A Romantic Biography of Audrey Hepburn and William Holden
Description
Here for the first time is the complete, captivating story of an on-set romance that turned into a lifelong love story between silver screen legends Audrey Hepburn and William Holden.

—Booklist
"I started to read the few opening pages and couldn't stop...this book was written so differently. It really showed the people underneath the layer of the Hollywood lights that scrutinized them for much of their lives...it's almost three biographies in one book --Audrey Hepburn, Bill Holden and the behind the scenes look at Hollywood... The writing is wonderful, the people come to life off the pages..."
