'Intimate Audrey' comes from someone who knew Hepburn best
The memoir says Hepburn kept the habit after World War II and offers first-hand recollections from a close friend who knew her well.
Actress Audrey Hepburn maintained a lifelong habit of consuming one piece of chocolate every afternoon, a 'bittersweet' tradition she formed at the end of World War II.
Following the hardships of World War II, Hepburn developed this ritual after surviving on a watery broth of flour and tulip bulbs during the occupation of the Netherlands.
Despite her fame, Hepburn possessed a 'truly gentle heart' and simple desires, often sketching clothing designs or enjoying quiet moments away from the spotlight.
Her son's newly published memoir reveals these intimate details, disclosing the genuine kindness that endeared Hepburn to millions of devoted admirers worldwide.
Hepburn remains a timeless icon whose legacy continues to resonate, as the memoir thoughtfully expresses her lasting human impact and enduring spirit.
