Here, for the first time, Sam Wasson presents the woman behind the little black dress that rocked the nation in 1961. With delicious prose and considerable wit, Wasson delivers us from the penthouses of the Upper East Side to the pools of Beverly Hills presenting Breakfast at Tiffany’s as we have never seen it before-through the eyes of those who made it.Īudrey Hepburn is an icon like no other, yet the image many of us have of Hepburn-dainty, immaculate-is anything but true to life. With a cast of characters including Truman Capote, Edith Head, director Blake Edwards, and, of course, Hepburn herself, Wasson immerses us in the America of the late fifties, before Woodstock and birth control, when a not-so-virginal girl by the name of Holly Golightly raised eyebrows across the nation, changing fashion, film, and sex, for good. by Sam Wasson is the first ever complete account of the making of Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
