Winston Churchill: The Greatest Person of
the Twentieth Century with
Audrey Hepburn
Martin Levinson, Ph.D.
Wednesday, October 21,
noon – 1:00 p.m.
Winston Churchill saved Western
Civilization from Nazi barbarism in the
1940s and warned against its sister
barbarism, Soviet Communism (he came
up with the term “Iron Curtain”). He
held numerous political and cabinet
positions, was an accomplished artist,
won the Nobel Prize for Literature, was
the first person to be made an honorary
citizen of the United States, and was a superb speechmaker. Among
his many notable quotations is the following: “Success is not
final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.”
with Marilyn Carminio
Marilyn Carminio presents the life of
Audrey Hepburn from her childhood
in war-ravaged Holland to her career
as an actress, dancer, model, and
humanitarian. In over 25 movies,
Audrey infused the screen with beauty,
irresistible charm, and grace. While
Audrey is remembered as a timeless icon of style, the personal story
of this extraordinary lady is equally compelling. This multi-media
presentation will celebrate the life and memory of the fabulous
Audrey Hepburn. | RMP905
