Just Being Audrey

The first Audrey Hepburn movie I ever saw was “My Fair Lady”.  I grew up watching the movie over and over with my mom and sister dancing around the house and singing the songs, “The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain” and “I could have danced all night.”  Of course Audrey Hepburn is fondly remembered for her movies, but she is also revered for her humanitarian work and her classic, graceful style.  Recently, I came across this book, “Just Being Audrey” and read more about her story – growing up, becoming famous, having a family and becoming an icon.  It’s ironic, however, that Audrey was quoted saying, “I never think of myself as an icon…I just do my thing.”  This book inspired me in more ways than one.  Here I am below, “just doing my thing…just being Grace.”
