What were Audrey Hepburn’s last words.
“Think of me when you wear them,” she said.
She’d bought winter coats for her family.
Gifts for their last Christmas together.
There in Switzerland on a cold Winter’s day.
She was dying from cancer.
Cancer of the appendix.
She’d never had it taken out.
An organ that’s useless… and it becomes worse than useless.
It becomes deadly.
Could she have had it taken out when she was younger?
Not really.
World War 2. The Dutch Resistance.
And the terrible famines.
Hollywood stars get vanity facelifts and tummy tucks, and breast implants, not appendectomies.
