Audrey Hepburns beauty secret

When actress Audrey Hepburn was asked to reveal her beauty secret, she wrote the following lines, which were later read at her funeral:

“To have a good smile, you have to say the right words.

To have beautiful eyes, find the beauty within the person in front of you.

To be elegant, share your meals with those who are hungry.

To have beautiful hair, let a child caress you every day.

To have a beautiful attitude, always walk knowing that you are never alone, because those who love you and have loved you constantly accompany you.

People, even more than objects, need to be repaired, awakened, sought after and spared: never give up on anyone.

As you grow you will think you need a hand and you will find one at the end of each arm:

as you grow you will realize that you have two hands, one to help yourself, the other to help those who need it.”
