Lily Collins to Play Audrey Hepburn in Biopic

0:00On March 23, Lily Collins is set to star as Audrey Hepburn in an upcoming biopic. The film draws from the book Fifth Avenue, 5 a.m., which explores Hepburn's role in breakfast at Tiffany's and its cultural impact. Collins shared the news on our Instagram stories back on February 23 after nearly 10 years in development. Sean Ferrer, Hepburn's 65-year-old son, expressed excitement about the casting. A fan of Collins from her work in Emily in Paris, he admitted he hasn't washed the latest season yet, joking it might be too much for him. That said, Ferrer has some reservations about the movie's approach. He knows the source material well, and worries it, centers too heavily on one famous photo of his mother, on Fifth Avenue, potentially lacking enough. Drama to Hold Interest Ferrer also shared a fun bit of Hollywood history. Marilyn Monroe was originally considered for the lead in breakfast at Tiffany's, but she passed, thinking it too close to her own life. Casting Hepburn instead created something fresh and unexpected.
