Who’s Who in Breakfast at Tiffany’s — And Why You Should Watch It on the Big Screen
An Iconic Cast, a Historic Theatre, and a Weekend You Won’t Forget
You’ve heard the song. You’ve seen the image. But have you really met the stars of Breakfast at Tiffany’s?
This August 16, you’re invited to take a step back in time at The Russell Theatre in downtown Maysville as we bring this timeless film back to the big screen—right where it belongs.
Sponsored by Moon River Bed and Breakfast, this special screening invites you to meet (or meet again) the stars that made Breakfast at Tiffany’s unforgettable.
Who You’ll Be Seeing (on the Screen!)
Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly
The ultimate style icon and free spirit. Audrey’s performance as Holly—quirky, complex, and heartbreakingly human—earned her a permanent place in cinematic history. From the opening scene with coffee and croissants in front of Tiffany’s to her bittersweet farewell in the rain, Holly is a character you’ll never forget.
George Peppard as Paul Varjak
Mysterious, charming, and quietly vulnerable, Paul is the aspiring writer who sees Holly for who she truly is. Their chemistry simmers, builds, and ultimately tugs at your heart.
Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi
Though controversial in modern light, this role is a reminder of how cinema reflects the time it was made—and how far we’ve come. A moment for reflection as well as nostalgia.
Henry Mancini’s Music
He may not appear on screen, but Mancini’s dreamy score—especially “Moon River”—is a character of its own. Fun fact: Moon River won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and was written specifically with Audrey Hepburn in mind.
Why This Night is Special?
This isn’t just movie night—it’s an experience:
• Watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s in the stunning Russell Theatre, Maysville’s jewel of the silver screen.
• Be surrounded by locals and guests who adore classic cinema as much as you do.
• Feel the glamour, laughter, and romance in every scene—just like audiences did in 1961.
And once the final credits roll...
Stay the Night at Moon River Bed and Breakfast
The stars on screen aren’t the only ones offering a bit of sparkle. After the film, we invite you to stay at Moon River Bed and Breakfast, just minutes from the theatre.
Enjoy:
• Cozy, vintage-inspired rooms
• A peaceful night's rest
• A full homemade breakfast in the morning (no need to eat on the go like Holly!)
• Warm hospitality and that small-town magic Maysville is known for
Experience Your Own “Moon River” Moment
From the moment the music begins to the moment you sip your morning coffee, you’ll be wrapped in the kind of charm that movies are made of.
Don’t miss this special event on Saturday, August 17.
