America is a country full of would-be inventors. For most, it’s as simple as discovering a problem that no one’s ever solved and coming up with a creative and inexpensive solution.

Here are just a few of the countless TV marvels that have been advertised on our sets since this phenomenon began.

• A good example of the whole “discover a problem, discover a solution” method of inventing is the “Snap-It Screw.” It’s a method of replacing the tiny, and difficult to handle, screws that hold eyeglasses together.

• The “Snap-It Screw” was invented by Nancy Tedeschi.

“The old saying that necessity is the mother of inventions is what inspired [it],” said Tedeschi. She meant it literally, as it was her own mother who inspired the invention’s creation.

• Tedeschi’s mother was overseas doing volunteer work when a hinge screw in her glasses broke. Left with no other immediate remedy, Tedeschi’s mother pulled the pin out of one of her earrings and placed it where the former hinge had been. turn the page for more!

• “She wore this dangling bead from the hinge of her glasses for about a year. She traveled to several foreign countries with it in, and people would literally stop her on the streets and ask her where she got this charm,” said Tedeschi. “My mom came to me and said, ‘You have to invent charms for glasses.’”

• For Tedeschi, inventing the “Snap-It Screw” was the easy part. The difficult part was doing all the things necessary to produce and market her new invention. She had to set up patents all over the world. She had to set up a factory in China and a warehouse in Seattle, Washington. She had to spend countless hours marketing her idea to retailers.

Today, the “Snap-It Screw” is a success, and Tedeschi says that despite all the hard work, she wouldn’t change a thing.

• “Bling To Go” was invented by Abby Appelt during a period where she was forced to use crutches. She felt the dull metal could use a little pizzazz. So she created some decorative wrap-on decals to give her crutches some personality, and her invention was born.

• Appelt said, “When I wore my crutch décor, I had people stop me, literally everywhere I went, complimenting me on how awesome my crutches were!”

• As Appelt notes, people decorate a million different things with stickers, so it made sense to do likewise with crutches.

• “Bling To Go” works on crutches, canes, walkers and bed poles. It’s a medical grade product that can be sanitized and cleaned, so it presents no health hazard to the user.

The company’s slogan is “express your health,” and they back up their words by being active contributors to several physical and emotional health charities.

• Perhaps one of the more peculiar and innovative creations making the invention circuit is the “Bogdon Bass.” It’s a standing bass guitar whose main component is a cardboard box!

• The “Bogdon Bass” is literally a large cardboard box sealed with tape, with a wooden neck and vinyl strings. It

can be played with or without an amplifier. Because of the use of these materials, it is lightweight, inexpensive and recyclable.

• This peculiar instrument was invented by a man named Chris Badynee. He named the instrument after his father, Bogdon.

• “The inspiration to make my Bogdon Box Bass was that I had the desire to own something that I couldn’t afford, so I made one myself,” explained Badynee. “All I wanted was a natural-sounding upright bass for my own home recordings of songs I wrote.”

• After assembling what he thought was just a silly idea only he’d use, Badynee was shocked by how good the makeshift instrument sounded. “[It] sounded so fantastic that I had to tell someone. So I filmed a 60-second video and posted it on the web. I got 1,000 hits on Youtube in less than a day.”

• Almost immediately after the video was shown on www.tidbitsweekly.com television, Badynee received requests to buy a “Bogdon Box.” He brought in his uncle and a couple of acoustic technicians to help him perfect it. Once they got the instrument exactly right, they began selling it on Ebay to a huge response. Hundreds were sold, almost as quickly as they could turn them out.

• Badynee took the profits from those sales to protect and patent his invention. Eventually, his belief in his invention paid off in praise, when his bass was given a rave review in “Bass Player Magazine.”

• A well-known invention marketed via television infomercials is the Snuggie. This blanket with sleeves solved a problem most people didn’t even know they had.

• Since it covers your entire body but keeps your hands free thanks to its armholes, Snuggie wearers stay warm while still retaining the ability to take sip of their drink, change the channel or turn the page of a book.

• The Snuggie was introduced in 2008 and was an instant success. By 2009, 20 million Snuggies had been sold.

But there was actually a similar product already on the market, The Slanket, invented by Gary Clegg when he was a college freshman.

• Because it is difficult to patent a textile product, Clegg had not patented The Slanket, so the makers of the Snuggie were able to make and market their product legally.

• Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it’s a safe bet that Clegg felt something other than pride when he first saw the Snuggie.

SUNSET BOULEVARD

related buildings.

As one of Los Angeles’ most popular entertainment districts and tourist destinations, Sunset Boulevard is home to a variety of trendy restaurants, nightclubs, attractions, shopping spots and much more.

• One of the most famous nightclubs in the ‘40s and ‘50s was the glamorous Earl Carroll Theatre on Sunset, said to host the most beautiful girls in the world. After it was sold, it functioned as Moulin Rouge for a number of years.

• Sunset Boulevard is an approximately 22-mile-long,

• Hollywood High School, built in 1904, is on Sunset Boulevard and has a reputation for being one of the most beautiful schools in the state.

Many famous entertainment personalities are among its graduates.

• The iconic thoroughfare inspired the popular 1950s feature film “Sunset Boulevard,” starring William Holden and Gloria Swanson.

There was also a 1993 musical named “Sunset Boulevard” that starred Glen Close.

• Sunset Boulevard has been highlighted on TV shows, album covers and in song names, including the 1960s TV series “77 Sunset Strip” and the 1990s’ “Below Sunset.”

immensely famous street beginning in downtown Los Angeles and continuing west toward the Pacific. It eventually becomes Sunset Strip as it runs through Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Santa Monica and ends at the ocean.

• The boulevard is a direct link between the lower-income areas of Hollywood and the lush, incredibly upscale ones. As the road continues west, it undergoes several transformations. It gives tourists the ability to experience both sides of Hollywood and is rich with sights and attractions all along the way.

• It encompasses a surplus of must-see sites including Echo Park, Hollywood Memorial Park, Paramount Studios, KTLA Studios, Fox Network, Columbia Square and the iconic Sunset Grill made famous by Don Henley’s song.

• It is at least four lanes its entire duration, and thanks to its curvy, winding route and frequent traffic congestion, car accidents are prevalent.

• It is sometimes referred to as “Guitar Row,” as it is home

• The best known section of Sunset Boulevard is Sunset Strip, which before its glory days, was nothing more than scattered buildings and nurseries. Once the movie industry took off, studios and glamorous houses began popping up everywhere. It was once called Beverly Boulevard.

• Sunset Strip is about 1.5 miles long. It got its name because many Los Angeles County workers referred to it as “that strip” for years.

• Sunset Boulevard can brag that it has hosted most of the early motion picture companies; the area near the intersection of Gower Street was famous for the many Westerns made there. However, this section was also known as “Poverty Row,” as many of the films made there failed.

• Although many film companies popped up, the smaller ones tended to end quickly — some of them included California Film Co., Century Film Co., H. Paulis Studio and Francis Ford Studio.

• A few film companies were able to survive; some of these include Warner Brothers Studios, Christie Film Co. and Columbia Studios.

• Today, visitors from all over the world come to Sunset Boulevard to get a glimpse of what makes Tinsel Town glitter and glow.

• On Sept. 22, 1776, in New York City, 21-year-old Nathan Hale, a captain in the Continental Army, is executed by the British for spying. Before being hanged, legend holds that Hale said, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” There is no historical record to prove that Hale actually made this statement.

• On Sept. 18, 1793, George Washington lays the cornerstone to the United States Capitol building. The building would take nearly a century to complete, as architects came and went, the British set fire to it, and it was called into use during the Civil War. • On Sept. 23, 1846, German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle discovers the planet Neptune. The blue gas giant, which has a diameter four times that of Earth, has eight known moons and a ring system containing three bright and two dim rings.

• On Sept. 21, 1938, a powerful Category 3 hurricane slams into Long Island and southern New England.

Charlie Pierce, a junior forecaster in the U.S. Weather Bureau, was sure that the hurricane was heading for the Northeast, but the chief forecaster overruled him. All told, 700 people were killed by the hurricane.

• On Sept. 19, 1959, in one of the more surreal moments in the history of the Cold War, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev explodes with anger when he learns he cannot visit Disneyland. Government authorities feared that the crowds would pose a safety hazard.

• On Sept. 17, 1965, four adventurous Englishmen arrive at a motor show in Germany after crossing the English Channel by Amphicar, the world’s only mass-produced amphibious passenger car. On land, the cars used a fourspeed-plus-reverse manual transmission. In the water, they used a transfer case that had two speeds: forward and backward.

• On Sept. 20, 1973, in a highly publicized “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match, top women’s player Billie Jean King, 29, plays Bobby Riggs, 55, a former No. 1-ranked men’s player. Riggs, a self-proclaimed male chauvinist, had boasted that women were inferior. King beat Riggs 6-4, 6-3, 6-3. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

SOFA SHOPPING

Having provided some fun facts about those marvelous inventions sold on TV, it makes sense to share a little interesting information about the evolution of home shopping. For anyone who has ever enjoyed the luxury of finding a good deal from the comfort of their couch, here’s how it all came about.

• The first example of “home shopping” as we know it was offered by The Home Shopping Network (or HSN).

HSN started with humble beginnings in 1977 in Clearwater, Florida, by selling 112 electronic can openers on an AM radio station.

This turned into a regular radio shopping show called “Suncoast Bargaineers.”

• In 1981, the televised “Home Shopping Channel” was launched as a Tampa Bay local access cable channel. In 1985, it began broadcasting nationwide, 24-hours a day on cable and local TV. • Today, The Home Shopping Network is a $3 billion retailer that stretches across multiple channels and includes online, mobile, catalog and brick and mortar stores. It offers products 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 364 days a year.

• HSN now reaches 96 million homes, and its online site is one of the top 10 e-commerce sites on the web. Its catalog division, Cornerstone, distributes 275 million catalogs a year. That’s a lot of postage!

• In 2010, legendary rocker Rod Stewart was the first popular performer to debut a new album on a shopping channel. He debuted his CD “Fly Me To The Moon” with a live, one-hour concert on HSN. It was the highest viewed program in the history of the network and broke all its music sales records.

Chester, Pennsylvania. The company broke American business records for sales by a new public company. Part of its early success came through an exclusive agreement with Sears to sell their products on the air.

• Showing the influence of home shopping as more than just niche programming, QVC reported record sales of T-shirts heralding “Dallas Cowboys 1994 Super Bowl Champs.” The network sold over 6,000 shirts in just the first few seconds after the game ended!

• In 1995, QVC’s success in home shopping was expressed by a few remarkable landmarks. In March of that year, they recorded over 250,000 phone calls in a single day.

• It also shipped its 200 millionth package during March of that year, the equivalent of one package for every person in America at the time. In August of that year, QVC held a “Klondike Gold Rush Day,” where revenues topped $19 million dollars in 24 hours.

Long-term weight loss was associated with a decreased intake of meat, cheese, and sweets and an increased intake of fruits and vegetables, according to a new study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Researchers studied 481 overweight and obese postmenopausal women from the Women on the Move through Activity and Nutrition Study in Pennsylvania. The women who received counseling specifically on how to consume less total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol and how to eat more fiber saw the most long-term weight loss. Long-term weight loss is associated with decreased risk for chronic diseases including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.

Vegetables and Fruits Double Breast Cancer Survival Rates Results from the Women’s Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) study show that, in women previously diagnosed with breast cancer, diets including at least five fruit and vegetable servings daily, when coupled with physical activity, reduce mortality by nearly 50 percent. Increasing fruit and vegetable intake beyond five a day did not lead to further benefit.

A June report in the Journal of Clinical Oncology showed that women who followed the five-a-day recommendation and remained physically active had a nearly 50 percent reduction in mortality risk during the seven-year study period. A report in the July 18, 2007, edition of JAMAshows that recommendations for even greater fruit and vegetable intake did not extend benefits beyond those achieved by the five-a-day group.The WHEL study included more than 3,000 women.

Prior reports from the WHEL study have shown that diet changes alter the hormones that influence cancer growth.

In a sub-study of 291 participants, increases in fiber and reductions in dietary fat were associated with reduced serum concentrations of estradiol, bioavailable estradiol, estrone, and estrone sulfate.

Previous studies have shown that low-fat, high-fiber diets improve cancer survival. The Women’s Intervention Nutrition Study (WINS) showed that reducing dietary fat and boosting fiber cut the risk of cancer recurrence by 24 percent.

Slowing Macular Degeneration DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am an 82-year-old woman. My body cannot tolerate antibiotics, vitamins or painkillers. I am told I have macular degeneration and was advised to take Ocuvite once a day. My sister suggested I write to you to see if you have an idea of how to take Ocuvite in some other manner or some other way to get the ingredients in it.

Help. -- L.M. ANSWER: In 2001, the results of the first AREDS report (Age-Related Eye Disease Study) was published. It showed that the combination of beta carotene (a form of vitamin A), vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc and copper could slow the progression of moderate macular degeneration to severe macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is a wasting away of the macula -- a small, round area of the retina necessary for clear central vision, the kind needed to read, sew and drive. Ocuvite is one capsule that incorporates all these nutrients.

Currently a new study, AREDS 2, is being conducted. The vitamin-mineral combination has been altered a bit and new ingredients have been added: lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids. Some Ocuvite pills also contain these materials.

Since you’re unable to tolerate vitamins, you’ll need to get these nutrients from foods. You might not be able to reach the high levels found in pills, but you’d be getting all the ingredients in those pills.

Beta carotene is found in colored vegetables like carrots and peppers, in dark-green vegetables and in colored fruits.

Vitamin E is widely available in many foods: meats, nuts,

Zinc is in meats, shellfish, nuts and legumes, like peas.

Copper is in shellfish, nuts and organ meats.

He has said nothing about food or drink as being a cause of this. I drink two cups of coffee a day. I can’t tell any difference on the days I drink it or on the days I don’t.

ANSWER: Moderate amounts of caffeine have little effect on the heart. Two to four cups of coffee a day shouldn’t affect your heartbeat. However, if a person is quite sensitive to caffeine, then that person should abstain from coffee.

There appears not to be any relationship between coffee drinking and artery hardening, artery obstruction or heart pumping. Heart attacks and strokes are no more frequent in coffee drinkers than in those who never touch it. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column

• Be sure to comb the leftovers from back-to-school sales.

Pick up supplies that will need to be replenished as the school year moves on. Also, there are many imaginative pencil cases that can double as travel jewelry and makeup bags. Often you can pick up several at a good price.

• “Just after Labor Day, our family starts to think about who will host holiday dinners and such. We do it in a lottery. Whoever just hosted is exempt if they want to be. The rest of those who’d like to host a holiday event put their names in a pot and we pick out names. The events are the usuals, like Christmas and Thanksgiving, but also a cookie-making party and the children’s party.

It’s better than one person always having to do it, or always getting to do it.” -- E.D. in Massachusetts • If you’re getting your outdoor furniture ready for storage, here’s a great cleaning idea. Load it all in the back of a truck, take it to a self-serve car wash and clean with the pressure hoses. Let dry and it’s ready.

• “Dust books with a vacuum assist! I put the leg of a panty hose over my vacuum wand and secure it tightly.

Then I dust my bookshelves, holding the wand close by to suck up the dust that gets disturbed. It’s less messy, I think. I still dust from the top down.” -- L.K. in Ohio • To make your own disinfecting wipes, cut paper towels into four squares each. Saturate with a half alcohol, half water mix and store in a plastic freezer bag or a diaperwipe container. You can use these to clean telephones and doorknobs during cold and flu season.

SOLD HOLLYWOOD -- A little more than a year ago, I attended the 25th anniversary party for former film star Zsa Zsa Gabor and Prince Fredric Von Anhalt. She was bed-ridden and never appeared, but friends and celebrities still came to toast the Hollywood royalty.

I had a chance to chat there with the late Phyllis Diller, who left us on Aug. 20 at the age of 95. I recounted our meeting many years ago in New York just after she appeared on

20803 Biscayne Boulevard, suite 303, Aventura Fl to allow all the paintings of Zsa Zsa to be put back for the party. Afterward, everything was switched again with portraits of Liberace for the final two weeks of shooting. On one shooting day, Michael Douglas visited with Zsa-Zsa in her bedroom, and they talked about the old Hollywood.

Apparently, the footage shot by director Steven Soderbergh is so good that HBO is reconsidering showing it on HBO first and may release it to theaters instead.

The film also has Dan Aykroyd as Liberace’s long-time manager, Rob Lowe as the plastic surgeon who made over Liberace’s boy toy to look like a young Liberace, and Debbie Reynolds as his mother, Frances. On the plus side, for Prince Frederic, he was given a small role and shot three days on the picture.

Funny footnote: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas’ wife, said in an interview: “I caught Michael trying on

“The Ed Sullivan Show.” As I took her picture, she asked me, “How do you like the boa I’m wearing?” It looked kind of ratty, but I said it was nice, to which she added, “I caught it under the sink this morning.” She was a very funny lady, on- or off-screen.

This year, Prince Frederic again invited friends to celebrate their anniversary, but there was a marked difference. Their Bel Air mansion has had a $300,000 face-lift, thanks to the Michael Douglas/Matt Damon HBO film, “Behind the Candelabra,” using the house and grounds as Liberace’s ornate mansion. To accomplish the makeover, they brought in two priceless chandeliers and Liberace’s grand piano from the Liberace museum in Las Vegas. They put in new ‘60s white shag carpets, repainted the garden room and put silver metallic wallpaper on the ceilings. The pool was redone with a large “L” on the bottom with tile piano keys all around the pool. All of Zsa Zsa’s portraits had to be replaced with paintings of Liberace.

The film shot for a week, then shooting was suspended

•If you’re considering having a child sometime in the near future, you might want to consider this: It’s said that the cost of caring for a newborn during its first year of life is more than $6,000.

• In 1986, actor and director Clint Eastwood took on a new and unfamiliar role: political candidate. He ran for mayor of Carmel, Calif. He defeated the incumbent mayor in a landslide, and he kept the position for two years. His salary? A whopping $200 per week.

• In the early days of motion pictures, Will H. Hays became known as the “Czar of Hollywood.” He presided over the earliest incarnation of the MPAA, charged with ensuring the morality of movies. Some of the changes the so-called “Hays Office” insisted upon were removing the image of a cow’s udder from a Walt Disney cartoon; and removing any direct reference to adultery in the 1935 adaptation of the Tolstoy novel “Anna Karenina” -- despite the fact that Anna’s affair is at the heart of the novel.

I have been asked, many times, over the past several years of handling foreclosure defense cases, by friends, family, and other attorneys, what is foreclosure defense?  There is routinely a follow up of, â&#x20AC;&#x153;arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you just trying to buy people time, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that all you can do?â&#x20AC;?  Sometimes helping a client obtain extra time is their goal and as a lawyer, the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals and best interest is critical.   However, for me, foreclosure defense is so much more.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about justice!

Our nation is a nation of laws, to be applied equally to all. The words â&#x20AC;&#x153;and justice for allâ&#x20AC;? are not just a part of our Pledge of Allegiance.  They are heartfelt principals that people have fought and died to help achieve and preserve. During the run up to the financial crisis, some banks turned into sophisticated con-artists.  They pushed home loans to people they knew, or should have known, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford them.  Then they bundled those loans together into Wall Street securities and paid off rating agencies to rate them as AAA, good as gold, when behind the scenes they were calling them â&#x20AC;&#x153;sacks of cr_ _â&#x20AC;? and placing bets against them so they could collect even more money when they knew these securities would fail.  These banks sold their toxic investments to everyone and anyone, local governments, foreign governments, individuals, and pension funds of our citizens, retirees, veterans, and more.  In the end, as most of the Wall Street insiders knew they would, these â&#x20AC;&#x153;securitiesâ&#x20AC;? failed.  The big banks made billions selling them and billions more when they collapsed, collecting on their bets.  To add insult to injury, when the companies that backed these devious wagers couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay off the Wall Street gamblers, the US taxpayers and Main Street stepped in to bail them out.  Then, if you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t upset about that, what happened next should tip the scales.  In the year after the bailout and the crisis, Wall Street executives took in more money in bonuses and salaries then they did in any year during the heyday.

So for me, foreclosure defense is partly my way, one case at a time, of holding Wall Street and the banks that committed these crimes accountable.  This is the civil rights movement of our time.  You and I are being asked to sit on the back of the bus while others with big power and influence get a free ride in the front row.  I use foreclosure defense and every state and federal law and rule of procedure I can to expose fraud, false documents, â&#x20AC;&#x153;robo-signingâ&#x20AC;?, servicing errors, misapplication of payments, evidentiary violations, discovery violations, illegal collection practices and more to ultimately create leverage.  In some cases, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough to make the phone ring with a fair offer on the other side.  In others, I also need to prepare a Brokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Price Opinion and educate the bank as to the true fair market

Broward Community & Family Health Centers Receive NCQA Recognition First in Broward to receive Recognition

[Hollywood, FL] August 28,2012 - Broward Community & Family Health Centers (BCFHC) has achieved the first National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Recognition in Broward County.

BCFHC’s NCQA Recognition is a part of the Transforming Our Community’s Health (TOUCH) initiative to increase high quality clinical and preventative services for Broward County residents.

On August 19, all three ofBCFHC’s primary care locations were given Patient­ Centered Medical Home NCQA Recognition. The Recognition showcases high quality health care standards for patients.

Rosalyn Frazier, Chief Executive Officer of BCFHC, says the Recognition denotes a higher level of exceptional care to patients.

“This process establishes protocols that would make patient visits more efficient,” Frazier says. “Our new patient portal allows electronic communication between patients and the BCFHC team.”

According to the NCQA, Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition standards “provide a roadmap for making powerful change in how clinicians provide care. Clear specific criteria show clinicians how to organize care around patients and work in teams to coordinate, track and improve care.” The standards raise the bar for quality health care. BCFHC has been recognized as a quality

you get. Beware of paying extra for the service, however.

The source of robocalls changes so often that it’s not worth the expense to keep blocking numbers.

The problem with robocalls has gotten so bad that the FTC is going to hold a summit in October to explore how to trace and stop these illegal calls, as well as Caller ID spoofing. Illegal spoofing services provide the means to make calls that appear to originate from another number or an “unknown” number. The danger is that calls can appear to come from people or businesses you know.

Hang Up on Robocalls If you get an automated recorded-message call (called a robocall), it’s likely a scam. And it’s illegal. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re on the Do Not Call registry -automated sales calls are illegal.

In one month alone earlier this year, 212,000 complaints were lodged with the Federal Trade Commission, with billions of robocalls being targeted by the FTC in the past two years.

If you get a robocall, your best bet is to hang up. Don’t press any numbers, don’t speak -- just hang up. If you press any button at all, it means there’s a human at your end, and it surely will result in even more robocalls to your number.

The FTC has put two new videos on its website (ftc.gov/robocalls) to let consumers know how to handle these calls: “Robocalls Gone Wrong” and “What to Do If You Get a Robocall.”

It takes time, but report the call at www.donotcall.gov or by phone at 1-888-382-1222. If your phone-service package includes call blocking, then block any robocall numbers

The key is to assess each call that appears to come from a person or business you’re familiar with. For example, if you get a call supposedly from your bank and it asks for your account information, be suspicious and hang up.

The bank already has your information, and the call is likely a scam. Be leery of giving out any information to anyone who calls.

Unfortunately, it’s still legal for political candidates and charities to call you, even with robocalls, and even if you’re on the Do Not Call list.

One additional warning: The robocall software is available on the Internet and has been used to perpetuate pranks.

Audrey Hepburn before my camera. I cannot lift her to greater heights. She is already there. I can only record; I cannot interpret her. There is no going further than who she is. She has achieved the ultimate portrait.” Indeed.

Hepburn was more than an actress and international beauty. She worked tirelessly as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and was directly involved in numerous charities, especially those that aided children. It was this devotion to helping the poorest children of the Third World that set her apart from many others in the entertainment industry.

--Ask permission: It’s very important to ask a dog’s owner first if you can pet the dog. Not every dog reacts the same way to strangers petting them, and the owner will know if the dog is friendly and if it is safe for you to approach.

--Where to pet: Once the dog has sniffed your hand, pet it gently under the chin or on the chest.

--Approach calmly: If the owner says yes, make a fist, extend your hand slowly to the dog, and let it sniff the back of your hand. Dogs recognize people by scent, so letting it sniff your hand lets the dog become familiar with you.

“Audrey Hepburn: A Charmed Life” shows why her style, poise, talent and inner warmth continue to fascinate, even two decades after her death.

“Audrey Hepburn: A Charmed Life”

by Robyn Karney (Arcade Publishing, $24.95) Reviewed by Larry Cox

After winning acclaim on Broadway, she won an Oscar for her film performance in “Roman Holiday.” She quickly became an international celebrity, and throughout the 1950s and ‘60s was box-office gold. Three of her most popular film roles were in “Sabrina,” “The Nun’s Story” and “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” -- all Oscar nominations.

Although Hepburn died of cancer at her home in Switzerland in 1993, during her lifetime she left an indelible mark on our modern culture.

In a new biography, Robyn Karney, editor of “Who’s Who in Hollywood,” captures all of the delicate, intangible facets of this remarkable woman. The 177 photographs chosen by Karney are stunning. Photographer Richard Avedon summed up the elegance of Hepburn when he said, “I am, and forever will be, devastated by the gift of

Audrey Hepburn was born Eda van Heemstra in Brussels, Belgium, in 1929. Despite a rather complicated childhood in Nazi-occupied Holland, she trained as a ballet-dancer in Amsterdam and later at the Marie Rambert school in London, where she made both her film and stage debuts in 1948. But it wasn’t until three years later in the Broadway production of “Gigi” that she truly hit her stride.
