Breakfast at Tiffany's, a 1961 romantic comedy film starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard, was directed by Blake Edwards and was based on the novella of the same name by Truman Capote.
Hepburn's portrayal of Holly Golightly as the naive, excentric woman is generally considered to be the actress' most memorable and identifiable role. She herself regarded it as one of her most challenging roles.
Breakfast at Tiffany's is the most memorable romantic films of all time, a classic fashion style, and the most popular and reproduced theme song in cinema history. Truly it is in a league of its own.
"I was nothing like her, but I felt I could 'act' Holly. I knew the part would be a challenge, but I wanted it anyway. I always wonder if I risked enough on that one. I should have been a little more outrageous. But at the time, as a new mother, I was about as wild as I could be. If only I were a Method player, huh? But the fact is, I didn't really believe in The Method. I believed in good casting. And I'm still not sure about Holly and me..." (Audrey Hepburn)
