Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

"She exuded some magic warmth that was hers alone," gushes the Life magazine photographer and Hollywood portraitist Bob Willoughby in this book about his favourite subject, Audrey Hepburn.

"A forest creature who, before one's eyes, could transform herself into a princess." It may sound like hyperbole but in fact we do begin to see what he means. There's a whole chapter of pictures with her pet fawn, Pippin, in which she looks just like a Disney princess. And she's equally radiant in posed and unguarded shots alike. Left, she relaxes in her rented villa during the shoot for 1964's Paris When it Sizzles
