    Sie wird heute, 25 Jahre nach ihrem Tod, noch genauso geliebt und verehrt wie zu Lebzeiten. Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993), die Sabrina, Holly Golightly und Fair Lady der Filmgeschichte, ist im kollektiven Gedächtnis längst unsterblich geworden. Das beweist auch unsere Sammlung der schönsten Film Stills, Portraits und Privatphotos, die wir 1993 zum Abschied, als Hommage und Erinnerung an Hollywoods liebenswertesten Star herausbrachten. Die Triumphe, die sie dort in den 50er und 60er Jahren feierte, waren umso erstaunlicher, als Audrey Hepburn keineswegs den damals gängigen Klischees entsprach. Zierlich, fast androgyn und von entwaffnender Natürlichkeit bestimmte sie eine Zeitlang sogar Mode- und Schönheitsideale weltweit: ihre Pillbox-Hüte und französischen Schneiderkostüme, der burschikose Kurzhaarschnitt und die flachen Schuhe wurden zu ihrer Zeit und seitdem immer wieder millionenfach kopiert. Hollywoods schärfste Zunge Billy Wilder spottete, sie werde wohl selbst den Busen noch aus der Mode bringen. Adieu Audrey mit rund 90 Bildern von den Anfängen ihrer Karriere in den frühen 40er Jahren bis zu ihrem letzten Portrait vom September 1992 erfreut sich nach wie vor unverminderter Beliebtheit.

    Explore the fascinating life of Jackie Kennedy! Without a doubt, the name Jacqueline Kennedy draws multiple thoughts to mind. She is, perhaps, most well-known for her service as the first lady of the United States when her husband, John F. Kennedy, took office as the president, and for her role in restoring the White House. Then, of course, other people remember Jackie for her role in the fashion industry, particularly her pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat, which became symbols of her husband's assassination. Jackie is so renowned and beloved that she ranks as one of the most popular first ladies. In fact, Jacqueline was named, in 1999, in Gallup's list of Most Admired Men and Women in 20th century America. While she made major impacts on the White House, Jackie was much more than her title of first lady. Some of the topics covered in this audiobook include: Childhood and early education College and early career The relationship with John F. Kennedy Motherhood Campaign for presidency First lady The Kennedy assassination Life following the assassination Ongoing iconic figure And a great deal more that you don't want to miss! ungekürzt.

    Everyone knows that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was married to two of the 20th century’s most powerful men: John F. Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis. Lesser known are the five incredible years between those marriages, when she was on her own. Jackie tells that story - the story of a woman who was globally famous, and yet utterly enigmatic. The world was shocked when Jacqueline Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis in 1968. It would not have been so surprising had the truth of their relationship - which dated back to the 1950s - been known. Jackie knew Ari almost as long as she had known John F. Kennedy - and saw qualities in him (besides money) that she found highly attractive. The five years between her marriages to JFK and Onassis are often overlooked. But it was an incredible period of growth and change for Jackie. How did the world’s most famous woman remain so enigmatic? What was she really like? This book reveals the real Jackie, the one that hid behind her trademark large sunglasses. In this book, you’ll learn about:Jackie’s lovers - and the one man she regretted not marryingThe secret, second burial of JFKHer evolution from “political wife Jackie” into “nightclubbing, party girl Jackie”Her own near-death in 1967Her influence on pop art, fashion, and designThe missing pink pillbox hat - the crown jewel of the outfit she wore in Dallas ungekürzt.

    Anais Hendricks, 15, is in the back of a police car, headed for the Panopticon, a home for chronic young offenders. She can't remember the events that led her here, but across town a policewoman lies in a coma and there is blood on Anais' school uniform. Smart, funny, and fierce, Anais is a counter-culture outlaw, a bohemian philosopher in sailor shorts and a pillbox hat. She is also a child, who has been let down, or worse, by just about every adult she has ever met. The residents of the Panopticon form intense bonds, heightened by their place on the periphery, and Anais finds herself part of an ad hoc family there. Much more suspicious are the social workers, especially Helen, who is about to leave her job for an elephant sanctuary in India but is determined to force Anais to confront the circumstances of her birth before she goes. Looking up at the watchtower that looms over the residents, Anais knows her fate: She is part of an experiment, she always was, it's a given, a liberty - a fact. And the experiment is closing in. In language dazzling, energetic, and pure, The Panopticon introduces us to a heart-breaking young heroine and an incredibly assured and outstanding new voice in fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Late in the Pacific War, as Americans were fighting their way to the home islands of the Japanese Empire, one of the fiercest battles of World War II was raging. The Japanese had created, perhaps, the best defended area anywhere on an island called Iwo Jima. Days into the bloody battle, casualties were high on both sides. United States Marines were taking an awful pounding out in the open from enemy-fortified positions.Imperial Japanese soldiers in pillboxes and bunkers knew that the greatest danger they faced was from a flamethrower if it could get near enough to hit them. Imagine a little guy strapping on a highly flammable 70-pound weapon, instantly drawing heavy enemy fire as he maneuvered close enough with a small team of Leathernecks to destroy a pillbox. Woody Williams did just that on the hellishly hot and sulfurous volcanic island of Iwo Jima, destroying Japanese emplacements against dire odds. He, along with numerous comrades, did it again and again, taking out hundreds of fortifications which had stalled their regiment’s advance to secure the islands airfields.The capture of Iwo Jima helped the powerful new B-29s have P-51 fighter-plane escorts to help the bombers pound Japan into submission. Iwo actually was a backup landing zone for the Enola Gay if she had difficulties delivering her atomic bomb on 6 August, 1945, at Hiroshima - a bomb American leaders hoped would bring Hirohito to his knees, begging for surrender terms so World War II would stop.Accomplished military historian Bryan Mark Rigg reconstructs Woody Williams’ remarkable story, from his youth on a dairy farm in West Virginia to his experiences as a Marine in Guadalcanal, Guam, and Iwo Jima. Using never-before-known documents and interviews, Rigg brings out new information about the Pacific War unknown until now. Rigg enables the listener to better appreciate the brave marines and their heroics. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bryan Mark Rigg.
