I couldn't help but pass this along. Progressive Boink has a highly-subjective list of the 100 greatest characters of film, and Holly Golightly comes in 14th. Right above, um, Biggus Dickus.

The existence of an icon presumes timelessness, or at least duration comfortably in excess of Flavor of the Month.

And I think part of it, in Hepburn’s case, is accessibility: she wasn’t accessible, particularly, but the look, and the attitudes which came to be associated with it, were and are.

No dispute on Hepburn’s timeless qualities. I’m just wondering (and maybe this didn’t come across in my post) how that translates into countless “girl crushes” from such a cross-section of women.

For what it’s worth, I have always maintained that she was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. “The Nun’s Story” really set the hook in to me….maybe it was because I was in parochial school.

I can’t imagine the LBD ever going away. Fortunately.

No one. Audrey Hepburn had style and class in an era when those qualities were admired. There’s is no one like her. I really respected her when she gave up Hollywood to marry the man she loved and raise her children in privacy. And her work with the U.N. for children in her later years was wonderful, too.

And yeah, I still prefer a ‘little black dress’ when I have to dress up — they are timeless.
