What I'm getting is Capote was the og Gossip Girl

I love that both the late Philip Seymour Hoffman and Toby Jones who both played Truman Capote in Capote and Infamous is featured in this video and I can't wait to see Tom Hollander playing Truman in the series he is a very good and talented actor and he will do a very good job.

The costuming on Feud was so good. That’s what I’m looking forward to.

C.Z Guest remained friends with Truman Capote until his death since he didn’t mention her in the esquire article and Lee Radzwill also remained his friend after the chapters were released but ended the friendship years later.

How was he surprised that people stopped talking to him after doing a tell all on his closest friends.

"He wasn't interested in them romantically"

Yeah, no shit 😂

1:20 No wonder Philip Seymour Hoffman won an Oscar for playing him

Melanie Benjamin wrote a great historical fiction novel about this - The Swans of 5th Avenue

6 episodes in and it's fantastic. The opening scene in episode 1 is shocking. Great performances.

I just watched the first two episodes. The age of the cast can be somewhat misleading, but all the actors played their roles exceptionally well. After watching this YouTube video, I googled Turman and his swams' birthday and found out that Truman was younger than most of the swans. Truman was born in 1924, Babe and Ann were born in 1915, Slim was born in 1917, and CZ was born in 1920. Was his relationship with his swans like a younger brother-older sister relationship? Lee, born in 1933, is younger than Turman and the other swans. All these people were depicted in the show as if they were around the same time and often hung out with each other. However, I belive that, in real life, Babe, CZ, and Slim were in the same group. Lee was in a different group, and Ann was never close to the other swans.

CZ was also a bit different from the other swans. She was the only one born into an old-money family and then married into a much older old-money family. She did not seem to have a feud with Truman, and she seemed to have a pretty happy, fulfilling life and a successful marriage with her only husband, Winston Guest. She might be the coolest and luckiest among them.

Saw 1st episode and am hooked. I always considered Naomi Watts to be a stellar actress but she is FANTASTIC here.

[michaelrg]

This show better be amazing given the huge number of YouTube commentaries available!

[gwenfluker]

I saw part one and two of Swans today. So far so good.

[comachos]

They omitted Gloria Guinness and Marella Agnelli I think.

[scottsummers]

Capote was an idiot for doing that. Karma hit back hard 😂😂😂

[bredagner]

Naomi Watts is absolutely stunning as a brunette 💓❤️🙌🏾

[MLeibs]

I think Annette Bening would have been good as a Swan actress on the Feud.

[MegAplin]

Jackie and Lee( Bouvier) their mother Janet...don't tell anyone anything. And, they really didn't.

[WVAlmostHeaven]

"He wasn't interested in them romantically, " duh!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I told a gay friend of mine this statement. We laughed and laughed. Only because everyone knew Capote was gay.

[kellyburgess]

CZ Guest and Lee Radziwill DID talk to him afterwards
