Blake Edwards: Encyclopedia - Cornrows

Cornrows are a traditional, unisex style of hair grooming of African origin where the hair is tightly braided very close to the scalp, using an underhand, upward motion to produce a continuous, raised row. This technique is somewhat similar to that used to produce a French braid, which is braided using an overhand, or inward, motion, resulting in a flat braid. Cornrows can be formed, as the name implies, in simple, straight lines; or, in complicated geometric or curvilinear designs. Often favored for their easy maintenance, cornrows c ...

Joseph Frank Keaton Jr. (October 4, 1895 – February 1, 1966), always known as Buster Keaton, was a popular and influential American silent-film comic actor and filmmaker.

Blake Edwards: Encyclopedia II - Breakfast at Tiffany's - Adaptions

Breakfast at Tiffany's - The film. A number of changes had to be made to make the storyline acceptable to a film audience and fans of Audrey Hepburn.

There was also no love story between the narrator (played by George Peppard in the film) and Holly, because he was a closet homosexual. Capote's novel also included language that was toned down as well as a more complex ending which becam ...
