it’s on my list for the future. I realized I missed the first two shows so I need to catch up already. Time is limited right now. Thanks for the recommendation.

He's best known for his books "In Cold Blood" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's." He hung out with the elite NYC social crowd, and was openly and rather flamboyantly gay in a time when there was a lot less acceptance of LGBT people. He became friends with "the swans," four wealthy women, until he wrote an article that disclosed personal information about one of them (the subject of the FX series). He was also a good friend of the author Harper Lee. I'd seen interviews of the real Capote, and in the TV series the actor has him nailed.

That's a lot of literary talent on one block!

The character Dill in "To Kill a Mockingbird" was based on Capote. (Which was so obvious when I read that, I didn't understand wy I hadn't figured it out for myself.)

Amazing cast, sets, costumes, acting, cultural references, everything. Gus Van Sant did a great job.

She was a nice surprise to see!

can read a cached version here.

The thing that always stuck with me was the description of the Soufflé Furstenburg. I would love to order that some day.

rendition of Capote is spot on. I remember seeing Capote a number of times on the Tonight Show.

Also have read Copote’s work. He was very good.

He was always so drunk and/or high he was hard to watch. He was only 59 when he died, but looked at least 10 years older even though he had gotten a face lift.
