Bonnie Golightly was born in Illinois and raised in Tennessee before she moved to Manhattan's East Side in New York City. She wrote many books, mostly somewhat sleazy pulp fiction. She was also a folk singer, former bookstore owner, and active member of the subculture. She best known as the possible inspiration for Capote's main character, Holly Golightly, in Breakfast at Tiffany's, and for suing Capote, his publisher Random House, and Esquire Magazine (which first published the story as a novella) in 1959. Capote denied the connection, saying that he had never even met Golightly, and she lost the suit. In the 1960s she joined the subculture and co-authored some books about the drug L.S.D.
