How Truman Capote Might Maneuver A Catty Social Media World: ‘Feud’ Stars Naomi Watts & Tom Hollander – Crew Call Podcast
How in God's name would Truman Capote operate in a social media world?
Much like our social media-driven news cycle today which is fixated on cancelation and schadenfreude, there arguably was a judge, jury and executioner style in Truman Capote’s published Esquire pieces, read “La Côte Basque 1965″ about New York City female elites. “With them (the Swans) they lived with that pain and regret,” says Watts about the women’s audience with Capote, “‘Should have I dealt with that differently?’ ‘Should have I said more to tell him that he was so horrific in what he did?’ It would have been more combative if it was in social media, if it was a war in today’s world. We talk with Watts and Hollander about the complex friendship between Paley and Capote (“They loved each other, and it was safe because it wasn’t a sexualized thing…Truman saw all the cracks and opened her up,” says the actor who once lost out to playing the New Orleans born author to Toby Jones in Douglas McGrath’s movie Infamous); what drew them to their roles and how hair and make-up worked into the dramatic process.
