When illustrator Christopher Longe was working on his new graphic novel, Audrey Hepburn: An illustrated Biography, it was not the grace and grace of the icon that struck him most. She defended children from her later years in order to defend children around the world as UNICEF ambassadors, and won the Presidential Freedom Medal in 1992, which was Hepburn’s unwavering commitment to being a dedicated humanitarian. Written by Eileen Hofer.
“Audrey Hepburn has always been a part of my life,” Longe said. “However, while writing this novel, I was amazed at Audrey Hepburn’s humanism. I need to do good things to be happy around her.
From a beauty and health perspective, Longe likes to return to this rather famous quote from Hepburn, saying, “I believe in pink. I think laughing is the best way to burn calories. I believe in a lot of kisses.
“When she arrived in London after the war, she didn’t have very few clothes with pennies,” he says. “But her friend said she was still elegant. She knew how to exchange clothes such as scarves to be the best. Her best friend, Givenchy, praised it about her.”
Longe also refers to Sam Revenson’s poem, which Hepburn often recites, saying, “With charming lips, speaking words of kindness. To have beautiful eyes, look at what people have, stay slim and share meals with hungry people. People above the object need to be repaired, spoiled, resurrected, claimed and saved. No one should refuse.
Think about it. If you need help, you can find one at the end of each arm. As you get older, you will find yourself having two hands to help yourself. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, her face, or the way she arranges her hair. The beauty of a woman is visible in her eyes. Because it is an open door to her heart, the source of her love. The beauty of a woman lies not in her makeup, but in the true beauty of her soul. It is the kindness she gives, the love and passion she expresses. Women’s beauty grows with age. ”
Longe says there are “too many” long beauty and style moments that Hepburn has given us to the list, but he calls out some of his favorites.
“Audrey changed the vision of women from the 50s. Her short hair on Roman holidays sucked a wind of panic in Asian countries as women wanted this haircut. So the hairdresser went to the temple to seek God’s forgiveness! Paris forgets that when Audrey is awake wearing a man’s shirt, she will play Sabrina’s Givench dress.
