Feud Season 2: Joanne Carson on Truman Capote's Death and the Swans Fallout (Flashback)

I’m so grateful to have found this interview. Gratitude for posting it🙏💙

How nice to hear about Truman from a real friend of his. What a smart and kind woman, Joanne Carson.

This season of feud is really good!

I enjoy listening to Joanne Carson. I wouldn't mind hearing her voice on the audiobook for the Truman autobiography. It would ring with a deeper nuance of truth because she was there. I miss her type of style and elegance. We don't see that enough these days.

this is wonderful of Joanne. She passed in 2015. I'm fascinated by this VIDEO! Thank you for posting❤So much about his death, and she setting the record straight!

How nice that he had such a loyal, loving friend to the end.

It's wonderful that she had nothing but kind things to say about Truman, and I'm sure in his own way he did have some capacity for decency and real friendship - certainly he had a lot of talent, even until the end (his final piece, "Meeting Willa Cather", was eventually published and very, very good). But, having known a vicious creature or two in my time, they can be the sweetest, most docile of pups when they have their tails between their legs, and make it virtually impossible anyone they've never turned on to believe they ever would...until they do. When it came to Mrs. Carson, it may have been that he did have a friendship with her he never did with his Swans, or perhaps he'd even learned his lesson from his betrayal of them, but I doubt it; he was simply in no position to bite the only hand that still fed him by that point.

Great story. I've discovered Truman Capote through watching Feud. Currently reading a collection of his short stories. Brilliant writer!!

“I don’t wear it anymore because Truman is not here to enjoy it..” Truly beautiful.

It's a lot easier to say nice things about somebody when he stabbed somebody ELSE in the back. If he BETRAYED her in the most intimate, cruel and needless way, would she still be one of his sycophants?

I'm enchanted by this insightful expose of an American genius and icon. Creatve people are often brilliantly comprised of a unique mixture of intelligene, complexity.and oddity. Aorus essentiel d'autres dimensions. bravo

truman was the kindest, gentlest, malicious gossip.

If a person's first words when they meet you are "tell me all about yourself" I would monitor what comes out of my mouth

I personally don't get molly ringwald in the part. I would have picked another actress...

I surprised at the comments. Truman lived with these some in their world. He befriended them and had access into places he never would have been in. More than anything it was a betrayal of their friendship.

Thank you. Great find!

Actions have consequences. I'm guessing that he never betrayed Joanna, like he did with his other "friends".

What wonderful thing to have a friendship like that. You can tell she adored him.

Really interesting video. Appreciate it after watching the commercialized version. What a difference.

Should have kept the notebook, ring though.
