A portrait of class and elegance

I think that I may have previously mentioned that I love all things Audrey. She was such an amazing woman. She wasn't perfect but she still had the ability to inspire.



I received this book as a Christmas gift one year. It is written by one of Audrey's sons, Sean Ferrer. It includes so many poignant pictures. It tells her life story from the very beginning to the very end - from a bad case of whooping cough at 6 weeks old that caused her to stop breathing, to her work with the resistance during World War II, through her extensive film career, to her work with UNICEF, on through her death and everything in between. She was such a remarkable woman. She truly was "An Elegant Spirit".
