Momma please stop cryin, I can’t stand the sound 
Your pain is painful and its tearin’ me down 
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed 
I told dad you didn’t mean those nasty things you
said 

You fight about money, bout me and my brother 
And this I come home to, this is my shelter

My mama she loves you, no matter what she says
its true 
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love

I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away 
Don’t wanna go back to that place, but don’t have
no choice, no way 
It ain’t easy growin up in World War III 
Never knowin what love could be, well I’ve seen 
I don’t want love to destroy me like it did my
family

For the first six years of his life, Audrey Hepburn’s youngest son didn’t realize his mom was a world-famous movie star. 

“To me, my mother was Audrey Dotti,” says Luca Dotti, whose father was Hepburn’s second husband, Andrea Dotti. “I never realized she was Audrey Hepburn. I didn’t know she was a movie star. She always looked at my father like he was the centre of attention.” 

Luca’s new book about his mom, Audrey at Home, features her favourite recipes, a collection of never-before-seen family photos, and a private side that few ever saw. Excerpted in this week’s issue of PEOPLE, it’s an intimate look at the Breakfast at Tiffany’s star, who preferred staying home to going out and simple plates of pasta to fancier foods. “She was a simple country girl” says Dotti. “Her favourite dish was spaghetti with tomato sauce.” 

As he writes in his book’s introduction, “Mum was adorable, of course, but I did not find her the least bit exciting.”  Dotti recalls how he was puzzled at 5 or 6 when journalists would ask him about “Audrey Hepburn.” “I’d say, ‘I don’t know who you are talking about. You must be mistaken. My mother is called Dotti,’ “ says Luca, a graphic artist and father of three who lives in Rome. “I didn’t know she was Audrey Hepburn until I was 6 or so.” 

Luca – who has an older brother, Sean Ferrer (from Audrey’s first marriage to Mel Ferrer) – discovered her movies when they had a family movie night and his father screened Love in the Afternoon. “Suddenly, there was my mother kissing Gary Cooper,” he recalls. “I remember perfectly because I was so embarrassed and I ran to my father and said, ‘Dad, this is serious. You should be upset. Mommy is kissing another man.’ So that explains how much I was aware that my mother could possibly be a movie star. I had no idea.”

Looking back, he says, his mother “wasn’t living her life as an icon. She didn’t live in a castle behind bars. She wasn’t driven in a limo. She was walking with her dog most of the time.” “She stayed true to herself throughout her life,” says Luca, who’s donating a percentage of the book’s proceeds to the Audrey Heburn Children’s Fund. “It shows in how she lived her life and her choice of recipes. She never wanted to overdo. She wasn’t interested in making fancy, important dishes. She preferred dishes that were easy to make and healthy for her kids.” 

“If you imagine my mother in fashion, she started with Givenchy and Valentino, but at that end of her life, she was happier in jeans and a T-shirt,” he notes. “It was the same in how she cooked at home. It was back to the basics. She didn’t have to impress anyone, really. It was what she loved and how she lived.” 

Keeping a toddler quiet on a packed train is no easy task – especially since such struggles can be met with disapproving tuts from impatient fellow passengers.

So single mother Samantha Welch was moved to tears when a generous stranger – impressed by her parenting of her three-year-old son Rylan – gave her £5 with a letter praising her as a ‘credit to her generation’.

The note said: ‘Have a drink on me. You are a credit to your generation, polite and teaching the little boy good manners.’

He signed off simply as ‘man on the train at table with glasses and hat. Have a lovely evening.’

The note went on: ‘PS I have a daughter your age… Hope when she has children she is as good a mother as you!’

Miss Welch, 23, had kept Rylan occupied by playing games and listening to music. He later fell asleep and when the train became busier she moved him on to her lap to free up a seat.

She said yesterday that she was ‘overwhelmed’ by the man’s gesture and has launched an appeal on Facebook to track him down so she can thank him in person.

She explained: ‘As he walked by he tapped me on the shoulder and said, “I think you’ve dropped this out of your bag,” handed me the note and got off.

‘I honestly couldn’t believe it when I read it. I read it about ten or twenty times, over and over trying to take it in.

She added: ‘He shows there are still good people out there and I want him to know I am truly grateful. We definitely do need more people like him – the world would be a great place.’

Miss Welch and Rylan were on a gruelling five and a half hour journey, which included changing trains – enough to test even the most placid child’s patience. She said: ‘He was good and there was no crying. It was quite exhausting for him but then he fell asleep with his head on my knee. The train was quite busy. A couple of people got on and were standing up and I offered to put him on my knee so they could have a seat.’

She had not really noticed the man until he gave her the note as he got off the train in Bristol, about an hour and half after she and Rylan had boarded in Birmingham. Miss Welch went on: ‘People look at you and judge you every day when you’re a single mum but getting that note made me feel special and proud. That might sound silly, but all I’m trying to do is make a better life for my son.

‘It really shocked me that there was money with the note, especially as money is tight for a lot of people these days.’ She has put the cash into her son’s savings account.

Miss Welch recently moved to Plymouth from Crewe, Cheshire, where she worked as an IT technician. She is currently looking for a similar job. She and Rylan had visited her sister in Crewe and changed trains in Birmingham on the way home.
