Ep. 41: ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)’ or ‘A Matter of Audrey & Abella’ or ‘Pod…. casting… Loooonger than an hour…’

Zach is joined by actress and stand-up comic Abella Bala (Deadly Illusions, Antlers) to take a journey through the streets of New York City through the eyes of Holly Golightly with a chat about Blake Edward's perennial 1961 hit, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. Grab your croissants and stolen Halloween masks and settle in as the two learn about the astounding life of Audrey Hepburn, become puzzled at why many thought Audrey would not work as Golightly, dig deep into how Golightly and Peter provide templates for interesting and complex romantic characters down the line, and have an honest reckoning with one Mickey Rooney and the pain of watching his performance. An intricate and unique version of the Ballyhoo awaits you, including learning more about Abella and what led her to acting in ways that have their own lessons to teach for the future. ----- Link for Featurette "Mr. Yunioshi: An Asian Perspective": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAafI9w7CY8 This Featurette Can Also Be Accessed On The "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Bluray -------- To keep up with Abella's many endeavors, be sure to follow her on Instagram: @abellabala.tv Visit her website: abellabala.com Check out her work on the Netflix film 'Deadly Illusions': https://www.netflix.com/title/81346196 and be sure to watch her in all 6 episodes of John Strelec's Webseries, 'Antlers': https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaXbVoRBGRlTqHDJZcavncA
