I just learned that Andy Williams died today. His song Moon River was one of Papa and Mama's favorite songs and among the 'old songs' they would play, this was one of my favorites! This song always gives me goosebumps because of Andy's fantastic voice. Years later, I read Breakfast at Tiffany's (written by Truman Capote, one of my favorite gay icons) and bought its DVD version. Well, the Holly Golightly in the book is a bit different from the Audrey Hepburn I saw in the movie. Audrey's Holly just had way too much class than Truman envisioned in his heroine.
