Here for the first time is the complete, captivating story of an on-set romance that turned into a lifelong love story between silver screen legends Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. In 1954, Hepburn and Holden were America's sweethearts. Both won Oscars that year and together they filmed Sabrina, a now-iconic film that continues to inspire the worlds of film and fashion.
Audrey & Bill tells the stories of both stars, from before they met to their electrifying first encounter when they began making Sabrina. The love affair that sparked on-set was relatively short-lived, but was a turning point in the lives of both stars. Audrey & Bill follows both Hepburn and Holden as their lives crisscrossed through to the end, providing an inside look at the Hollywood of the 1950s, '60s, and beyond. Through in-depth research and interviews with former friends, co-stars, and studio workers, Audrey & Bill author Edward Z. Epstein sheds new light on the stars and the fascinating times in which they lived.

      Audrey Hepburn has remained a cultural and fashion icon, although she passed away 22 years ago. Known for her gamine looks and simple elegance, Hepburn was an Oscar-winning actress. William Holden, too, was an Oscar winner; famous for his all-American manly looks, he is probably not as well known today. Though Holden was married, the two embarked on a love affair when they were filming Billy Wilder's 1954 film Sabrina. Their affair did not last when Hepburn learned Holden could not have more children, so this book's title is a bit misleading. It implies that theirs was a lifelong love affair, which isn't really the case. Yes, they had affection for each other, but they never really came together again. The book details the love affair in a couple of chapters and the rest of the volume is more about their separate lives and careers. Epstein has written accounts of Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, and others and here presents an engrossing look at Hollywood in the 1950s and 1960s. VERDICT Celebrity watchers who have read biographies of Hepburn and Holden might not find much new here but movie mavens will still enjoy this well-written dual biography.--Rosellen Brewer, Sno-Isle Libs., Marysville, WA
