Anna Friel vows not to ‘do Hepburn impression’ in West End show
By ANISaturday, June 27, 2009
LONDON - Actress Anna Friel has pledged not to mirror “an Audrey Hepburn impression” in the West End show of Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
The former Brookside star, who bore a striking resemblance to Hepburn, swore to add an “edge” to the character of Holly Golightly in the new stage production.
“My Holly will have a lot more rough edges than Audrey’s,” The Sun quoted her as saying.
“One of the scary things at first for me was thinking, ‘Gosh, people will assume they’re coming to see an Audrey Hepburn impression’ and that won’t be happening,” she added.
The stage adaptation of Truman Capote’s 1958 novel is due to begin in September. (ANI)
