( Marilyn was adored by the literati of New York, especially by Carson McCullers, through whom she met Capote. They became friends and were a natural match - two misfit runaways from ramshackle towns with absentee mothers and a longing to be loved. They both found love and acceptance in New York. )

~ Marilyn was the perfect choice for the role of Holly Golightly, when Capote’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” began production.
Capote who sold the film rights of his novella to Paramount Studios, wanted Marilyn to play Holly Golightly, whom he had described perfectly in the book. He had Marilyn in mind for the leading role, she even performed two scenes for him.
“She was terrifically good” Capote later said.
( In the end she didn’t take the part because her acting coach didn’t think it was the type of character she should be playing!
Either way, Capote wasn’t at all thrilled with the studio’s choice of Audrey Hepburn, saying “Paramount double-crossed me in every way and cast Audrey!” ~
– “Marilyn was always my first choice to play the girl, Holly Golightly.”
– Truman Capote
