Major Roles Rejected by Famous Actors
Marilyn Monroe – ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’
When Truman Capote released his acclaimed novella, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, it didn’t take long for movie studios to swoop in and option the story for a film. Audrey Hepburn eventually landed the lead role of Holly Golightly, but author Capote had another icon in mind.
Marilyn Monroe was originally attached to the film, but Monroe decided to turn down the role because her agents warned her that playing Golightly could be bad for her image off screen.
