His voice sounds like helium. I read the book In Cold Blood, and that article in Life magazine in 1967 about the movie version of the book. Mr. Capote was paid approximately $100,000 for the movie rights. There is a photo of him along with Robert Blake and Scott Wilson, who played the two killers. He also wrote the story for a 1972 made for TV film titled The Glass House about prisons.

@@CrystalLia231 I suspect that the most popular comments in KZfaq are generated by A”I” (that is, AS-“S” as in the opposite of “I”) or by some kind of robot. At least that’s how they sound, not just trivial, obvious, trite and formulaic, but also absurdly hyperbolic in praise, which is precisely how I imagine a robot would behave attempting to imitate a human-and failing miserably. Probably the thumbs-up clicks for the comments are generated by robots as well.

Truman Capote passed away at Johnny Carson's ex -wife's apartment. Don't remember if it was his first wife or his second wife Joanne Joanna. Anyway, he passed away at her apartment in New York. I thought that was sweet of her to let him stay there. I don't know if he died of alcoholism or what, but he was a very smart man. Had kind of trouble. Childhood is parents weren't around. I love his story of Christmas memory. It's historian being one of his cousins played by Geraldine Page when he was a young boy and Alabama. I guess we all have our quirks. I personally liked him and I don't know how old he was when he passed away but he was a great writer.

@hughjanus5336 4 ай бұрын

Long a heavy drinker and cigarette smoker, by the early 1970s Capote was abusing cocaine, alcohol, tranquilizers, marijuana and other substances. He died in the Bel Air home of Joanne Carson (a close friend and the ex-wife of NBC's Tonight Show host, Johnny Carson). The death certificate declared the cause as "liver disease complicated by phlebitis and multiple drug intoxication." His last words were, "Mama. It's Buddy. I'm cold." Buddy was his childhood nickname. Gore Vidal called Capote's death "a wise career move."

If you'll notice, Truman Capote spoke at a quick, conversational clip in this interview, and he was seemingly at his best here. However, in interviews he did by the mid-to-late-'70s, he was frequently drunk, slurred in a slow drawl, and his thoughts meandered. But considering that addiction helped to shorten his life, Capote's testimony on drug use should likely be dismissed.

My word Capote reminds me of my late but great friend who was a "starving" artist and although he was a very fun and outrageous companion he didn't come cheap the first time we met for tea I ended up £200. Out of pocket. Plus he was so annoying that eventually people would give him money to go away. I think Truman spoke very accurately about drugs and alcohol I would love to see the film Capote. No wonder all his swans were so fond of him I bet he was as much of a gossip as my late friend was.😅

Would be great if they found the report Tru wrote for his psychiatrist friend about his LS D trip. He's also hugely correct about the myth of drugs enhancing creativity. Making great art takes concentration of mind and talent, takes discipline, and drugs impair that. We all know Truman did succumb to drink and drugs- and basically gave up writing. It's like he's outlining the pitfalls he knew and by 10 years later..he fell into the pit. Will always be fond of him though.

I think he got it half right. The doctor who dosed him was actually correct about inducing schizophrenia, specifically in young people aged 18-25. The same can be said about taking copious amounts of cannabis. The comparison of knowing you’re in a dream is great. But where I think he’s off is by being creative in the use of drugs. I’m not saying he’s wrong because you certainly don’t need them to be a creative mind but it’s obvious that throughout history some of the best works were in fact produced by people under the influence.

@Jack__Bolt 5 жыл бұрын

@@mleecthulhu I think what Chris Gomes is trying to say and what most of the scientific community agrees on is that extended use of cannabis in persons with a PREDISPOSITION to schizophrenia can exacerbate the PREDISPOSITION. I've seen this before, and although it is not as extreme as somebody in the throes of a 'bad' LSD trip, which in fact does cause the person under the influence to exhibit symptoms of schizophrenia/schizo-affective disorder, cannabis will in fact exacerbate a predisposition, as I stated above. Not immediately, as many in the science community believed LSD to evoke, rightly or wrongly, as many times LSD would exacerbate the predisposition slowly over time or even CREATE a predisposition slowly over time. So, as an 'RN' you should know this, but I assume you are a regular smoker yourself and spend a lot of time reading 'scholarly' articles that affirm your own bias and narrative, possibly because of guilt over a psychological dependence on cannabis, and guilt coupled by the fact that you are a heavy user AND a 'RN'. It's never too late to stop. It'll only be a few restless nights and before you know it, you'll be typing legible replies again.
