Editorial Review

Audrey Hepburn has always been associated with grace, style, and divine humanitarianism. To honor her, Paramount Pictures and Mattel Toys created the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" collection, featuring Hepburn as trés chic Holly Golightly. Hepburn's elegance and femininity was captured in each detail, from her large doe eyes to her immaculate sense of style. The 11.5-inch doll comes in a sleeveless, sequin-encrusted shift of satin-like fabric, with a matching swing overcoat. There is a pretty pink bow at her waist and she's simply dripping in doll-sized pearls. She sports a rhinestone tiara, which only Audrey could wear with a day outfit and not look overdone. White gloves, pink heels, nude pantyhose, and a pink clutch complete her ensemble. This collector's item comes with a display stand, a two-year warranty valid in the United States, and a Certificate of Authenticity approved by the Audrey Hepburn Estate.

Not only will collectors be rewarding themselves by purchasing such a charming doll, they will have a unique opportunity to continue Audrey's philanthropic traditions. Purchasers can donate at least $1 to the Audrey Hepburn Children's Funds' "A Dollar Makes a Difference" program. A donation form is supplied in the box. --Diane Beall

4.0 out of 5 stars Isn't it about time?, September 10, 1999

This review is from: Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's Pink PrincessTM Fashion (Toy)

This Barbie doll should make it to everyone's christmas list this year, young and old. The role models that exist today are wonderful, but let's not forget about the heritage of the women of the past. Audrey Hepburn is a personal hero, I have this Barbie sitting next to my desk at home as a reminder of what is old and beautiful and classic. Nothing will make me happier than buying this doll for my own daughter someday and opening up her eyes to the possibilities of past, present and future for women. Thank you Mattel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two classic beauties meet!, July 2, 1999

Every little girl grows up loving Barbie - regardless of how PC it is - she's pretty, she drives nice cars, and she's had every job in the world, from waitress on roller skates, to cocktail lounge singer, to astronaut. How cool is that?

Somewhere along the way, we outgrow playing with Barbie's (although most women I know admit to saving them in the attic somewhere) and we graduate to bigger and better idols - Jackie O, Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn - women with grace, poise, dedication, and a timeless beauty. We learn a little about personal beauty and a lot about life from these women.

Now we can enjoy the best of both worlds - a little girls' dream of beauty and life, and a real womans appreciation for how it really works - in this beautiful statuesque doll.

Not a great "play" item, I must admit - something for mom more than for daughter, but a true piece of history and a treasure to own. I keep mine on the mantel like an Oscar.
