Background
Audrey Hepburn continues an active acting career while serving as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Her aid work takes her to UN-funded child-protection programs across Africa, South Asia, Central America, and South America, generally under UN, local-government, or private-security protection. 132
Henry Brown becomes her assistant and bodyguard in 1991. His work includes driving, schedule management, assisting at formal events, accompanying her on UNICEF trips, and helping maintain her Swiss home and garden. 132 473
During a return visit to Somalia, she becomes pale, sweaty, and physically unwell; Henry detects her abnormal vital signs and calls for medical aid. Her itinerary is canceled so she can receive further examination. 177 Henry later accompanies her during treatment and deliberately limits himself to a caretaker's role rather than attempting to act as her physician. 185
After more than three uninterrupted months of UNICEF travel, she is ordered to take a two-week break because peacekeeping resources cannot support the planned schedule. She returns with Henry to her home in Trochena, Switzerland. 142 143
Following her death, Henry declines any inheritance or gifts under her will, stating that the memories of his time as her assistant matter more to him than money or property. 202
