"UNICEF thought that with my mother they would get a pretty princess to show up at galas. What they really got was a badass soldier." – Luca Dotti, Audrey Hepburn's son. Warrior: Audrey Hepburn completes the story arc of Robert Matzen's Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn and World War II. Hepburn's experiences in wartime, including the murder of family members, her survival through combat and starvation conditions, and work on behalf of the Dutch Resistance, gave her the determination to become a humanitarian for UNICEF and the fearlessness to charge into war-torn countries in the Third World on behalf of children and their mothers in desperate need. She set the standard for celebrity humanitarians and--according to her son Luca Dotti--ultimately gave her life for the causes she espoused.

From Roman Holiday to Breakfast at Tiffany's, when Audrey Hepburn starred in a movie, she lit up the screen. Her unique sense of fashion, her grace, and, most important, her spirit made her beloved by generations. But her life offscreen was even more luminous. As a little girl growing up in Nazi-occupied Europe, she learned early on that true kindness is the greatest measure of a person—and it was a lesson she embodied as she became one of the first actresses to use her celebrity to shine a light on the impoverished children of the world through her work with UNICEF. This is Audrey Hepburn as a little girl, an actress, an icon, an inspiration; this is Audrey just being Audrey.

"Why should Audrey Hepburn still matter today? This book revises the contemporary view of Hepburn that sees her primarily as a fashion icon and style guru. It argues that her films, more than her biography or her likeness, are essential to understanding both her importance as one of the all-time major stars to emerge in Hollywood after World War II and her lasting popularity. On Audrey Hepburn examines her screen presence and persona while at the same time emphasizing her skill as an actress. While cognizant of the many contradictions inhering in her films, the book examines the liminality she represented in her comedies and musicals, demonstrating how her characters' desiring and intelligence supply the primary motors of the plots, resist the films' patriarchal template, and complicate her asymmetrical casting opposite older male stars. Moreover, Hepburn's close relation with designer Hubert de Givenchy, which established her identification with haute couture, enabled her characters' movement onscreen and was a basis for understanding transformation through fashion as an turning-point event in the narrative, which forged a pathway through spectacle for viewer identification with Hepburn's difference, as symbolized by her unorthodox body, which the clothes did not disguise but amplified. On Audrey Hepburn, finally, examines her skilful performances in thrillers and dramas, studying her expert timing and use of props, her expressive face as it revealed interior emotions and thinking, her interaction with other actors in an ensemble, and the overall nuance with which she developed complex characterizations"--
