Truman Capote had a feud with his Swans, sure. But do you know about the just-as-famous feud with fellow writer and raconteur Gore Vidal? Their epic battle got nasty, and it turns out Truman learned a whole lot about family matters from his bestie Swan, Lee Radziwell. Lee also happens to be a stepsibling of Gore through marriage, which makes the story even nastier. Today, we are backing the story all the way up to the mothers of Gore and Lee, Nina Gore Vidal and Janet Lee Bouvier. Spiderwebs abound!

In our summer series continuing with The Swans, we take a little journey this week into an adjacent story. Our focus this week is the beloved daughter of C.Z. Guest, Cornelia Guest. Cornelia was a whole entire scene in the 1980s, being the first celebutante. Bob Colacello writes all about Cornelia in 1988 in a delicious piece titled “A Deb Goes West” for Vanity Fair. Cornelia cannot get enough of Hollywood at this time with a new hair color and a new boyfriend too, Sylvester Stallone. The spiderwebs in this one are too many to count!

In this episode of our summer of Swans, we spend a little time with Truman’s Publishing Swan, Katharine Graham, America’s first female CEO of a Fortune 500 company and the honoree of The Black and White Ball. Katharine is a friend to Truman, but plays a far larger role in Dominick Dunne’s third act as well. David Begelman, the movie studio head and Hollywood hotshot, participates in a bit of criminal embezzlement providing Dominick Dunne a BIG clue on the way to investigative journalism career. Also included, a now-found missing chapter from Capote’s Answered Prayers. These few pages of “Yachts and Things” recall all about that time that Katharine and Truman sailed around the islands, made friends with a dolphin, and did some hashish too.

Included here is a quick primer on the event – the reason for the party, the planning, the guest list, the fashion, the competition, and all the underlying drama that Truman will pack into his big night.
