Audrey Hepburn, the angel who fell to earth. Everyone will remember her graceful demeanor and fawn-like eyes. She seems to be born so beautiful, quiet, and charming as a fairy.
However, the birth of Miyu has also undergone a harsh tempering - if you have read such a biography, you may have a different understanding of such a good woman, and every angel may have seen hell to know what love is.
Regarding Hepburn, it seems that we all know a little bit of her story, but the first time I can read it more systematically, it is quite attractive (I think the author is also in line with the reading habits of modern people, the only thing missing may be that the photos are almost non-existent, which may involve copyright protection).
Hepburn's origin is actually very noble, her mother is a baron in the Netherlands, but after reading their stories, she really feels that the aristocratic spirit is not something like money or artistic taste, but more of a calm, strong, brave and wise in times of crisis.
When Hepburn was 13 years old, he was followed and interrogated by German soldiers in order to contact a wounded Allied paratrooper, and finally escaped with his wit and bravery.
It was like the story of Zhang Ga, a small soldier, not a movie, but her own experience. Also because she witnessed the cruelty and horror of the war, she planted the genes of care and kindness from her bones, in order to survive the "external scenery and inner ups and downs" in the following decades.
As a female star, the emotional life must be the most concerned by the public, not to mention a beauty who can be called an angel in the world and is known for her kindness and innocence.

Apart from her legal husband in two marriages, Hepburn's most popular gossip was Gregory Pike and Givenchy.
It is said that after Audrey's death, the 77-year-old Parker flew from the United States to Switzerland to see her for the last time. At the funeral, he offered her his favorite flowers, kissed her coffin affectionately, and choked up, saying, "You said the most beloved woman of my life." Goodbye, My Royal Highness the Princess. ”
As for Givenchy, in addition to Audrey's lifelong styling consultant and close friend, his lifelong unmarried state is also considered to be a unilateral expression of love loyalty to Hepburn.

However, how many feelings in the world, whether vast as the sea or silent as gold, are deep and self-aware, and the parties themselves may not know the definite answer in their own hearts.
However, such a beautiful feeling, after all, can give people a lifetime of emotional support, which is really valuable.
Because of the divorce of his parents and the trauma of war, Hepburn's desire for marriage and children is extraordinary. Having a fulfilling family was almost a lifelong dream for her subconsciously. But marriage never really made her realize that dream.

But the love of an angel is not only stingy to a lover, a family member, or a friend? She volunteered to become a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, even visiting the treacherous Somalia to bring a ray of hope to her children.
No wonder Elizabeth Taylor said this after Hepburn's death:
Our angels have returned to heaven, and now God has one of the most beautiful angels.
Leaving aside the story about Hepburn, there is a very special thing about the book "Audrey Hepburn: A Lifetime of Grace", that is, the author's writing rules, almost all of which begin with famous quotes, the story as the main line, and end with a chicken soup summary that is not too long, so there are many golden sentences in the book.
I would rather recommend that young girls read it (especially those struggling to write), because no amount of chicken soup is too much to read anyway, but the skill and spiritual things they can gain from it may be worth the money.
