Lee Radziwill stayed beautiful a long time. Or maybe it was 13 1/2, like Hercule's in 'The 120 Days of Sodom' by Sade. You mentioned Porfirio Rubirosa in a much later post, that may have been the Aidan Shaw one, but Capote wrote about PR's Prick as 'an 11 1/2 inch cafe-au-lait sinker-in the first of the three chapters of 'Answered Prayers'.
Tried to be tough when doing 'In Cold Blood', which is overrated.
'Breakfast at Tiffany's' is a fine story, and he was furious about the movie, casting-wise (wrong) and ending-wise (right, but the Hepburn-Peppard ending works too). An atrocious Canadian film was made in the 90s based on it, and instead of 'going to the filligreed Randolph' (I've always wondered what they did-really quite perverse the possibilities), he tells Randolph he hates him and runs away from his dying father's house. 'Other Voices, Other Rooms' is peerless in its exoticism which moves into elegance at the end.

He died of liver cancer in 1984 at the Los Angeles home of Joanna Carson, ex-wife of TV host Johnny Carson, on whose show Capote had been a frequent guest.

Although Capote subsequently underwent a facelift, lost weight and experimented with hair transplants, he became a recluse after the revocation of his driver's license and a hallucinatory seizure in 1980. Various chapters published in Esquire magazine (1975-76) betrayed the confidences of high profile friends such as Tennessee Williams and William S. The much-delayed publication of Answered Prayers (1986, posthumously) brought about his fall from grace with high society. In this photo Capote, host of the Black and White Ball at the Plaza Hotel, escorts the guest of honor, Katharine Graham (1966). Capote dangled the prized invitations for months, snubbing early supporters as he determined who was “in” and who was “out”. Held in the grand ballroom of the Plaza Hotel, the Black and White Ball was a legendary social event. In 1966 Capote hosted a gala honoring Katherine Graham, Washington socialite and publisher of The Washington Post. Vidal once observed, "Truman Capote has tried, with some success, to get into a world that I have tried, with some success, to get out of." Lee Radziwill, the sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, supplanted the older Babe Paley as Capote’s primary female companion in public appearances. Capote confessed to a sexual liaison with actor Errol Flynn and other high-profile bisexuals, but he famously claimed to know many high-profile people he had in fact never met, such as Greta Garbo. While he had two serious relationships with men – Smith College professor Newton Arvin (1946-1949) and ballet dancer/novelist/playwright Jack Dunphy (1949 until Capote’s death) – they were not exclusive Arvin lost his teaching job after his homosexuality was exposed, but Dunphy became the chief beneficiary of Capote’s will. The highly praised biopic film Capote (2005), in which Capote was played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, spanned the years Capote spent researching and writing the wildly successful book.

But it was a 1959 Kansas quadruple murder that inspired Capote’s 1966 non-fiction novel and movie that made him rich and famous: In Cold Blood.
The novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1958) introduced the character of Holly Golightly, becoming one of Capote's best known creations, and the prose style prompted Norman Mailer to call Capote "the most perfect writer of my generation." Most critics agree that in the 1961 film version, Holly Golightly was Audrey Hepburn’s defining role (shown at right), although Capote was highly critical of the film’s many digressions from the original source.
