I had forgotten all about that movie. I must try and find it again as I remember enjoying it a lot. It's amazing how to this day, Audrey Hepburn in that film is still seen (at least by older people) as the epitome of cool for women. Such screen presence. It's uncanny how the camera "loves" some people for some reason, which seems to transcend physical attractiveness alone.
Actually Truman Capote based his character off of Sally Bowles, not so much the version we are familiar with from the Broadway show/Liza Minelli movie, but from the Christopher Isherwood writing from his time in Berlin.
Which makes Dylan Mulvaney's transformation into Audrey 'Hepburn' all the more ironic. It's meta-closeting.

Capote’s early short stories leave me unnerved, with a little shudder, in the best way possible.
Truman Capote wanted Marilyn Monroe to play Holly Golightly. That would have been an entirely different movie.
