SHORT TAKES : Breakfast, Bergen and ‘Bull’

NEW YORK —  “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” with Audrey Hepburn was a successful movie in 1961, but these days the meal can be had for the high bid at a celebrity auction.

For the right price, a buyer can enjoy breakfast with Hepburn at the tony Manhattan store. All proceeds will benefit the Manhattan Center for the Living, a nonprofit group that assists people with life-threatening illnesses.

“They very sweetly contacted me and asked if I would help,” Hepburn said this week of the auction. “It was so easy to accept. I don’t have to do anything but come up here and have breakfast.”

The event is billed as a “Celebrity Fantasy Auction,” and other big names are joining Hepburn. Bidders can also buy lunch with actress Candice Bergen, drinks with NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw or a night at Shea Stadium with Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, co-stars of the baseball film “Bull Durham.”

The auction will take place March 4 at the Manhattan Center for the Living.
