Anna Friel has admitted that she struggled to maintain her composure on stage in Breakfast At Tiffany's as a theatre-goer was sick during her performance.

6 November 2009 12:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Anna Friel almost forgot her lines during a recent performance in West End show Breakfast At Tiffany's - when a sick theatre-goer showered the stalls with vomit.
The Pushing Daisies star is currently appearing as Holly Golightly in the hit stage production of Audrey Hepburn's classic movie.
But one performance was almost ruined after a reveller threw up over the balcony - splattering audience members below.
Friel admits she was angry at first - until she realised what had happened.
She tells U.K. radio station Smooth, "I thought it was late-comers who shouldn't have been allowed in - but it turned out someone had vomited from the balcony over six people and they were being escorted out to be cleaned up.
"I carried on singing but almost lost my way as there was such a noise coming from the seats. I almost lost it but I'm proud I kept my concentration." »

Man Collapses Over Naked Friel
28 October 2009 3:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Anna Friel's nude role in a West End play is having a huge effect on audiences - one onlooker collapsed when the actress peeled off her clothes.
The British beauty strips off onstage during her protrayal of Holly Golightly in the new version of classic Audrey Hepburn movie Breakfast At Tiffany's - and the sight of the star in all her naked glory was simply too much for one audience member.
He keeled over in the aisle and had to be wheeled out of the auditorium by medics.
Friel explains, "During that naked scene, about four days ago, we had a man who collapsed in the audience - but it was during the naked scene and I didn't know if I had done something very wrong or it just happened that he collapsed at that point.
"I remember him being carried out on a stretcher, which was a bit distracting." »

Friel Enjoys Nude Scenes
28 October 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Anna Friel has no qualms about appearing naked onstage for her latest role - she loves stripping off.
The former Pushing Daisies star disrobes for a scene in the theatre version of 1961 movie Breakfast At Tiffany's in London's West End.
Her racy role as Holly Golightly has caused a stir in the U.K., with show bosses issuing a ban on audience members taking photos of the star nude.
But Friel admits she is not shy about peeling off her clothes - and would happily conduct press interviews naked.
She tells British TV host Paul O'Grady, "At first I was (nervous). There was a whole debate about when we actually rehearse the nakedness for the first time. It was in a rehearsal room which was very stark and cold and under fluorescent lights.
"I have never really had a problem with nakedness. I could sit here completely naked and be interviewed and not care. But I won't be doing that, don't worry!
"It's so brief and it's not gratuitous, it's not salacious. It's about this guy who sees a naked woman for the very first time. It teaches him to be a bit more open about it and not so stuffy. We've all got them - they just look different!" »
Friel Got To Grips With Guitar For West End Stage
28 October 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Anna Friel has a flair for music - she learned how to play the guitar in just five weeks.
The former Pushing Daisies star is currently impressing theatregoers in London's West End with her turn as Holly Golightly in the stage version of Audrey Hepburn's 1961 classic Breakfast At Tiffany's.
The role requires her to strum a guitar on-stage - and talented Friel easily got to grips with the instrument.
She says, "I had to learn (guitar) for this. We did five weeks rehearsals, I practised every day. My dad's a great guitarist, and my brother, so I've got that in my blood I think." »
Friel's Backstage Ghost Hunt
28 October 2009 1:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Anna Friel is constantly on the look-out for ghosts while she's on-stage in London following rumours of a supernatural presence at the theatre where she is working.
The former Pushing Daisies star is currently performing in a stage version of Audrey Hepburn's 1961 classic Breakfast At Tiffany's and reports of a ghoul at the venue have left the actress feeling spooked.
Stories suggested the West End production had tempted the ghosts of Hepburn and the novel's author Truman Capote to London's Royal Haymarket Theatre.
Despite insisting the rumours are false, Friel confesses she can't help looking out for supernatural encounters backstage - especially after actor Patrick Stewart spotted a spook while performing in Waiting for Godot at the same venue.
She says, "Everyone keeps talking about this ghost. Supposedly I think that Capote is in the corner or Audrey Hepburn is there watching, but I've never seen her. Patrick Stewart, who was in Godot beforehand, said he saw it on-stage and it came out of a box. I keep looking now!"
But the Pushing Daisies star insists she has opened her mind to the spiritual world - because of ghostly goings-on in her dressing room.
She adds, "The music in my room has gone up a few times but I just put it down to an electrical glitch." »

Anna Friel's naked turn in a London stage version of Breakfast At Tiffany's is causing a stir among patrons - staff at the theatre have banned the audience from taking photographs.
The Pushing Daisies star peels off her clothes and reclines on a couch for her role as Holly Golightly in the theatre version of the classic Oscar-winning movie.
Pictures of the actress' naked scene leaked on to the internet earlier this month - and bosses at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in the West End are determined it won't happen again.
They have warned staff to be vigilant during the play, and confiscate any mobile phones or cameras which are used.
A source tells Britain's Metro newspaper, "Front of house staff have been put on alert to spot mobile phones because of Anna's nudity. This is a serious production and they don't want the naked scenes to be the only talking point." »

New Yorkers Line Up to Check Out Daniel Craig's Face

Daniel Craig. From PatrickMcMullan.com. Who and what were up and down last night and why. ↓ Continuing to Pop up: First there was Miuccia Prada's Double Club, a temporary venue that fueled London's pop-up phenomenon last winter. So it seems as if Quintessentially's new pop-up club in London's House of Saint Barnabas is behind the beat—even if the membership fees do go to charity. But the space is certain to become a hot spot, as "It kids" such as Poppy Delevigne, Marissa Montgomery, Tom Parker-Bowles, and Tolula Adeyemi seemed suitably impressed by the luxe décor and posh atmosphere at last night's opening party. ↓ Ghostly Apparitions: Anna Friel made her long-awaited debut as Holly Golightly in London's new production of Breakfast at Tiffany's, but much of the media coverage of her performance (and nude scene) was obscured by rumors of a phantom in the wings. »

He died in 1984, but had he lived the elfin author would be 85 years old today. Any self-respecting gay guy probably already knows the basics: He wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's, he wrote In Cold Blood, he was lifelong friends with Harper Lee. He conducted a lifelong public feud with Gore Vidal, he hosted the infamous Black & White Ball. Oh, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman won an Oscar playing him in the 2004 film, Capote.
After the break, 5 things you might not know about Truman Capote.
1. The author's photo that appeared on the back oh his first novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms (1947), arguably got more attention than the book. Many felt it was too suggestive (i.e. gay) and the controversy actually launched Capote as a public figure, rather than simply an author.

Actress Anna "Pushing Daisies" Friel has 'stunned' theatre-goers during preview performances @ the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London, UK's West End, starring in the stage version of Breakfast At Tiffany's.

Friel's Naked Turn In Tiffany's
21 September 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Anna Friel stunned theatre-goers at the unveiling of a London stage version of Breakfast At Tiffany's - by stripping naked during the show.
The Pushing Daisies star peels off her clothes and reclines on a couch for her role as Holly Golightly in the theatre version of the classic Oscar-winning movie.
The nude scenes were kept a tightly-guarded secret during rehearsals for the show, and the audience for the preview performance at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in the West End last week (begs14Sep09) was stunned at Friel's bravery.
One onlooker tells the News of the World, "The guys in the front row couldn't believe it, their eyes were on stalks. It looked like they were about to pass out."
Earlier this year, Friel hinted she would push the boundaries as Golightly, a role made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film.
She said, "Holly's a heroine for a lot of females because she doesn't follow the rules. My Holly will have a lot more rough edges than Audrey's." »
What's the most fashionably influential movie of all time?
9 September 2009 4:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Turner Classic Movies is honoring New York's Fashion Week with a list of the films it has deemed the most sartorially influential of all time. First, a look at their Top 15 (in chronological order): Pandora's Box (1929) Letty Lynton (1932) It Happened One Night (1934) Pat and Mike (1952) Rear Window (1954) Rebel Without a Cause (1955) And God Created Woman (1956) Auntie Mame (1958) Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) Bonnie and Clyde (1967) The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) Shaft (1971) Annie Hall (1977) Saturday Night Fever (1977) Flashdance (1983) Most notable is the '50s- and '60s-heavy lineup -- which perhaps makes some sense, as films were likely the dominant way style was passed from Hollywood to the masses (as opposed to the TV, Us Weekly and internet of today). And there's no arguing with the likes of Breakfast at Tiffany's (which I would deem the most fashionable movie of all time), Bonnie and Clyde, Shaft, Annie Hall, Saturday Night Fever, and Flashdance. »
