She was born Audrey Elaine Golden on June 26, 1933, in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut, the daughter of Abraham H. Golden and Fannie (Dodek) Golden. She graduated B.S. in economics from Radcliffe College in 1955. Then she worked as a securities analyst. She married Herbert L. Hochberg, and they had three daughters. They lived in Scarsdale, Westchester County, New York.

She became active in the anti-war movement triggered by the Vietnam War, and entered politics as a Democrat. She was a member of the Westchester County Legislature from 1972 to 1992; and a member of the New York State Assembly from 1993 to 2000, sitting in the 190th, 191st, 192nd and 193rd New York State Legislatures.[1] In March 2000, she announced that she would not seek re-election later that year.[2]

She died on June 8, 2005, in NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, of uterine cancer.[3]
