Audrey Hepburn is an actress who is the embodiment of style and the essence of grace. Behind the movie star face was a beautiful and down to earth person. She loved helping others and focused on a life of service and happiness.
Harpercollins Childrens Books released a book for ages 4-8 called “Just Being Audrey”. Following Audrey Hepburn’s life growing up in the WWII-era readers take a look into the actresses life as a child. Audrey always wanted to become a dancer, but faced ridicule from her friends who made fun of her for her tall, lanky build, large eyes and large feet, traits that made her an iconic beauty later on in life.
I spent way too much time reading and writing down some of my favorites quotes from Audrey. I bet they are some of yours too.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.
If I get married, I want to be very married.
Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!
Paris is always a good idea.
-Audrey Hepburn
