The TRAGIC Fates Of Capote's Swans : An Inside Look At Their Lives AFTER Feud Capote Vs. The Swans

Lee and Jackie were both step-brothers to Gore Vidal; another prickly homosexual genius like Capote. Lee wasn't likely to ever attack him in court to help one of Truman's pissing-contests(which he kinda lived for and got mixed up in all the time - he had a hard time giving a shit about other mere mortals or their feelings). Like many idiot-savants, they have difficulty sorting out the idiocy and the brilliance.

No matter how classy, beautiful. & young you are, your rich older husband still wants to pound other prettier, younger women.

Didn't Lee resent her sister Jackie in part because Jackie married Onassis and Lee was having or had an affair with him?? I'm just going by the FX series.

Episode 7 broke my heart. BEAUTIFUL BABE. It really brought the pain to the surface for how Truman felt, and his descent into total alcohol dependence and how he suffered for his addictions and proclivities!

Back here again to say: Slim Keith is the most beautiful and photogenic woman I've ever seen, hands down!

Too much...never enough ✨

I listened four times before letting you know that President Kennedy wasnt assimatednin the late 60s.

I think that Babe Paley looked better after the reconstruction due to the automobile accident. Her's and her sisters jawline was off somehow. It was very broad and long, at least in my opinion. The jaw reconstruction she had to have looked much better to me.

Capote was a nasty, vicious, hateful, vindictive little man.

Truly all evil people- every single one of them American Babylon ♨️🇺🇲♨️

Enjoyed the series ❤️

I feel most sad for babe, the betrayal was the worst thing he could have done.

I really despise having narrators that aren't even born when these events happened... This can't be a.i. since there are no mispronounced words.

Does anyone care about these people? Capote was trouble soul who used everyone in his life.

Babe should have stayed at Vogue

Fancy women, sleeping and/or marrying to the top. Not sure they deserved the embarrassment but the way they shuffled husbands and lovers, they weren't expecting the writer to write about them? It's weird they were kind of naive about Truman. He was an unabashed social climber with a relentless memory. What I need is a line graph with all these connections lol

These people were of no real accomplishment. Wasteful.

Babe Paley was the one with the "Swan like" neck.... long, tall, elegant.

Loved this series except for the horrible sex crap between capote and his lovers. They didn't have to be so graphic in this but then again, this show was done by a gay guy!! Should have left that out!

Anne Woodward was never a part of NY society. She was a showgirl who married her way in. And women have no problem turning their back and exclusion to people they dont think they belong.
It's something one only feels but never sees.
Women have all the power. They just tell men that they do

What I was looking for was the tragic consequences of smoking. Babe died of lung cancer and one other...in the Liz Razewll interview many years later at an advanced age, she is put together and attractive but dollars to donuts she had COPD. This is evident because of her breathing, seen as she draws air from her neck muscles.

He was only 59 when he died. But Capote looked like he was in his 80s.

😊😊

Truman Capote was a ... fill in the blank!

Who the hell wasTruman Capote anyway???????????

This series helped me to understand my mother and grandmother so much better. Gran was a socialite and tried to create the same in her daughter. My mother disappointed my Gran by “marrying down”. My dad was raise poor and was happy living “low class”. My mother would always say “never trust a man to take of you”. My job most of my life was to keep her happy and do whatever she asked. She couldn’t afford a maid and cook like Gran, so I became one per her demands at the age of ten. They were both self centered and their lives revolved around acquiring the things they wanted. Accepting only perfection from those around them. While they ignored all their families needs and feelings. My mother’s favorite saying was “if you quit wanting you might as well be dead”. As for my Gran, she dumped when she realized I would never be pretty enough for my Gran to groom into a socialite. They both gone now and I grieve them and what could’ve been.

What’s so tragic!!? They lived an extremely privileged life with all of the ostentatiousness that comes with it. Then they died like anyone else😳

Who needs friends like that ???
Is nothing sacred

They all married for money. Duh! I dub them dollar whores, the ruling currency of the day. Not one of them was highly educated because not one of them was the least bit intelligent. They excelled at shopping. Their greatest talent was their physical beauty. If you had the misfortune of sitting next to one of them at dinner, you would be best to focus on the soup. The soup would be more interesting.

Ann Woodward was a dancer in a chorus line in a club catering to men. After the performance, the chorus girls would accept invitations from the men to join them at their table. This is how she met her future husband’s father, who, it was rumored, she had an affair. He introduced her to his shy son. Marriage was not intended. Woodward’s mother, Elsie, was furious when Ann married her son. Ain’t love wonderful?

Lee couldn’t stand Capote. She called him a filthy “*ggot. Lee threw him under the bus-he didn’t dump her. She was also the one who had told Truman the gossip about Gore Vidal.

Lee did have reason to be angry at Jackie. She was Aristotle Onnasis’s mistress before Jackie..

All the drinking and smoking made them age like complete shit. I’m so glad I’m not from that era.

This is not accurate, Onassis was Lee lover before Jackie stole him for the money.

The “swans” condemning Capote for his betrayal considering they all scored rich husbands through adultery is rich.

I’m interested in seeing your take on CZ Guest. Even before “the swans” and the series, CZ had a reputation of being a cool and sensible lady despite her privileged birth, and she was a lot like Gloria Vanderbilt where she worked to keep/build her fortune with gardening books, clothing designs and perfume lines. Her daughter Cornelia is also an accomplished woman as well.

Babe was amazing

RE: Gore Vidal v Truman Capote lawsuit. Vidal and Lee Radziwil shared a stepfather and had an ongoing relationship from childhood. Truman should not have been too surprised when Lee avoided involvement in the lawsuit and did not support him.

What really sent him on the downspin was his obsessive dare I say it Love for the convicted killer that was depicted in Capotes book " In cold blood". He got way too close to the jailbird and after he had been hung Capote fell into a deep depression, drinking and no longer able to write.

Babe was a cool kitty .
RIP 💜
A Great Lady🙏🏽

Hello again! Lee R. didn’t finish her start of the Big Edith…Little Edith… , What became Grey Gardens… Jackie Kennedy wasn’t without “Guilt”. Jackie… wrapped Lee around her finger… Lee fell for the Baited Traps of Jackie…

Hello again…”Hopkins” is a fun name… as Truman cherished “Cushing”… so…sifting and separating… Fine… Dr William Henry Howell… Truman didn’t touch that…to my knowledge because he loved New York… Look up North… and you will find… Women who threw away the Glitz… not me… I was tossed back… but then again, I was 50% Jewish… … It’s 2024 now… and I’m a “Survivor”… Thank You…

It’s horrible that he spilled secrets just to expose and ruin lives. And he did it for his own financial gain. Pretty shady.

I don't think one of these women ever did anything meaningful, like set up a charity or help unwed mothers. Capote was well-ridden of these "socialites"; he was the most famous writer in the U.S.

I don't think Babe Paley was such a beauty. She has some photos where she looks very pretty but strikingly beautiful not in my book.

I loved this series and I would watch it again. ❤

There's nothing glamorous about "high society".

I think Lee Radizwill was actually prettier than her sister Jackie. It’s a shame she felt so lessened because of Jackie’s role as First lady and subsequent marriage to Onassis. Jackie suffered such profound losses with the death of two babies and then witnessing her husband’s assassination. I was thankful for her sake that she died before her son John was killed in his plane crash.

Lee was much more attractive than Jackie to me

Capote was a narcissist, an addict, and a wonderful writer. I would have hated him.

Truman Capote was a mean, vicious, unhappy man !!!
