Mark Shaw Bücher

Im Jahr 1953, die gerade erst bekannt gewordene Audrey Hepburn drehte unter Billy Wilder den Paramount-Film 'Sabrina', schickte das amerikanische Fotomagazin LIFE seinen Mitarbeiter Mark Shaw ans Set, um ein paar Aufnahmen von der jungen Schauspielerin zu machen.

Die anderen Negative verschwanden – und sollten erst fünfzig Jahre später durch einen Zufall wiedergefunden werden. Dieses Buch versammelt eine Auswahl der schönsten Audrey-Bilder vom 'Sabrina'-Set: anrührende Momentaufnahmen eines kommenden Stars.

Written in the spirit of The Diary of Anne Frank and beginning where the bestseller Hitler's Willing Executioners leaves off, Stations along the Way is a true story chronicling the spiritual transformation of former Hitler Youth leader Ursula Martens.
