The True Story Behind Truman Capote’s Ashes Being Auctioned Off on ‘Feud’
In the final moments of 'Feud: Capote vs. The Swans,' Truman Capote's ashes are auctioned off at Julian's, just like they were in 2016.
The final twist came 32 years after his death when a longtime confidant, Joanne Carson (played in the drama by Molly Ringwald), decided to auction off the writer’s remains to the highest bidder.
