On an unrelated note....

...does a power tossup for Lula Mae Barnes as a
clue for Holly Golightly seem a tad easy? (Well
someone in the chatroom said "ass easy," but I prefer to
be more diplomatic.)

--------
(ACF) She
ran away from home when she was 12 and was taken in
by Doc, the man she would later marry. Eventually,
she ran away to L.A. and then to New York, though she
split with O.J. Berman after skipping her tryout for
"The Story of Dr. Wassail." She remains an associate
of Bermans though, constantly trying to interest
him in the work of the writer who lives downstairs,
the nameless narrator whom she always calls "Fred,"
after her brother, until her brother is killed in the
war. For 10 pointsname this character whose real name
is Lulamae Barnes, the central character of Truman
Capotes Breakfast at Tiffanys.
 Answer: Holly
Golightly (accept Lulamae Barnes on early
buzz)

(NAQT) She changed her name from Lula Mae Barnes when
she came to New (*) York City, but gets in trouble by
unknowingly helping a Mafioso run his drug ring from prison.
In the film, she falls in love with Paul Varjak. For
10 points--name this fictional character in Truman
Capote's novel ~Breakfast at Tiffany's~.

 answer:
_Holly_ _Golightly_ (accept either name)
