From her film shoot of "Rooster Cogburn & The Lady" in Oregon to her retirement, John Bryson snapped up perhaps thousands of photos. What he selected is a real treat for the Hepburn fan. So upon immediately opening the book, you will be thrilled to be peekabooing behind not only the scenes but also her front door - even her bedroom door. You get the sense of a no nonsense woman who cooks her own food, does her own laundry, her own gardening, etc. If you're expecting the kinds of staged shots would see in Architectural Digest you will be a bit disappointed. I really like the pictures but sometimes they do have an amateur quality. As a fellow openwater swimmer, I was disappointed that the two swim pics of her swimming were surprisingly poor! [e.g., a pic of her in the lake during filming of "On Golden Pond" has her face sticking out of the water, right up against THE SPINE OF THE BOOK! The other of her emerging from Long Island Sound in a mere bathing suit in winter is grainy] The pics of her playing tennis are, conversely, priceless!! What a woman! Overall, you will find the book a treat.
