced by rarely seen photographs, behind-the-scenes stories, and insights from the friends who knew her well, How to Be Lovely uncovers the real Audrey, in her own words.
While she would have been the last to say so, Audrey Hepburn was an expert in the art of being a woman. How to Be Lovely imparts whatever wisdom and insight she found along the way to the millions who grew up, or will grow up, wanting to be just like her.
Published to coincide with Audrey Hepburn’s would-be seventy-fifth birthday, How to Be Lovely offers a rare glimpse into the woman behind the mystique and the definitive guide to living genuinely with glamour and grace.
How to Be Lovely: The Audrey Hepburn Way of Life Reviews:
wonderful 
2009-12-07 - It was a pleasant read. It is the type of book to be able to pick up, read for a minute, come back to for a moment...enjoyable.
A delightful look at a really classy lady 
2009-10-31 - We just don't have movie stars like Audrey Hepburn anymore. This book is divided into ten chapters of headings that showcase her words. You can find quotes on happiness, success, health, love, family, friendship, fulfillment, style, fame and humanity. She was a very private person and reading her words you'll find you feel a bit closer to the woman that was Audrey, yet she still retains her aloofness and mystique.
Lovely book 
2008-12-29 - I really enjoyed this book. I'm a huge Audrey Hepburn fan and I loved how it was an easy read and a lot of fun information. I love collecting quotes from books I read and there are tons of great ones in this book. If you are a fan of hers or buying for a fan....You can't go wrong with this.
Great Gift Book
