Imogen A. Rose
Audrey Hepburn BEYOND THE ICON

She had an undeniable and extraordinary impact upon the world, especially in film and fashion, and to this day Audrey Hepburn remains one of the most iconic symbols of elegance, dignity and style.

In Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Sabrina, Roman Holiday, Funny Face or the countless breathtaking Givenchy designs, she provided the fashion template for so many stars and styles.

And then, of course, there were her distinct, defining hairstyles – the sweeping updo or the perfect pixie cut that magnified her exquisite face. Such was the extent of her influence that, chances are, even those who have not seen an Audrey Hepburn film would recognise her image instantly.

But behind her fashion and film persona, what was Audrey Hepburn really like? The star’s younger son, Luca Dotti, along with her dear friend and UNICEF colleague Christa Roth, share rare and exclusive insight into the woman beyond the star.

An intensely private person, Luca is warm, sincere and determined to make a difference. He lives in Rome with his wife and three children.

As a child, he boldly challenged journalists who were unrelentingly questioning him about being the son of Audrey Hepburn with the retort: “You are mistaken. I am the son of Mrs. Dotti!” It was a telling remark, for one detects the same sentiment today when he says: “Sometimes you just wish your mother was the one you knew, which was enough.”
