Today marks the 59th anniversary of the release of Breakfast at Tiffany's! Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 American romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards, written by George Axelrod, adapted from Truman Capote's 1958 novella of the same name. This theatrical film was released by Paramount Pictures on October 5, 1961, grossing about $14 million on a $2.5 million budget. At the 34th Academy Awards, the film won Best Original Score and Best Original Song for "Moon River."
The central theme of Breakfast at Tiffany's that we can all learn from, is that "nothing bad can ever happen to you." Always remain positive and do your best and good things will come. The main character played by Audrey Hepburn is Holly Golightly who is a very sassy women in her words and lifestyle. Whom is also a major fashion icon who went through various life breakdowns. With her sass, she knew it was just a way of life to get what you want and to not get "stuck in a cage." She has a strong need for security, safety and seeking a new home throughout the film.
I had a fun time conducting a themed shoot for Breakfast at Tiffany's with Korrina Smith modeling/channeling Holly Golightly played by Audrey Hepburn. I gathered a few of my favorite quotes from the movie as well as a few from Audrey Hepburn and put my own little twist on it.
I hope you enjoy my story!
