Classic Beauty: 6 Stunning Collector’s Books For The Audrey Hepburn Fan

Most might recognize the dashing brunette from her notable role as the anomalous socialite Holly Golightly in 1961’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s, though the class act that was Audrey Hepburn was more than the woman behind the Jackie O  style sunglasses. Known much later in life for her dedication to various charitable organizations, such as UNICEF, the British actress led a life that may have seemed full of glamour, though, in fact, was quite more relatable than people realize. Learn more about Audrey’s life in these six commemorative books.

5. Audrey in Rome by Luca Dotti

Audrey actually took up shop in Rome for twenty years of her life and this collector’s book includes over 200 candid photos of the actress during her day to day life in the romantic city. Her son, Luca Dotti also took part as one of the editors in this book which I believe makes it all the more special.
