Description
Growing up with Audrey Hepburn is the first full-length academic study of one of the most loved stars of Hollywood cinema. A study of both Hepburn's star persona and films, it is also an audience study, using interviews to explore accounts given by British women who have admired her in the 1950s and 1960s, and, more recently, in the 1990s.
