Can anyone who has read the novel tell me how Holly is described there? What does she look like? I know that Capote wanted Marilyn Monroe, and there is such a difference between the two women: Hepburn was brunette, and skinny. Monroe was blonde, curvy, and certainly more sexual attractive, so I wonder if she is curvy and blonde in the novel?
Martin Scorsese IS the best
Read it. It's nice and short and way better than the movie.
shareShe´s skinny and short-haired, with big eyes, and uneven blond hair, coloured by herself. I somehow imagine her as a Jean Seberg type. Audrey is beautifull, but is too classy and old for that part - she had to be 19.
shareAudrey is perfect for the part, she IS Holly Golightly. She's described by narrator as looking between 16 and 30. At the beginning of the story, she is nearly 19, by the end, she's 20. She's disorganized and narrator is amazed at how well put together she looks in spite of this. Blonde with various red, brown and yellow self colored streaks, hazel eyes with green, brown and blue specks. Skinny.
shareIf they were going to make her older by using AH why not at least do the hair right?
