  As a New Yorker, I can honestly say that this show has been more hyped than Capote&apos;s actual ball. My hat is off to Ryan Murphy&apos;s marketing team.

  the encounter between Babe and Capote on the street was all in Babeès imagination at her therapists office...it was not supposed to be seen as real.

  I too, thought that the conversation of them meeting on the street was &nbsp;a fantasy during a therapy session. He hurt her &nbsp;so deeply that I don’t think that relationship could have ever been restored. She was more hurt by Truman’s betrayal than her own husband’s betrayal. She did say that Truman was the love of her life even though it was not a sexual relationship.

  Truman really could have tried to disguise which real life friend he used for each character if he really loved them. I doubt he ever really did.

  Your video captured the truth about Capote and Ann Woodward in the respect of her calling him a homophobic slur and him coming up with &quot;Mrs. Bang Bang,&quot; but that&apos;s pretty much all there ever was to their relationship, namely that one encounter. She was never one of his swans, she existed on the fringe of society because of the shooting, and his swans and the rest of society pretty much shunned her because they didn&apos;t believe for a minute that the shooting was an accident. I&apos;ve read in the past that after the incident, her vindictive MIL pretty much never let Ann out of the house without momma being with her, so her appearances in the series are pretty much completely fabricated. She may have killed herself partially because of the short story, but Feud has way over embellished her presence in the life of Capote and his society ladies. She simply wasn&apos;t a factor until her death, when the swans could all then shed crocodile tears over a woman they never cared about in the first place just to make themselves look good.<br><br>Also, the swans were never in competition for GOH at his ball - Capote wanted to give the ball for HIMSELF, but knowing he couldn&apos;t do that, he picked Kay Graham from the beginning because she simply wasn&apos;t competition for his swans in terms of glamour (nor was he going to risk, at that time, falling out with any of them).

  Once he realized he was the combination court jester at dinner parties invited to entertain, &nbsp;the famous male friend the wives could have to amuse themselves &nbsp;and &nbsp;run around with, that the husbands &nbsp;didn&apos;t have to worry about, he started to feel used. &nbsp;The husbands didn&apos;t feel threatened by him, and he knew it. &nbsp; He was their wives lap dog. &nbsp;They were all filthy rich and powerful. He wasn&apos;t. &nbsp; Until one day he decided to show them how really powerful his pen was.<br>And apparently the swans weren&apos;t very nice people. &nbsp; God knows what he saw and what they said about each other, and how they treated people. &nbsp; None of them seemed to care about their children. &nbsp;Just a bunch of shallow social courtesans who couldn&apos;t age gracefully. &nbsp; Ironically, &nbsp;he made them famous 50 years later, otherwise, who would be talking about them today? &nbsp;Nobody.

  truman actually does appear briefly in footage of one of the grey gardens shoots by the maysles at east hampton<br>either at peter beards or andy’s. &nbsp;that<br>particular video is called ‘that summer’.

  Excellent production values in every way, and I LOVE the appearances of the beautiful and talented ladies &quot;of a certain age.&quot; Watching it is like a freeway accident. &nbsp;You want to look away, but can&apos;t. It&apos;s a given that private conversations events are scripted. I have not believed the &quot;truth&quot; of any of it, but the characterizations are devastating, especially Capote&apos;s. What a horrible group of people!

  Tom Hollander and Naomi Watts deserve EMMY&apos;S for both of their performances. &nbsp;They were FANTASTIC! &nbsp;I, however, never knew the depths to which Capote sank, both behaviorally, alcoholically and drug addiction wise. &nbsp;If Hollanders portrayal is even semi-close to reality, &nbsp;Capote was a TRULY repugnant train wreck!

  The worst thing a parent, husband or friend can do is abandoned their child or wife and friend. But when it happens it creates an Anger so deep because of rejection. He spent his whole life looking for a true mother figure. He became a lost soul.
