Breakfast at Tiffany’s: The Story of America’s Sweetheart, Audrey Hepburn

Like a Double Bomb

Luca recalled how, when his mother died, it was “like a double bomb.” The sadness they felt and wanting to be private was too much to bear. The thing was that at the same time, she was on the cover of every magazine. It was a shock for them.

Luca says how he tries to keep his mother’s memory alive with his three sons, keeping her as their grandmother and not the out-of-this-world icon that she was. While her name will also connected to high fashion, Luca admitted that she also had her “chill out clothes too.”
As you can see from this photo of her on the cover of People Weekly, her death was a main event. She was on the cover of many magazines at the time.
