From Glinda to Audrey: Lily Collins Lands Role of Hollywood Icon in Breakfast at Tiffany's Biopic
Ariana Grande recently made a return to acting with her role as Glinda in Wicked, sparking rumors that she might play Audrey Hepburn in an upcoming biopic. However, it was Lily Collins who landed the role of the Hollywood icon in a film about the making of Breakfast at Tiffany's. The movie is based on Sam Wasson's book Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's and the Dawn of the Modern Woman. Audrey Hepburn, a legendary figure of Hollywood's Golden Age, rose to fame with her starring role in Roman Holiday, which earned her an Oscar for Best Actress. Despite not being Truman Capote's first choice for Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hepburn's portrayal of Holly Golightly became iconic. The film was a commercial success, grossing $14 million on a $2.5 million budget. While there were rumors of Grande playing Hepburn, she denied them in interviews, expressing her admiration for old-Hollywood glamour and iconic figures like Hepburn and Monroe. The speculation about Grande playing Hepburn was put to rest when Lily Collins was cast in the role.
