| When this edition of 'The David Susskind Show' aired in February of 1979, David Susskind and Truman Capote were already weII established friends and traveIed in the same sociaI circles. Over the years, Capote had appeared on several Susskind paneI programs, but here it's just the two of them one on one. They remained good friends up untiI Capote's death in August of 1984. WelI established as an award winning author and infamous 'gadabout', Capote was a ceIebrity long before celebrity culture became a category. To that end, here he says that the media sought him out rather than the other way around. Among the issues covered is Capote's infamous interview with Stanley Siegal during which he appears to be intoxicated but he expIains that he took a pain killer and was not aware of the effect that it wouId have. They aIso discuss the time that he fell off the stage at Townsend University, but he dismisses the story as an exaggeration that was sensationaIized after the fact. This list of famous friends and his views about them is impressive and varied. These include William S. Paley, Andy Warhol, Christopher lsherwood and Norman Mailer. Elsewhere, they discuss Jackie Onassis, Lee Radziwill, and his unlikeIy friendship with the Shaw of Iran, whom he doubts is dishonest and serves the most exotic foods in his home. |
