A stamp bearing the face of movie star Audrey Hepburn garnered $93,800 at an auction in Germany on Tuesday.
Only five copies are known to exist!!!!
The 2001 print run was stopped after Hepburn’s son, Sean Ferrer, objected to the image of the cigarette holder in Hepburn’s mouth from the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Her son said that he hoped the stamp seller would use the money gained to benefit cancer research or an anti-smoking campaign.
It’s sweet that Ferrer wants the proceeds to honor his mother who died of cancer, but in these economic times, it seems doubtful!!!
