Top Pick: Margaret Cardillo – Just Being Audrey
Sunday, April 10, 2011
Brings the kids to a reading by author Margaret Cardillo for an Audrey’s Almost Breakfast Near Tiffany’s story time event. 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 book is Audrey Hepburn as a little girl, an actress, an icon, an inspiration; this is Audrey just being Audrey. Ages 4 and up. Free. 12:30pm. Books & Books, 9700 Collins Ave; Bal Harbour.
