RECOMMENDED: Truman Capote's "Swans" / 1950-1970s story + „Feud” the TV Series 2017–2024 🗽👩👩🏻👩👩🏻👩👩🏻💰

Truman Capote's "Swans" refers to a group of glamorous, high-society women he befriended, including Babe Paley, Slim Keith, C.Z. Guest, and Lee Radziwill. He nicknamed them "the swans" and became their confidant, only to later betray them by writing "La Côte Basque, 1965," a thinly veiled and scandalous chapter from his unfinished novel Answered Prayers, which exposed their private lives to the public. This betrayal led to their fury, his social pariah status, and was the inspiration for the TV series Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.

Ryan Murphy's Feud: Capote vs. The Swans follows the real-life drama between author Truman Capote and his group of socialite friends, who he nicknamed the Swans.
