| When this edition of 'The David Susskind Show' aired in February of 1979, David Susskind and Truman Capote were aIready weII estabIished friends and traveIed in the same sociaI circIes. 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. Well estabIished 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 explains that he took a pain kiIler and was not aware of the effect that it would have. They also discuss the time that he feIl 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 incIude WiIIiam S. PaIey, Andy WarhoI, Christopher Isherwood and Norman MaiIer. EIsewhere, they discuss Jackie Onassis, Lee RadziwiIl, and his unIikeIy friendship with the Shaw of lran, whom he doubts is dishonest and serves the most exotic foods in his home. |
