‘Intimate Audrey’ is akin to a film brought to life—according to Sean Hepburn Ferrer
Behind the glitz and glamour, behind the fame and virality, Audrey Kathleen Hepburn was first and foremost a woman. A mother. She was born in Belgium and grew up in England—then moved to the Netherlands at the onset of World War II. During her early 20s, she studied acting and worked as a model and dancer, and then caught the eye of French novelist Colette, who insisted that she be cast in the 1944 play Gigi. The rest is history. This, the story of her life, is the focus of Intimate Audrey.
Catch a glimpse of what Audrey Hepburn was really like in real life.
