Hepburn gown sold at auction in London

Audrey Hepburn's iconic black dress fetched a Tiffany price at auction.

The garment she wore in the 1961 film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" went for $807,000 on Tuesday. The price, paid by a telephone bidder, was almost six times the highest pre-sale estimate.

Proceeds from the sale will go to the charity City of Joy Aid, which helps India's poor. The founders of the charity had received the dress as a gift from designer Hubert de Givenchy.
