Audrey Hepburn can be an icon like no other, yet the image many of us have of Audrey - dainty, immaculate - is not true to life. Here, for the very first time, Sam Wasson presents the woman behind the little dark dress that rocked the nation in 1961. The first complete profile of the making of Breakfast time at Tiffany's, Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M. shows little-known factual statements about the cinema basic: Truman Capote desperately required Marilyn Monroe for the best role; director Blake Edwards filmed multiple endings; Hepburn herself experienced very conflicted about controlling the assignments of mother and movie star. With a vibrant cast of people including Truman Capote, Edith Mind, Givenchy, "Moon River" composer Henry Mancini, and, of course, Hepburn herself, Wasson immerses us in the America of the past due fifties before Woodstock and contraceptive, whenever a not-so-virginal female by the name of Holly Golightly raised eyebrows across the country, changing fashion, film, and intimacy for good. Indeed, social touchstones like Gender and the City owe a debt of gratitude to Breakfast time at Tiffany's. With this meticulously researched jewel of a booklet, Wasson provides us from the penthouses of the Upper East Aspect to the pools of Beverly Hills, presenting Breakfast time at Tiffany's as we have never seen it before - through the eye of those who managed to get. Written with delightful prose and sizeable wit, Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M. shines new light on the beloved film and its own incomparable star.
