Just when you think you've learned all there is to know about a famous figure like Audrey Hepburn, a skilled biographer like Epstein peels back the facade and offers a brand-new angle. I was fascinated to learn about the relationship between these two titans of Classic Hollywood. Epstein's book was both intriguing and downright fun to read.

This book is very light read with the focus on the romances of Audrey Hepburn and William Holden including a brief fling they had around the making of the movie Sabrina. The author spends a great deal more time on Hepburn than he does Holden, so a reader needs to keep that in mind. An early mistake in the book causes me to wonder about the rest of the  research done on the book. The book states that Holden spent his teenage years in Pasadena. It was actually South Pasadena and it wasn't hard for me to find it.

I can only recommend this book for anyone who wants an overview of life of the two actors with the emphasis on Audrey Hepburn.

I received a free Kindle copy of Audrey and Bill by Ernest Epstein courtesy of Net Galley  and Perseus Books, the publisher. It was with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley, Goodreads, Amazon and my fiction book review blog. I also posted it to my Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus pages.

I requested this book as I have seen many of the movies made by the two actors. This is the first book by the author that I have read.

Audrey and Bill offers nothing new. The gimmick is pairing the two in this book. Any movie fan worth her salt knows all about the on set affair duirng SABRINA. The book is perfectly enjoyable--just not anything great.

I was unfortunately unable to read this in a timely manner, and have lost interest in reading this. I thank you for the oportunity.
