The
last big news item on Audrey Hepburn was an exhibit in Italy showcasing
Audrey's life in Rome. The exhibit was sadly short-lived, yet still
managed to raise nearly $100,000 for UNICEF! If you couldn't make it out
to Rome to visit the exhibit, but desperately wanted to see the
displays of Audrey's clothes, personal belongings, and candid
photographs, never fear: a special book curated by her son Luca Dotti
has been released with 192 pages of text and pictures for your
enjoyment.
If you are in Europe, you can order the book through Amazon's Italian page here,
or try your luck at local bookstores, as they have been spotted out and
about. If you are in the U.S., the book is harder to find, but not
impossible. A few sellers on Amazon
have copies at around $30 (plus shipping), and would cost you near the
same amount to order a copy from overseas and have it shipped to you.
The best part is that all royalties from the sales go directly to the
Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund.
In an extra bit of news: if you are on Twitter, so am I! You can now get all your Audrey news in 140 characters or less. See you there.

Then would the world be no world, then would e'en Rome be no Rome..."
