The Female Hermes in Breakfast at Tiffany’s examines author Willa Cather’s stories written and set in Greenwich Village (and later written in nearby West Village) as forerunners to Breakfast at Tiffany’s—beginning further down 5th Avenue in 1912. Audrey Hepburn’s role in the movie came to fulfill those first literary visions in a much different path for the feminine in culture.

My heart map of Greenwich Village, 2010
“How Willa Cather’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s Began in the Village (1908), Falling in Love with John Mayer in 2010”
A romance on top of a romance, a movie across a century, and a reality of falling in love and having the sweetest, most quiet relationship with John Mayer.
This is where writing screenplays at the time of first coming to know John became looking closer at the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the writer Willa Cather’s work which first developed right on Washington Square Park. My screenplay sequel “Dinner at Tiffany’s” which takes place “after the ending credits kiss” into what love actually is that I had worked on drafts for years, morphed into coming to know John there in NYC, and then the miracles that occurred spontaneously with Willa Cather’s writing right with what was happening, like a fountain of sculpted birds and Willa’s scene of the Madeleine and birds occurring when John first played “A Face to Call Home” at the Village Underground, about two blocks over from where Breakfast at Tiffany’s (“Coming, Aphrodite!”) was first set on Washington Square South; like walking into Willa’s photograph in 2008 into a camera shop on a street in front of a cathedral in Santa Fe exactly on the 500 year anniversary of Michelangelo painting my name on the Sistine Ceiling. That street scene would become the miracle of discovering what Audrey’s iconic opening street scene is actually doing, having its own miracles and telling across time. It was tremendous that it all converged into the very same thing–loving John across all this time since the first time I saw him, the movie, the art, revealing that Willa Cather is the actual author of Breakfast at Tiffany’s and that Audrey Hepburn was setting things right through her character and spirit.
The universe was showing me what love is when I struggled to write the draft.

The Female Hermes in Breakfast at Tiffany’s examines author Willa Cather’s stories written and set in Greenwich Village (and later written in nearby West Village) as forerunners to Breakfast at Tiffany’s—beginning further down 5th Avenue in 1912 when Willa sold her story “The Bohemian Girl” to McClure’s Magazine for their August issue at the Brevoort Hotel, just a block up from Washington Square Arch where her 1920 story “Coming, Aphrodite!” (and ‘breakfast at the Brevoort’) take place. Audrey Hepburn’s role in the movie in 1961, 49 years later, came to fulfill Willa’s first literary visions in a much different path for the feminine in culture.
Willa was showing how this different feminine endowed culture with that spirit and ultimately the roots she was examining gave it a different sense of place, America’s possibilities, with a real groundedness in this core of the feminine. It was structural in culture for Willa and would make all the difference.
Audrey Hepburn was a different kind of Being. Audrey was not seeking the spotlight, wealth, or fame. She never chased it; she never had to. It came to her. Audrey lit up the stage and screen naturally. She endures naturally. Literary agent Irving Lazar said that she never needed a press agent or publicist to push her to the public. One of the first invasions of WWII and one of the last places the invaders left was Audrey’s own neighborhood. It was if the atrocities of WWII had arrived for Audrey to witness firsthand. During this she gave herself diligently to daily study of ballet, when possible, with a vision of solo expression, a vibrant contrast of her beauty next to the brutal war surrounding her in The Netherlands.
Careful evidence shows that Truman Capote took Willa’s characters and turned them into a woman available for money, completely losing Willa’s intrepid vision of what she knew to be the elements for a completely different kind of embodiment. Audrey was this vision, and there’s a great deal of evidence that Audrey knew she was reclaiming Willa’s writing. In WWII Audrey watched as the newspapers were taken over by propaganda, the radios at first dictated, then forcibly removed from people’s homes so that they weren’t allowed to hear anything that wasn’t commissioned for the forcefulness for brain-washing, power, punishment, and control. Audrey witnessed as a child this pure evil destroying their families and homes without any sense of decency towards humanity. The invaders took the best for themselves while demanding to be seen as special. The resistance to that was deeply a part of Audrey’s spirit and deeply a part of the Dutch Resistance. As a young girl Audrey had secretly carried notes for the Dutch Resistance, and here she is in her gorgeous spirit surreptitiously in Breakfast at Tiffany’s doing it again.
One example of Audrey’s audaciousness shows she knew what she was doing when one can’t speak out against the climate of culture or mass belief as the Nazi regime was—most especially when it is as control of propaganda, even the entertainment industry’s. In Breakfast at Tiffany’s Holly and Paul are spending the day ‘doing things they’ve never done before,’ and in the five-and-dime Holly first puts on a dog mask, takes it off, and replaces it with a cat mask, looks over to Paul and he nods “yes,”and that is thing she’s going to “steal” (back) “to keep her hand in.” Those references come straight out of Willa’s “Coming, Aphrodite!”—and Audrey herself ‘keeping her hand in it.’ Willa’s Eden Bower decides to take a hot air balloon ride dangling off the bottom in place of the female model, something she’s never done before. In Willa’s story the cat is a dog living there on the Square in Greenwich Village. Audrey knew the terrorizing of a neighborhood and the suppression of life, and in her beauty Audrey in this scene is wearing an orange coat, the color of the Dutch Resistance, now boldly on a worldwide stage.
