Breakfast at Tiffany's

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a short novel by Truman Capote, published in 1958. The story documents the life of a young woman, Holly Golightly, who is trying to find her place in the world when she meets "Fred" (who is without a name in the book, but christened "Paul Varjak" in the film).

In 1961, Breakfast at Tiffany's was made into a film (which tended to stray from the original book) starring Audrey Hepburn (as Holly Golightly), originally for Marilyn Monroe, and George Peppard, and directed by Blake Edwards. The script, by George Axelrod, was nominated for an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay.

A song from the film, "Moon River", by Henry Mancini, with lyrics by Johnny Mercer, became very popular.

In 1995, the band Deep Blue Something had a hit with a song called "Breakfast at Tiffany's". The song is about a crumbling relationship between two people with nothing in common except that they "both kinda liked" the film Breakfast at Tiffany's.
