Vespa's 80th birthday: Scooter adored by stars has eye-watering valuation

Meandering Easter Monday. Following an article in the Guardian about Audrey Hepburn: biography by her son Sean Hepburn, I realised how few Audrey's movies I had watched. One movie caught my attention: The Children’s Hour (1961). I just finished it. What a movie!
Inevitably, I went into rabbit hole that brought me right back to Edinburgh's West end and the Great 1811 Drumsheugh Case. The story was based upon.
Everyday is a school day.

New book by Sean Hepburn Ferrer about his mother Audrey Hepburn:

"Ever since Audrey died, Sean has been in the business of preserving his mother’s legacy, which means distributing funds to charity, mostly via the Audrey Hepburn Children’s Fund, and a constant vigilance over her image, protecting it from opportunistic cash-ins and licensing it to the right people."

Reminder that Lily Collins will play Audrey Hepburn in a new film about the making of the 1961 classic “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Hopefully Alena Smith will direct.

Collins will also serve as a producer for the project, which is based on the Sam Wasson book “Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the Dawn of the Modern Woman.” Alena Smith, best known for creating the Apple TV series “Dickinson,” will write the script.

Audrey Hepburn. Remarkable.

My mother, Audrey Hepburn: the star’s son Sean on her movies, marriages, good works and fascist parents

The heroine of Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany’s knew war and poverty, riches and fame, love and betrayal – yet claimed to have lived a ‘terribly boring’ life. Sean Hepburn Ferrer paints a very different picture in his new biography.
