      Kenna, I am writing a nostalgia article about the year 1993. From my research, I learned that Audrey Hepburn passed away that year.

   Gregory, I love coincidences. I remember when she passed away, such a sad day, a beautiful person through and through.

      Kenna, did you ever see Breakfast at Tiffany's? Was that Audrey Hepburn's most famous film?

         Gregory, Yes! Truman Capote story is whimsical and lovely and written for the screen by George Axelrod. Blake Edwards masterly directed with Audrey Hepburn (of course,) Patricia O'Neal, Buddy Edsen, George Peppard, and Mickey Rooney, who is hilarious.  The movie was released on my birthday in 1961! Moon River, by Harry Mancini, is one of my husband's favorite songs. 
         
         Roman Holiday is still my favorite Audrey Hepburn movie.

            Kenna, I’ve never seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but I’ve always been fascinated by the uniqueness of the title. (I didn’t realize that it was based on a Truman Capote book.) I see that the film was added to the National Film Registry back in 2012. I just watched a very brief clip (Best Party Ever) of the film on YouTube. There is a party going on with a lady with a big purple hat. Funny! I haven’t heard of Moon River in years. Is that song from the film? My dad really liked Moon River.

               Mancini wrote Moon River for Breakfast at Tiffany's. Hepburn sings the song on camera while playing a ukulele, beautiful. The movie is a gem. You can watch it on Netflix.

   Netflix sounds like a good option. From what little I saw on YouTube, it does look like a “gem” of a film. Audrey Hepburn is singing the version of Moon River that I found on YouTube. The song has to 8 million views. Wow!
