Breakfast at Tiffany's

Stylish, mysterious and wild, the impeccably dressed mistress of reinvention known as Holly Golightly is Truman Capote’s most iconic gift to pop culture. Born Lulamae Barnes in rural Texas, Golightly’s easy to sum up (The Hollywood Reporter once pegged her as an “amoral socialite gold digger who charms and seduces everyone around her”) but Capote’s 1958 novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s skirts the topic of her questionable profession. Texas Public Radio revisits Blake Edwards’ 1961 Oscar-winning adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn as the Givenchy-clad gamine who popularized the term “little black dress.”
