Just hearing the name Audrey Hepburn, people immediately imagine a tender and charming woman with huge and clean eyes. The beloved actress of millions is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful women in the history of cinema. However, in addition to her famous roles and excellent acting data, she was a wonderful mother of two sons and no less beautiful person with a big heart. At the end of her career in cinema, Audrey was the UNICEF Ambassador until the end of her days, helping children from the poorest and least developed countries. You can describe the life of this truly amazing woman for a long time, but in today’s article I would like to pay special attention to her youngest son, Luca Dotti.
AUDREY’S MEETING WITH FATHER LUKE
After a divorce from her first husband, Mell Ferror, with whom the actress lived for 14 long years and gave birth to her eldest son, Sean, Audrey Hepburn became depressed. At that time, namely in 1968, she really had a very difficult time. Friends and colleagues were very worried about Audrey and how they could try to support her and cheer her up.
Therefore, in the same year, her good friends invited her on a cruise. There, at the behest of fate, one of the guests turned out to be a psychiatrist Andrea Dotti. As it turned out, he had long been fascinated by the beautiful Audrey, knowing her as an actress. A spark broke out between them immediately, and the affair began. Dottie supported Hepburn in her difficult situation and helped survive the divorce. Very soon, Andrea made her an offer, to which the actress gladly agreed.
FURTHER LIFE AND THE BIRTH OF LUKE
It seemed that life finally turned to her with its happy side. After all, what Audrey dreamed about throughout her life came true – she became a mother and now a wife. Hepburn immediately abandoned her career, completely plunged into a quiet family life. Very soon a joyful event occurred in their family. On February 8, 1970, the second son of Audrey Hepburn was born – Luca Dotti.
Audrey adored both sons and virtually disappeared into them. What could not be said about her husband. Pretty soon Andrea got bored with such a life, and he was increasingly noticed at parties with young girls. Audrey turned a blind eye to everything, preferring to deal more with children. The family was also influenced by the fact that in Italy, due to the threat of terrorism, it became completely unsafe to remain. And Audrey with two children returned home to Switzerland. Andrea remained in Rome, thereby further estranged from his wife and son.
GROWING BOWS
When Audrey’s turn came back to the screen, a nanny was hired to help raise her sons, Sean Ferrer and Luke Dotti. The boys got along quite well enough, not feeling jealousy for the attention of their mother. The nanny went on frequent walks with her brothers and did her best to educate them. According to Luke, he had no idea that his mother was so famous. He says that for him and her brother she was just a mother, filling their house with comfort, delicious food and an atmosphere of happiness.
At that time, Luke’s father, Andrea, visited his wife and son only on weekends. In 1982, Audrey and Dottie ended their relationship officially.
AFTER MOTHER’S DEΑТΗ
In 1993, the legendary Audrey did not. This sad event was struck by lightning in the clear sky around the world. Luca Dotti recalls that Audrey really wanted to see her grandchildren, but, unfortunately, she did not wait for their birth. The eldest granddaughter was born a year after the ԁеаtһ of the famous grandmother.
As for the biography of Luke Dotti, the youngest son of Hepburn, very little is known about her, because he is not a public person. We only know that Luke works as a graphic designer, and also recently released several books with memories and rare photos of his mother. Below you can see a photo of Luke Dotti with mom.
