I loved Audrey Hepburn. She was not only beautiful, but she dressed so elegantly. She could wear anything. She was in a movie with Shirley MacLaine called "The Children's Hour" in 1961. James Garner was in it too. It's been described as Tragedy, Romance, Drama. Another of her movies that had me captivated was "The Nun's Story" from 1969. It was based on a real person. The movie moved me so much, I had to read the book by Kathryn Hulme, which was inspired by the experiences of her friend, Marie Louise Habets of the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary, a Belgian nurse and an ex-nun whom she met while working with refugees in post-war Europe. The author sponsored the former nun's emigration to the United States, and later converted to Catholicism.
My favorite 'inspirational book' based upon true evens is 'In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer' by Irene Gut Opdyke.
"You must understand that I did not become a resistance fighter, a smuggler of Jews, a defier of the SS and the Nazis all at once. One's first steps are always small: I had begun by hiding food under a fence."
I think it's been made into a movie with great reviews, but I haven't seen it, yet.
