Audrey Hepburn’s original working script for the 1961 movie “Breakfast at
Tiffany’s” sold Wednesday night at Christie’s in London for £632,750, or about
$847,000, appropriately enough to Tiffany & Co. The price was a high for any
film script offered at auction, according the London-based auction house.
The 140-page typescript, annotated by the actress, was one of more than 250
items from the private collection of Ms. Hepburn offered by her sons, Luca
Dotti and Sean Hepburn Ferrer, at a live auction at Christie’s. Her depiction
of the carefree, but stylish Manhattan bohemian, Holly Golightly, based on the
character in Truman Capote’s novel, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” is widely
recognized as Ms. Hepburn’s definitive role, for which she received an Academy
Award nomination for best actress.
I am almost certain that is more than Patricia Neal paid for George
Peppard
