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.

There was a subtle twist on the novella in that, until I had read the original Capote work, I never thought that Paul Varjak might have been gay. I cannot imagine Holly as a blonde because of Audrey's coloration. However, the book said that she had streaked blonde hair.

Whatever... Just plug in Marilyn for Audrey, and AI will show you how the difference would have worked out.
