If you would like to support this channel, you can do so at www.buymeacoffee.com/indiascarlett You can watch Part 1 on the Swans here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcmqjJSKzLKqe3U.html I want to thank everyone for the support shown on my last video! It has been so lovely reading all your comments. I would love to know if anyone would be interested in a deep dive on the Swans homes? Also, if you would like me to do a video on the greatest parties of the 20th century, including Truman's Black and White Ball and the Beistegui Ball, please comment below! For some time I have been researching the many models, artists, designers etc, who were very popular in the mid 20th century and had aristocratic origins, would anyone be interested in that? Thank you once again for all the support! Please suggest any subjects you have in mind for future videos!

Some people don't understand that sitting in your own house alone in peace, eating snacks and minding your business is fxxxing priceless. -Tom Hardy

love the detail of Marella taking such pleasure in her garden in the darkness

Yes I would love to see videos about the homes of these women. Especially Morella. Her gardens sound amazing.

Wow!!! You took an over exposed topic and gave a whole new informative story. New facts, obviously well researched. And delivery is pleasant to listen to.

I wish Gloria Guinness had been featured in Feud. She's my absolute favourite - a woman with her own mythology and style.

🎉❤Scholarly, witty, cogent and well reasoned account of The Swans. I loved the well mannered, respectful tone of this documentary due to ZERO negative gossip I always disliked Pamela Harriman for her ruthless Golddigger Husband Stealing Ruthless Social Climbing BUT highly revered the grand dames Jacqueline de Rhibbes and Gloria Vanderbilt. I was a little girl when Capote published In Cold Blood. As a child I read A Christmas Memory and Breakfast at Tiffany's when it was first published. Truman Capote was vicious, treacherous, brilliant, doomed and tragic. His mother, Lilly Mae was a working class small town Alabama beauty who felt trapped and stifled in dull as dishwater southern country bumpkin burg. It was Capotes mother who was the real Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. In the book and film she was called Lula Mae. In her real life Truman called her Lilly Mae. Capote was savagely damaged by his disturbed alcoholic social climbing hard as stone mother. Truman really HATED women socialites and THAT motivation was why he wrote La Cote Basque, his Hit Job against The Swans. Truman Capotes mother was a Failed Socialites who was harshly rejected by Manhattan High Society and drank herself to death until she committed suicide. Truman Capote both Loved and Hated his mother. He both Loved and Hated the Swans. Self destructive full of shame and self loathing Truman Capote destroyed his career and ruined his life by publishing La Cote Basque. Manhattan socialites and The Swans closed ranks and Capote was blacklisted in Manhattan society. He latched onto lovely gracious compassionate Joanna Carson. She was a PhD graduate of UCLA and was a Nutrition Scientist and quite artistic. She tried to save Truman Capote but he was SO bitchy and publicly malicious towards her tremendous kjndness. Capote died in her home and she was his oNLY friend, having completely burned his bridges all over the world. Capote was a truly brilliant raconteur, writer but threw his life into the gutter As a child I greatly preferred Tennessee Williams and Gore Vidal. Capote has always fascinated me but he squandered his talent and like his thwarted doomed mother became a vicious Mean Drunk and Rx pill addict. Technically Capote died from physical disease but his alcoholism and drug addiction was in fact Slow Suicide Thank you for a fascinating account of a bygone era. Gloria Guinness and Jacqueline de Rhibbes were truly women of great intellect just as GloriaVanderbilt. Many of the Swans were just vapid socialite fashionable clothes horses who did nothing humanitarian with their vast wealth and power😮

Morella's husband looked pissed off in her wedding picture! His arms are crossed and that expression!!😢

Thank you for this very informative video, and for delving into the life of Jacqueline de Ribes, who is sometimes overlooked in my opinion. I remember her clothing designs from the 1980's to mid-90's, and she truly was one of my most favourite designers for women. Please don't hesitate to make more of these videos, your style is as impeccable as the women you are researching.

More more more please👏👏thank you I love these stories.

These are sad lives wrapped in glamor 😢

Please do an in depth look at the homes of the Swans. You can make any subject fascinating. Love your style & your sublime voice. Thank you for all the work it must have taken to bring the Swans to life! ✨

Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. I like the idea of a video on how the Swans created lovely homes.

I have enjoyed learning about these women. Such lives! It’s very interesting. I’d love to see more!

Brilliant 💕 My favourite Swan is Gloria Vanderbilt..In the early 80s I was a student in Hunter College..I guess she lived nearby and was always so nice to us. Unlike some of the other 5th Avenue types that lived in the area. 👖

Thorough and thoughtful telling of the lives of the women who cavalierly once lunched at La Cote Basque.

India Scarlett, you are far-and-away the best commentator on Truman. You stick to the facts, unlike others who traffic in vapid psycho-babble and breathless magazine fare. Your research distinguishes you.

I really enjoyed this. I just started learning everything i could about "The Swans" and Truman Capote after watching The Feud season two. This is very interesting hearing about who these woman were and how they came to be . Thank you for making this very informative documentary, I look forward to watching more in the future.

I think it is so important to tell these fascinating women's stories, it keeps them alive, thank-you and yes, please make more videos!

I'm so happy you started posting again! 🤩

yes to the aristocratic models of the 60s: Marisa Berenson, Penelope Tree, Edie Sedgwick come to mind.

This is wonderful! I enjoyed part 2 very much. I fully support you're doing more deep dives! I would love to see the idea you mentioned at the end. I find glimpses of that world fascinating. Thank you again for such care in your subjects. ❤😊

Thank you India for this follow-up video, which also provides more information on Capote. Your writing style and speaking voice are both so enjoyable. ❤

You really make fantastic videos. I would love a series on the dollar princesses, and the gilded age in general. Many thanks. Your work is meticulous and accurate, pleasantly narrated, told well.

*I appreciate your understandings, time, and brilliant composition. 💗*

Thank you for such an enjoyable KZfaq channel.

Fascinating! Please continue your research into women whose lives we know so little about. Thank you!

Yes ! Anderson claimed his parents were happily married !!

This is the finest video on KZfaq. It’s beautifully photographed and present with grace and depth. The narrative was superb.

Fabulous episode! ❤

I absolutely LOVED your documentary and encourage you whole heartedly to continue with The SWANNs. May I suggest a documentary on women who were the MUSEs for the great fashion designers and also artists. Just a thought. xxg Brisbane Australia

Thank you. I am fascinated by this story.

Loved loved loved such great stories and narratives of peoples lives. Perfect.

Lovely and informative! Thank you!

I would love any videos of the homes of these fascinating woman. Listening to your narration is calm and soothing.

I really enjoyed this series. Everything you do is excellent….and your voice adds to the perfection! Your videos are always with waiting for. Thank you!

Yes!! Please, do more of these amazing videos ❤❤

Beautiful. Love this video. Just enjoyed this and the luxury.

Really nice hearing of all this. I think it's much needed today. We seem to have lost the class and style of previous decades. The 50s and 60s were an amazing time for design, style and celebrity. Please , give us more.

That was a great video and yes I would love it if you made another video or videos of the interesting models etc, plus the homes they made. Once again thank you for making interesting videos to watch of a bygone era. Gail Aussie ❤.

I’d be interested in seeing a doc about the children of the swans for sure

I just discovered you and think you are amazing !! Please do Marisa Berenson she’s fascinating. Duches of Windsor . I enjoy you so much . I can’t get enough. I have been a fan of Jacqueline De Ribes for so many years. She was unique her features amazing.

Jacqueline de Ribes! Thank you!

He was a adorable kid.

Thank you very much for sharing your research and knowledge. Very interesting and informative.💐

Very entertaining. Thank you. Interested in your other projects.

"In Cold Blood" was a true story and nonfiction. The film made of the true story focuses on the murderers. Robert Blake of the, "The Little Rascals" and the television show, "Barretta" played the main character.

loved it!

Would love to hear more about Jacqueline de Ribes. Loved this episode.

I enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing more. Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much for all that you do to keep us abreast of what's happening!!!

Excellent reporting ❤

Another excellent video, bravo India 👏

Excellent work. Please include Mica Ertugun. A very interesting woman.

"She's some sort of marvelous primitive" 💀, nice video (as per usual), India! Would you consider making one about Capotes ball? Thank you!

I loveeee that since the series came out.. A few here have been making video essays about the Swans. I watched your first part just a couple of days ago.. And I loved it very much !! I am so invested in learning about these incredible women. 🦢

thank you so much for this fascinating series. You narration is excellent. More please!

Incredible research and loved the imagery. Keep it up. ❤❤❤❤❤

great share , thank you , for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Your vid was so interesting & superbly done! Looking forward to the future suggested topics you mentioned.

Excellent content. Brava! Liked & subscribed.

Kudos, what a good video, very enjoyable and much appreciated.

So comprehensive & well presented. Thank you.

Yes, I'd love to learn more about all of the topics you mentioned. Also I've been fascinated by Marjorie Merriweather Post. After learning more about her on NPR years ago..

What a wonderful channel and story telling. How theses woman lived.

Great job, very informative. Thanks

Well done!!! Thank you for a well done video!

Lets just get this straight. Gloria was descendant from nobles and conquistadors from Spain/Portugal. She wasnt a mutt. But she used the Mexican nationality to make herself exotic and then the Germans were not akin to that.

Watch the movie A Christmas Memory when he went to live with his relatives. Very good show. ❤

I’d love more in-depth videos. I enjoyed your two part Swan episodes greatly.

More, more, more, please.

That was so good thank u for this

I really enjoyed that.

All of the swans were terrible mothers.

@indiascarlett Wow, you truly outdid the first video. I’ve already said that your narration is first rate. I have to say, your collection of illustrations is mind blowing. I really enjoyed watching this. I do love these swans more…Two fashion designers who made their own way. Somehow Gloria Vanderbilt manages to be relatable to average Americans.

Thank you, the program was so well presented and you have a lovely soft voice, its very relaxing.

This is wonderful, thank you!

Truman Capote was not a good person, anyone who betrays friends is not a good person, in my opinion.

Beautiful overview, thank you SO much

Excellent in every respect !

Really enjoyable and informative ,appreciate and admire your in-depth research ,great work ,I certainly intend to watch any further documentaries you intend to make .

Love, Love, Love your ideas on delving deeper into the lives of these women, especially their homes and gardens. love your channel. Just found it today. 🎉

Great Series and Story... Sad Lives.

Excellent video. Very well done. Thanks.

Very interesting. Truman really was a snake. The more I hear, the clearer it is.

Very informative and interesting. Great pace with presentation of the swans and their lives. Well rounded and interesting

Very well done expose’.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

WOW. BRILLIANT IDEA, WONDERFUL, EDUCATIONAL CHANNEL!!

Wonderful video

I would love to hear more about the Posh Models of the early years!

Yes, anything that strikes your fancy, my dear.

Absolutely fascinating

Would love to see the glorious homes

Yes please cover the models u mentioned and the other people.❤

i think that shot at 9:17 was taken in italy. jackie was there without john. vanity fair did a big story about it some years ago.

Loulou de la Falaise! Please!

Thank you. Very nice 😀

The sad thing about Capote's life was that he needed his mother to love him and hated the fact that all she wanted was to be a socialite but never was.

It's my impression that even though Capote loved these women he had a deep seated resentment of them which he may not have acknowledged to himself. And I had forgotten about Jacqueline de Ribes. I remember her from the 80's and how intriguing she had been.

Yes make all the suggested content
