| • | "the generosity of the hospital patients [when doing voluntary work at Deaconess Hospital, Arnhem, in 1945] also got Audrey started on a lifelong addiction to smoking cigarettes...In later, more health-conscious days, her chain-smoking would often shock those who expected Audrey Hepburn to be perfect. 'The only bad thing I can say about Audrey - the only thing - is that she smoked,' designer friend Jeffrey Banks recalls...The underlying cause of Audrey's frail health was the asthma and anemia that had plagued her since the war, combined with her addiction to cigarettes. As long as she continued to puff a pack or more of her favorite English-cut Gold Flakes per day, the wheezing and the coughing weren't going to disappear...Though she wanted to stop smoking , she couldn't. But she was trying to restrict herself to six cigarettes per day, using a filtered holder that her mother sent her from Dunhill in London [1954]...One secular pleasure that Audrey didn't give up was smoking cigarettes, which she did even in her nun's habit while relaxing between takes [for The Nun's Story, 1958]...Audrey fell into what she later described as a 'black decline,' turning into a nervous wreck who smoked three packs of cigarettes a day [1960]", "Audrey Hepburn: A Biography" by Warren G. Harris, '94 |

'My mother taught me to stand straight, sit erect and to smoke only six cigarettes a day ... she was smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and was fifteen pounds underweight ... whenever she smoked a cigarette, she stubbed it out in a tiny white ashtray, then put the butt into a wastebasket beside her bed ... Audrey went into a deep depression. Her weight dropped to ninety-eight pounds and she was smoking three packs a day ... When she needs a match for a cigarette, the look on her face is like a deer on a rifle range ... She said, 'I have some sins', and one them was smoking. She was smoking cigarettes and answering letters in her white dressing gown with her hair loose ... she was so nervous ... pacing back and forth, smoking, her hands ice cold", "Audrey Hepburn" by Barry Paris, '01, pgs. 93, 105, 110, 163, 167, 288, 323, 361 |

| • | "The postage stamp was taken out of circulation because of the cigarette. Did Audrey Hepburn smoke? She did. And not just as Holly Golightly in the film [Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)]. Even in her private life she couldn't leave cigarettes alone in more than 40 years. So why was a graphic designer not allowed to immortalise the actress on a postage stamp in the way that she is nevertheless remembered by many? Namely as Holly Golightly, coquettishly poking out her particularly long cigarette holder from beneath her broad-brimmed hat" , Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Oct. 6, '05
