    FX’s FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans tells the story of acclaimed writer Truman Capote, once a confidante to society’s most elite women, whom he nicknamed “the swans.” However, his act of betrayal effectively destroyed those relationships, banished him from high society and sent him into a spiral of self-destruction from which he would ultimately never recover.

    I’ve loved this series, and was so happy to see The Swans (particularly Babe) get some recognition now. Also loving how true the Paleys’ relationship is to the information available, especially how her behaviour and attitude towards him shifted when she knew she was dying; finally being able to release everything she repressed!

      ​​​​@@alfredbonnabel7022 Babe was born wealthy. Her mother trained her daughters to be the perfect hostesses. Bill Paley needed her just as much or more than she needed him. (A prejudiced time, shamefully, she had the social acceptance. Country Clubs were really bad, thankfully most all have changed and they are better for it.)

      I don't think that was rare for that time, and with his position (CBS).( Bill Paley) Babe had to be perfect for the parties, she was the ultimate hostess for her husband. The pictures...etc. She loved her children. Her grandchildren, too. When you're cheated on over and over....it's a whole different feeling in your life. Your back is bleeding, and you have to hide the wounds. They never ever heal.

    I smoked for 30 years and quit 2 years ago after I got Covid-19. It one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.. many people have smoked until they die becuase it's so hard to quit. I'm so glad that barely anyone smokes today compared to the 60s, 70s, and 80s when almost almost 1 in 3 people smoked.

      In California barely anyone smokes anymore. We're talking less than 5% of the population. Almost all apartment buildings and office buildings are non-smoking properties now. Same with hotels.. only the cheap motels have smoking rooms anymore. And the price of a pack of cigarettes is now $12 most places. When I started smoking in 1983 cigarettes were $1 per pack.

      Back then, I'd go to a restaurant and in the lobby there was always a cigarette machine, 35 cents a pack. Cars always came with built-in ashtrays, front and back. Sit down in a movie theater, there's an ashtray sunk into the right armrest. Watch TV (black and white and very fuzzy with a metal hanger as the antenna) and everyone's smoking Walk through any home and find 3 or 4 ashtrays because even if you don't smoke, your friends do.
      How did we STAND the stench????!!!

    This scene is very well done, but the last 20 minutes or so of the episode crossed too far over into fantasy for my taste. So much so that the actual timeline and reality of Truman's death became blurred.

    • @arctaurussho
      @arctaurussho 6 місяців тому +4

      I agree. And they seem to be really trying to push a fictional narrative of Capote and Babe reconciling. Based on what we know about her, I suspect once his short story was published she was done with him for good. We don't know if the thought of her death made her more forgiving, but it could have hardened her heart even more toward him.

    I'm sad to see her grand daughter Belle (attorney) upset over the series (She states the family was not consulted whatsoever.). I read where Babe's lung troubles started during the arduous China trip and she cut back if not quit smoking then. Hollywood certainly takes liberties for dramatic effect, and when you're from a prominent family, a family member before you guaranteed your personal privacy at risk. We're sorry Belle, please focus on the costuming and the witty script. Your grandmother tracing your face with her long nails as you sat on her lap, or the jewelry box she had made for you with replicas in paste of all her fabulous jewels. Those are the more precious tidbits I scouted for to make the daughter of a pioneering and successful neurosurgeon (I'm retired medical) warm and more of what you remembered.
