AUDREY INSPIRED

---No one can doubt that Audrey Hepburn's appearance succeeds because it embodies the spirit of today. She had, if you like, her prototypes in France - Damia, Edith Piaf, or Juliet Greco. But it took the rubble of Belgium, an English accent, and an American success to launch the striking personality that best exemplifies our new Zeitgeist.---
