When I was around 11 or 12 years old I saw "Roman Holiday" for the first time. It was love at first sight and still my favorite film. She was sophisticated, charming, beautiful and graceful -this little pixie fairy that I wanted to be like. So neat looking, so different. I soon would see "Breakfast at Tiffany's" from Truman Capote's novella. (which I didn't get at the time, that the character Holly Golightly was a call girl, ($50.00 dollars to go to the powder room ha! ha! wink wink! - because I was well only 13 or so). I just thought she was this amazing city/party girl with a cool lifestyle in carefree New York City. Her blonde streaks, funny sayings and chic clothes. I so wanted to be her. And the most beautiful song I think by Henry Mancini, "Moon River"( which is still to this day one of my favorite songs). I've seen by now and also own all her movies and yes I admit to having a movie marathon from time to time. I never get tired of watching them. Her freshness and style still make her films modern and special. She just puts me in a great mood! I love how she lived her life and did such amazing work with her career and by helping others through her charity work. I could go on and on ... She was pure sweetness and simply Perfection. She is someone I look up to for fashion idea's, style and of course her essence . It's no wonder why she has so many fans! Here's to you Audrey!! Lovely Lady-
