Summary:
On December 1, 1992, the surgeon operating on Audrey had to sew her back up, due to the fast development of the cancer. The area was too irritated to operate. As a result, the family was free of uncertainty and instead focused on loving one another as if tomorrow was the last. Audrey's friend, Hubert de Givenchy, provided a private jet to take her home to Switzerland, which was bittersweet, since she returned home in luxury, but in bad health. Before the cancer, Somalia had been her last UNICEF trip. There, genocide and starvation plagued the people. After her visit there, and her awareness raising speeches, the press increased their efforts to bring up attention to the Somali cause. After Audrey died, the Audrey Hepburn Memorial Fund was created to give chances to African children chances through education (which Audrey deeply believed would help them).
Quote:
''Her style was only an extension of who she was, the person we all admired, because down deep we knew that what we saw was not just clever packaging but an honest and 100 percent genuine human being.'' (Ferrer 155).
Reaction:
Although Audrey was referred to as the most elegant and most stylish woman in the world, it wasn't just the clothing that made her appear that way, it was also her inner values. She was honest, had pure intentions, disciplined, respectful, and more. She believed in simplicity, so she stuck to her own style, instead of following seasonal trends, because of this, she was unique and stylish. Although it's not just all about the looks; she knew who she was, and stuck to it, making her truly 'genuine'. I chose this quote because it showed how her inner values, and outer appearance defined Audrey Hepburn as an actress, model, and well respected icon of fashion.
