NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- "Enchantment: The Life of Audrey Hepburn" examines the Hollywood actress' rise to fame, something the author said she never really sought.
Author Donald Spoto told CBS' "The Early Show" Tuesday Hepburn, who died in 1993, wanted to dance, but experiences during World War II in Holland "left her almost on the brink of starvation."
Hepburn, famed for her 20-inch waist and European sense of style, made almost 30 films, notably "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Charade," "My Fair Lady" and "Roman Holiday," for which she earned an Oscar.
"It's an extraordinary thing because, for Audrey, fame and fashion had no great cache for her," Spoto said. "She was not interested in pursuing fame."
Despite her success, the one thing Spoto said Hepburn wanted more than anything was a happy family life. Twice married, she had a son with each husband.
Hepburn's performance of a dance from "Funny Face" can be seen in the latest GAP commercials.
