That’s a unique way of looking at it, Jim. Could be very true. Thanks for sharing!

I know, I agree, the smoking didn’t help her at all with aging well… or her longevity. BUT… even with all the smoking, she still moved and talked so gracefully that it didn’t matter much for me. She emanated grace and elegance – wrinkly or not 🙂

Thank you Michael for sharing! Glad to hear you’re still here with us. I know, it’s crazy what doctor’s recommended back then! It makes you wonder what else might be wrong with what they are saying today. Such as the “food pyramid” which was totally wrong or “stay away from fat bc it makes you fat” and then we find out that fat is good and essential for the body.

It appears that smoking up to 3 packs a day shortened her life by about 20 to 30 years. Back in those days smoking was socially acceptable and the health issues were not known. However even if Doctors recommended smoking in the 50’s how could anyone think that inhaling smoke would be healthy that continues to this day to baffle me. My father who born in 1911 was 3 pack a day smoker and died at 73 from lung cancer. I never smoked although I grew up in North Carolina, my friends did and most are dead now. I was born in 1952,

Smoking is the worst kind of addiction. It took its toll on Audrey later on in life. Her teeth yellowed and her face and neck wrinkled badly. She aged badly and lost her youthful looks. Don’t take it up.

Maybe smoking so much helped her be who she was. Better be her with a shortened life than any moralizing anonymous poster…

After reading about her lifelong smoking habit, it’s no wonder she died from a rare form of cancer.

Very interesting and I love the pictures. Ms Hepburn would have been aware that cigarettes were not healthy. Warning labels were required on cigarettes beginning in 1965 in the US. I knew lots of people who smoked then and everyone was discussing it.

Terrible habit. And disgusting smell from mouth.
