review 1: As a Hepburn fan, I loved this personal look at Audrey as written by her son. The pictures are fun although small and none in color. I never realized that nearly her entire career she lived and enveloped the Roman life. There is very little Hollywood in this girl, contrary to my belief. Quick read focusing primarily on her style. One thing that stood out to me was the difference in her two marriages. With her first husband, Mel Ferrer, she looks so in love for years and years... Their affection transcends the pages. Yet when you look at pictures with her second husband, Andrea Dotti, you see no tenderness, no smiles, no affection... Nothing... At times not even tolerance. I thought that was funny since the author was the son of this second marriage. Couldn'... moret he find better pictures where his parents look happy? Just makes me wonder what happened to her relationship with Ferrer.
review 2: A book about my favorite actress in one of my favorite cities. What a disappointment. Black and white photos usually captioned "Audrey with (insert name of husband #1 or husband #2)". If one squints Rome is hovering in the background...but for the most part the book could have been titled AUDREY IN CLEVELAND and not many would have noticed much of a difference. So glad this book came to me via the library rather than investing in such a pathetic offering. less
