ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I HAVE ALWAYS DEPENDED on the kindness of strange friends and archivists—and on the facts and favors they provide me over the years of researching and writing a biography such as this. There is no nice way to “group” people; doing so by location is perhaps least offensive. So those mentioned in the Foreword now join all the others for a full geo-alphabetical listing below.
Biography is a mosaic, and a mosaic is an arty jigsaw puzzle: Random pieces arrive in no sensible order. Some pieces never arrive at all; many turn out to belong to somebody else’s puzzle and thus a colossal waste of one’s time. Gradually, some shape or outline is discernible, and then patches of the whole that may or may not connect. Not even the biographer himself knows what the picture will look like until it’s done—unless his picture is preconceived, in which case he’s not to be trusted.
Each of the people and institutions below supplied pieces of the Audrey Hepburn mosaic or helped me figure out where they belonged. With every project, I am always amazed anew by the generosity of the folks I ask for help. I am fondly grateful to everyone listed below, and I think George Coleman would approve of sharing this book’s dedication with all of them.
