Audrey Hepburn and Art

Last month, during Audrey Hepburn Month, I wrote an email to Sean Ferrer (Audrey Hepburn's son) to secure permission to post one of Audrey Hepburn's paintings on my art history blog. Sean Ferrer wrote back within a few hours, saying that it was fine with him, but he needed to secure permission and get back to me. I tried to follow up with him a few weeks later, but I still haven't received a response. Tonight I decided to just post what I have written on my art history blog, and I'll update the post if I ever receive a definitive response back from Mr. Ferrer. Even if he doesn't write back, I still am a little bit tickled that I did correspond with Audrey Hepburn's son. The post on my art history blog is about Audrey Hepburn's interest in art, both as a collector and amateur artist.

While I was do research for the post, I found a few fun promotional images for the film How to Steal a Million, in which Audrey Hepburn plays the daughter of an art forger. I'm including them here. How to Steal a Million is a very fun film, and I realized during my Audrey Hepburn Month that this is one of the few films in which Hepburn plays opposite a leading man (and romantic interest) who is actually close to her own age.
