Aww... i love that film, tho it make me a bit sad too

Yes, Holly is a somewhat sad character. But Audrey really added a complexity to her that you don't see in the book.

Ms. Hepburn would have been so happy with this...

School built with Hepburn dress proceeds
By MANIK BANERJEE, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 18 minutes ago

A school in eastern India built with money raised in the auction of Audrey Hepburn's iconic black dress was inaugurated Wednesday by French author and philanthropist Dominique Lapierre.

Some 200 children will be able to attend the school in Bishnupur, a village nearly 30 miles south of Calcutta, the capital of the West Bengal state.
"I am very happy that my efforts are fructifying. Things are changing with more and more children going to school," Lapierre told cheering students.
The school is one of the 15 to be built in India's West Bengal state with $807,000 paid by a phone bidder for the dress, sold at Christie's auction house in London in December.

Hepburn wore the dress for her role as eccentric Manhattan socialite Holly Golightly in the 1961 film adaptation of Truman Capote's novel. The movie's opening scenes show her character wearing the dress as she emerges from a taxi with a brown-bag breakfast to gaze at diamonds and luxury goods in the storefront windows of Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue.

Lapierre had received the dress as a gift from designer Hubert de Givenchy. Proceeds from the sale went to the City of Joy Foundation, run by Lapierre to help India's poor.

Books by Lapierre include "The City of Joy," set in Calcutta, and "Freedom at Midnight," about India's independence from Britain in 1947.

That's great. Audrey Hepburn would be so pleased to know her iconic movie and fashion status has helped these children go to school.

I am making plans to go to Rome this summer and it reminded me of how much I love Roman Holiday. It is one of my favorite movies. I actually got it at a garage sale in perfect condition for $1. I was so stoked about that!

School Built With Hepburn Dress Proceeds
Feb 28, 12:35 PM EST



BISHNUPUR, India -- A school in eastern India built with money raised in the auction of Audrey Hepburn's iconic black dress was inaugurated Wednesday by French author and philanthropist Dominique Lapierre.

Some 200 children will be able to attend the school in Bishnupur, a village nearly 30 miles south of Calcutta, the capital of the West Bengal state.

"I am very happy that my efforts are fructifying. Things are changing with more and more children going to school," Lapierre told cheering students.
The school is one of 15 to be built in the state with $807,000 paid by high bidder Givenchy, now a division of LVMH, at an auction in December at Christie's in London.

Lapierre had received the dress as a gift from designer Hubert de Givenchy. The company repurchased it to support both the City of Joy Foundation, run by Lapierre to help India's poor, and the heritage of the brand.

Hepburn wore the elegant sleeveless sheath for her role as eccentric Manhattan socialite Holly Golightly in the 1961 film adaptation of Truman Capote's novel. The movie's opening scenes show her character wearing the dress as she emerges from a taxi with a brown-bag breakfast to gaze at diamonds and luxury goods in the storefront windows of Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue.

Books by Lapierre include "The City of Joy," set in Calcutta, and "Freedom at Midnight," about India's independence from Britain in 1947.

Bruna is gorgeous !

someone said this in bruna's thread and i couldnt help but agree.
does anyone else see it?

 

[Ziegfeld Girl]

^ To be honest, I don't see it at all. Nevertheless Bruna is a very pretty girl.

 

[cosmogrl5]

uberQuirkiness, I am sooooo jealous! I wish that I could pull off the Sabrina hairstyle, but there is just no way with my blonde hair that needs to be straightened every morning. I have small bone structure, but I still don't think it would work.

I see a similarity- the face shape and the nose/ mouth
