In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Audrey Hepburn’s son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, shared insights into his famous mother’s life.
Known for roles in some of the most beloved films of the 20th century, Audrey Hepburn starred in classics such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Roman Holiday, Funny Face, and Sabrina. More than just an actress, Hepburn was known as a style icon whose influence fans still emulate decades later.
The beloved actress is even the subject of a new biopic starring (and produced by) Lily Collins. Last February, Collins revealed her new role, posting (on Instagram), “It’s with almost 10 years of development and a lifetime of admiration and adoration for Audrey that I am finally able to share this. Honored and ecstatic don’t begin to express how I feel.”
Collins certainly isn’t the only one who admires and adores the Holly Golightly legend. And while there are countless books written about her, Hepburn’s son, Sean, is now preserving her legacy through Intimate Audrey: The Authorized Biography (co-authored with Wendy Holden). The 65-year-old biographer/conservator opened up in a candid Vanity Fairinterview, saying, “I liked the idea that the manuscript could be, above all, the one that is placed at the top of the pile, the same as a history book, to ensure that there will always be an authoritative account, narrated in part by herself.”
The recent interview with Hepburn’s son covered everything from World War II to the star’s very public marriages. He also talked about his mother’s lasting legacy as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, noting, “There is a family and cultural component, something that is passed on from one generation to the next. I myself am passing it on to my children, with whom I have traveled and done projects. My daughter, Emma, for example, has worked for UNICEF and UNHCR.”

Hepburn Ferrer also talked about his mother’s final relationship with Dutch actor Rob Wolders, sharing, “In her third relationship she found peace, beauty, and affection. My mother was able to trust him and in that sense theirs was a good relationship.”
Given that it’s certainly not the first of its kind (but may very well be the most authoritative, considering the source), how does Hepburn’s son view the new bio? He explains, “The goal of this book was to take this woman, whose legend is taking her a little bit to the sky, as if she were a balloon, and bring her back down to earth.”
