the fair lady

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
— Audrey Hepburn

she died at the age of 63 because of appendiceal cancer at her home in Switzerland. since 1967 onward, after fifteen highly successful years in film, she decided to devote more time to her family and acted only occasionally.

upon return from Somalia to Switzerland in the autumn of 1992, she began suffering from abdominal pains. she went to specialists and received inconclusive results, so decided to have herself examined while on a trip to Los Angeles, California in October. on 1 November, she checked in at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with her family. doctors performed a laparoscopy and discovered abdominal cancer that had spread from her appendix, a very rare form of cancer belonging to a group of cancers known as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). having grown slowly over several years, the cancer had metastasised, not as a tumour, but as a thin coating over her small intestine. after performing surgery, the doctors put Audrey through 5-fluorouracil Leucovorin chemotherapy. a few days later, she had an obstruction and medication was not enough to dull the pain. she underwent further surgery on 1 December.aAfter one hour, the surgeon decided that the cancer had spread too far to be removed fully. because Audrey was unable to fly on commercial aircraft, Hubert de Givenchy arranged for Rachel Lambert "Bunny" Mellon to send her private Gulfstream jet, filled with flowers, to take Hepburn from California to Switzerland.

all i know from Audrey Hepburn that she's a big-hearted lady and she always reminds everyone to help one another. and her fashion style, so everytime Audrey Hepburn popped into my mind, there's also Givenchy. well duh if she's one of my friend at school, she'll be the GEE. Girl Everyone Envy.
