Soon afterward, Hepburn was offered a role alongside Gregory Peck in \u003ci\u003eRoman Holiday\u003c\/i\u003e, for which she collected an Oscar for Best Actress. The book highlights all her success that followed: she won the Tony Award for Best Actress for \u003ci\u003eOndine\u003c\/i\u003e, captivated audiences as Natasha in \u003ci\u003eWar and Peace\u003c\/i\u003e, and was highly praised for her brilliance in a serious role in \u003ci\u003eThe Nun’s Story\u003c\/i\u003e. Hepburn’s style was perfection, and her clothes—many of them designed by Givenchy, who dressed her for \u003ci\u003eFunny Face\u003c\/i\u003e in 1957—placed her on the world’s Best-Dressed Women list for several consecutive years.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This photo-filled book celebrates the personality and sensuous yet untouchable beauty that made Audrey Hepburn irresistible.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “An affectionate study of an endearing star.” —\u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Arcade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134824005872,"sku":"9781628728538","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781628728538_p0.jpg?v=1763869874","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781628728538","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
