Breakfast at Syphilitic Tiffany’s
She doesn’t ever find Cat. She doesn’t end up with the writer. She was full of STDs and possibly a baby. She was a racist whore (but I’m not hating). This was the real Holiday Golightly from Truman Capote’s short story, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Amazing how Audrey Hepburn was able to make her seem so… classy and full of life.
Negatory. She was like Snooki but with a classier wardrobe. She even possibly banged some African carpenter before the story even starts! She was charming and in some strange way, very loyal, if nothing else, to her own set code (She didn’t ever rat on Sally Tomato. Good girl.)

I will say this: Audrey Hepburn captured the way the character Holly Golightly spoke perfectly.
Example:
Oh, don’t think for a second, my dear, that I loathed the story, on the contrary, I absolutely adored the story itself. It’s just that, well, it’s just that the story line seemed to be, oh, I don’t know, muddied, by all of the talk of negroes and such things. You see, I absolutely, — do hold my glass while I light this cigarette, darling—- I just think that if you are going to write a story you ought to be true, don’t you? well, I do. And — what day is it anyway?— Nevermind. Where was I? Oh, yes, I think that Audrey Hepburn made the story line absolutely squeaky clean which is understandable considering it was a movie in Old Hollywood and they simply couldn’t have allowed such talk in the theatre. Anyhow, you should know, and please don’t be cross with me for revealing this, but you should know that in actuality, in the original story, Holly Golightly let’s the cat go in the alley and actually says, “FUCK OFF!” to get the cat to leave. Imagine that! Imagine Miss Audrey Hepburn saying that out loud? How delightfully delicious.
This narrative and her fast talking character really did make the story go VERY quickly. If you want to read it, you could do it in an afternoon, easy. It was originally printed as a short story in Esquire back in like the 40’s. Truman Capote’s flaming ass rolled with like a gabillion socialites in NYC who all think they were the one inspiration for Holly Golightly but in actuality he based the character on ALL of them trifling hookers and even his mother who was from po’ white trash in the south and married up into the lavish NYC lifestyle.
Boom. I’ll do all the research for you. You just pick out the tiara you want to wear when you get the mean reds.
So… if you’re obsessed with the character of Holly Golightly, and too lazy to read the book, you’ll be happy to know that her personality is exactly as it is written. Just sluttier.
