This photo received on April 26, 2013 courtesy of RR Auction, shows a rare 86-page typed manuscript of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with hand annotations by Truman Capote which sold for $306,667 USD on April 25, 2013, according to Amherst, New Hampshire-based auction house RR Auction. The manuscript provides a rare chance to visit the mind of a literary master, whose most influential, last second change to the manuscript was to rewrite his heroine’s name from the dreary Connie Gustafson the now iconic Holly Golightly. Capote culled his inspiration for his heroine from his close friendships with New York society's finest, including heiress and designer Gloria Vanderbilt and Oona O'Neill, daughter of American playwright Eugene O'Neill and wife of Charlie Chaplin. The novella's prose style prompted Norman Mailer to call Capote "the most perfect writer of [his] generation," adding that he "would not have changed two words in Breakfast at Tiffany's." = RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT " AFP PHOTO / RR AUCTION/" - NO MARKETING NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS =
