Audrey Hepburn is the exception that proves the rule. That of the beautiful but frivolous, the charming but lacks the talent, the word that the contemporary cinema (and not just the movies) is trying to pouring out. And this unique combination of charm and a propensity for acting totally out of the ordinary if they all noticed immediately: the first at Paramount Pictures, when the first specimen prefer it to Elizabeth Taylor for the role of Princess Anne in Roman Holiday , Cary Grant, who then worked to change the titles of the film so that the names of both were given the same importance, and finally came the Academy Awards, which give it the Oscar for best actress at the first important performance on the big screen. The book edited by Scott Brizel study this transformation through the links and the plots that cinema, fashion and press have developed over decades and more than many others that Audrey has helped to create. The career of the actress as seen through the covers of magazines around the world, in a seamless succession of images from newspapers, weekly and monthly from every corner of the globe.
The author of the book is well aware of the significance of curating a photographic book, but in particular that seems to escape many of his colleagues. It is not enough to run one minute of research in libraries and newspaper libraries of the four continents, and publish their findings in a book-quality paper and printing as high as possible. And 'necessary condition, of course, but not quite adequate. And 'in fact essential to take specific positions on the text and caption of the work, as well as on the disposal of hundreds of selected photos. Brizel Scott realizes that the hand must take the reader through the story of the career of the actress, aware that as is known, it is difficult for even the most experienced user will know the implications of the road that led to success. In doing so, however, realizes the need to measure the possible words, to have to summarize the text and to become simply a track that opens the path to each chapter of the professional career of the diva. Here it is then make their presence but in a totally discreet, provide captions for each photo essential and clear and above all alternate images so elegant to further emphasize the beauty of the actress. The rest of the work he does Hepburn, who, with his smile from the covers of magazines, Italian, American, Japanese, Chinese, Iranian, and even Malay, French, Brazilian, makes this work is not a volume but a true work of art and collectibles, sold, inter alia, at a price reasonably content. Jacket, large format pages in full color glossy and heavy. Precious.
