![]() ![]() ![]() (HarperStudio, $19.99) thoroughly dissects those tightrope walks and others in a well-researched portrait of the making of the film Breakfast at Tiffany's. Harper's Bazaar had refused to publish the print version because of its bad language, and, for the 1961 film adaptation, Paramount Pictures couldn't determine how to protect Hepburn's gracious, domestic real-life image from the is-she-or-isn't-she-a-hooker status of the film's capricious heroine. Those weren't the only problems that had plagued Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's. Hepburn herself wasn't sure she should assume the role of Golightly, a pretty young thing just in from Tulip, Texas, who lives alone in an Upper East Side brownstone but absorbs the Manhattan high-life by riding on favors from wealthy men. ![]()
