We don’t know a single person in our circle who hasn’t watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s (if you happen to be one of them, fix that immediately!). A beautiful, romantic, emotional picture will not leave anyone indifferent.
The film owes its success to the one and only Audrey Hepburn. The interesting thing is that the actress and her character Holly Golightly are two opposites who are such opposites that they would definitely not like each other in life.
However, Audrey really wanted such a character and often thanked the filmmakers for this unique opportunity. But few people know that the author of the novel, Truman Capote, did not want to see Hepburn in the role of Golightly.
So what was he dreaming about? Truman was certain that a film adaptation of his work should feature… Marilyn Monroe! The writer was adamant and the script was even adapted for the main Hollywood blonde.
In principle, no one in the team doubted that Monroe would ideally cope with the role of a charming provincial woman looking for happiness in New York. Marilyn was already ready to agree to the shooting, but her friend and mentor Lee Strasberg dissuaded her at the last minute. The man was sure that the role of a narrow-minded woman who chooses money, not love, would damage Marilyn’s reputation.
After the blonde refused, the Paramount studio almost immediately approved Audrey Hepburn. And this despite the fact that Capote was categorically against it and tried to prevent it until the last moment.
If he had seen the result beforehand, we think he would have been the first to run for Audrey. The actress masterfully coped with the role, but Marilyn, according to many, would spoil the picture, despite all her charm and charm. Hepburn added artistry to the film, replacing intentional sexuality with charisma. And what do you think?
