Diane Lane’s ‘Feud’ Role Inspired Her to Write a Book Fighting Against ‘Misinformation’: ‘How One Comports Oneself Is Important’


Diane Lane felt inspired stepping into theshoes of Slim Keith in ‘Feud.’

In the Ryan Murphy series, Truman’s so-called Swans were a group of ladies who lunch, laugh and lord over high society in New York in the 1950s and 1960s. Babe Paley (Naomi Watts) is the bleeding heart of the flock, but Keith is the iron-fisted enforcer who leads the relentless charge to cast Capote out of the gilded world they control, and he covets after his betrayal is revealed. While she can’t speak for Keith’s relationship with anger in real life, she is inspired by the socialite’s willingness to lay it all out for the world to interpret before she died in 1990.
