“….Born May 4th, 1929 in Belgium, Audrey,the daughter of a Dutch baroness and and English banker, would face many hardships throughout her life…. Today, Audrey Hepburn is still one of the loveliest stars of her time. With mesmerizing doe eyes and a spirited ever chic gamine style, she is a breath of fresh air as the vulnerable, but daring Holly Golightly in Paramount Picture’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. Wearing her signature black gown, opera length gloves, and chic sunglasses, Audrey as the enigmatic Holly, makes a breakfast on the sidewalk look like a natural thing to do. Audrey Hepburn touches our heart and brings a sophistication, innocence, grace, whimsy, and elegance to the definition of femininity.”
In Collector’s Encyclopedia of Barbie the followng descripton of the doll is given: : Celebrity Collection Audrey Hepburn Collection 1998 Black Evening Gown doll is the first in Mattel’s series of dolls and fashions that pay “tribute to the life and career of one of the world’s most beloved women” as she appeared as Holly Golightly in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The doll’s face is beautifully sculpted in Hepburn’s likeness. She wears a long sleeveless black gown, a white georgette stole, black opera gloves, a triple-strand faux pearl necklace, and a rhinestone tiara, and she comes with sun-glasses, a black handbag, and a coffee cup with Schrafft’s paper bag.”
I purchased the doll in 2004 at the Houston, Texas Doll Show.
