Good one, Kerry. I'll try this one.
It's been one of those weeks.
Oh you so dare to tempt me with Audrey? I will be back hopefully today with a response. She is my favorite afterall. I used to have a blue healer named Audrey and I still on a cat named Bogart. I love the silver screen. A side note. Did you know that in the movie the guy was straight but in the book it is assumed by many that he is gay? I have not read it myself but its what I have been told.
I always thought him semi-autobiographical for Capote himself, so it would make sense... and I recall a reference to Hepburn some where along the line, Robb :)
