Anne Curtis recreated the iconic opening scene from "Breakfast at Tiffany's" as a tribute to her late father, putting a personal and emotional touch on the classic movie moment.
The "It’s Showtime" host shared Sunday a video on her social media channels, showing her clad in a black dress, gloves and shades reminiscent of what Audrey Hepburn wore in the iconic scene.
Filmed in New York, Curtis walks toward a Tiffany & Co. store — much like in the scene — and takes a bite of bread while gazing at the storefront before walking away, as an instrumental of "Moon River" plays in the background.
In the caption, Curtis recalled how her father, James Ernest Curtis-Smith, helped her recreate the scene "from a film we both adored" when they visited Tiffany’s in New York more than a decade ago.
"Twelve years ago in New York, my daddy walked beside me to Tiffany's helping me recreate a scene from a film we both adored. He bought my coffee and a croissant, playing the role he jokingly claimed as his own, my 'propsman,'" she wrote.
During a more recent visit, Curtis was asked if she wanted to recreate the scene again.
"My heart began to sting… longing, if only for a moment, to return to that time," she admitted.
"At first, I hesitated… but then I realized how beautiful it would be to relive it once more…this time, as a tribute," she added.
Curtis's father passed away in January.
