Be aware. If someone gossips with you, they will gossip about you.

I hate the comments saying it’s the ladies fault for telling a writer their secrets. No! He was their friend. People don’t value friendships it’s really sad. If he was such a genius he could’ve made better stories. He was a brilliant writer but also a terrible friend

A wealthy friend of mine once cautioned, "Money always comes with strings."

Hurt people hurt other people. Although talented, Capote was still broken and unhealed from childhood. Monetary success has always been seen as the answer and band-aid to unhealed wounds. They don't. This was well done.

The clever swans like Lee Radzwill and CZ Guest didn’t confide their secrets to Truman and so they were saved from him revealing them in his book. They both remained his friends for that reason. Moral of the story don’t tell your secrets to a writer

I see capote as a really gossipy hairdresser who I’d never tell a single personal thing to, such a little snake 🐍

They had wealth, status, and beauty, but didn't end up with happy lives. Such a facade.

Oh Truman indeed meant to wound these women. But he was entirely too delusional to admit the ruin he brought upon himself.

Although glamorous, this life sounds like hell. Zero real friends, sketchy husbands, and your main occupation is giving/receiving to a bunch of people that you don't really care about.

I’ve been a hairdresser and makeup artist and been around women ( all kinds) 30 something years and they do talk smack a lot about each other a lot. When they confide in you and tell you deeply personal things ( I would rather not know) you do have to discipline yourself not to say anything. If you can’t say something nice about a person don’t say anything. You wouldn’t want someone to put your s- - t out there especially if they are a celebrity Truman Had to know this .

Capote always talked about his mother’s (horrific) abuse of him and her violent alcoholism — yet like so many he repeated the same exact patterns. This story resulted in the swans never speaking to him again (at best) to one of the swans unaliving herself — Capote had sadistically lashed out at women who honestly loved him and accepted him despite his “eccentricities”

The full quote "There are more tears shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones" is astonishingly applicable to both Capote and the Swans. Excellent documentary. Glamourous facades hiding so much pain...and bad behavior. Thank you...

Yes, please do a second episode on more swans! I'm really interested in the battle between Vidal and Capote, too.

This was a walk down memory lane for me. I was born in 1950, and was an avid reader of everything in print and viewer of everything on the three TV channels we had back then. I remember all the swans except for Woodward. I used to fantasize about their lives. I read Truman, Steinbeck, Hemingway, all the men whose lives crossed paths with the swans and their husbands. A fabulous time; America at its zenith. New sub on Maui 🌸🤙🏼 Yes, please do more!

I wish no one a "friend" like Truman Capote. The guy was poison

In Gerald Clarke's biography of Capote it's told that the author betrayed Jackie Kennedy too. When she lost her baby Truman reportedly sent her a crystal rose and a beautifully written message she cherished and thanked him profusely and whole heartedly. But years later he boasted in an interview that he was so close to Jackie that she allowed him to stay in the room while she changed, and she never spoke to him or took his calls or letters ever again. He also betrayed Marlon Brando who in an interview confided in him his troubled relationship with his alcoholic mother and asked Truman not to publish that part of his story but he did. And let's not forget his betrayal of those two men in death row. I fell in love with his work in highschool, I've read all he wrote. Luckily I'm able to separate the art from the artist, being an author myself. Yeah, we write about what we know and what happens around us, but we generate the material and process it so it's all our own, not part of other people's private lives. We don't take the secret pain of others and just wipe the floor with it.

I've been watching your channel for about 2 or so years. The truth is that I have no idea how I found it. I'm glad I did. I often wish you could deep dive into your subjects more but I also realize that this is a passion project and you're not making money for your time. All of this is to say that if you were to do something about the other swans, I would love it. In fact I find your cadence comforting. I love history from Babylon till now. You are a great story teller. Thank you for sharing your abilities with us out here in the Ether. ❤

He came across (in my opinion) as a little Viper, then those he bit, would wonder why? Really enjoyed this video, thank you for your hard work in making it. 👌👏👏👏💜

What a wonderful documentary! Very insightful and well researched especially the photographs. It takes entire companies to produce something of this quality. Your talent and hard work are apparent!
