Edward Z. Epstein

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.

The book is organized around Bob Hope's careers in vaudeville, Broadway, radio, film, television, and U.S.O. tours, and is studded with an ample supply of anecdotes, transcriptions, and personal recollections by Hope, and the colloquial biographical sketch preceding the description of Bob Hope's various careers sets the largely effusive tone. Hope's career as a film star is given most attention, with a brief discussion of each film including plot summaries, the film's importance to Hope's artistry or finances, critics' reactions, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes, very useful for the student of film history. The real depth of the man behind the great success is merely hinted at and while readers are tantalized by descriptions of Hope's enormous energy, prudence, and passion for precision, these descriptions often become springboards for a tangential discussion of social, national, or industry-related problems. Hope is treated as a phenomenon whose career coincided with the rise of various popular art forms, and as a man who capitalized on his talents.
