She's up all night drinking cocktails and breaking hearts. She's a shoplifter, a delight, a drifter, and a tease. She hasn't got a past. She doesn't want to belong to anything or anyone. Not to 'Rusty' Trawler, the blue-chinned, cuff-shooting millionaire man about women about town. Not to Salvatore 'Sally' Tomato, the Mafia sugar-daddy doing life in Sing Sing. Not to a starving writer. Not even to her one-eyed rag-bag pirate of a cat. One day Holly might find somewhere she belongs. Until then she's travelling.Did you know? Capote is thought to have based "Holly" on various real women including Gloria Vanderbilt, Oona Chaplin, Walter Matthau's wife, Carol Grace and his own mother.
Have you read the novella or seen the 1961 film adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn?
