It would have been a disaster.

Wouldn’t say disaster, just very different. Capote may have actually been more receptive to Monroe as more faithful to the novella. But then it wouldn’t have become the greatest chick flick ever.

Dittoes.
I’m trying to be objective here, but I can’t see Marilyn as Holly.
It was bad enough having Mickey Rooney play a Japanese guy. And I think having Uncle Jed play her husband also did not work.

Marilyn was pretty damn good at all of the roles she was asked to do. She could have pulled it off just fine, IMO.
In fact, the novel was written for a woman quite like Marilyn.

It was a disaster. I tried to like it. I couldn't.
