By Ben Windham “Imagine a morning in late November, a cold, crisp morning in November my friend would exclaim, ‘Oh Buddy, it’s fruitcake weather.’ ” - Truman Capote, “A Christmas Memory” “What is it,” mused my friend Walter Meigs, “with Alabamians and fruitcakes'”

I usually try to stay away from politics on weekends, but I love the writing of Dominick Dunne, and MarkSteyn's obituary about him does mention some inconvenient women who encountered some VIP's in Hollywood or other posh neighborhoods... Steyn's column on Johnny Mercer, born 100 years ago this week, is HERE . Mercer is mentioned in the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" , but...

This one comes straight from our collection of Free Online Movies. Beat the Devil is a 1953 classic directed by the great John Huston and co-written by Truman Capote, which stars Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, and Gina Lollobrigida. Not a bad lineup. It’s technically a noir film. But it’s really a dramatic comedy (or [...]

Diane Selsor Edwards, a relative of the Clutter family who were the subjects of the book “In Cold Blood” by Truman Capote, feels that Capote exploited the family (11/13, A1, “Put focus on the Clutters, not Capote”). She says he...

I took my mother to the theatre on Saturday to see Breakfast at Tiffany's , at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket. Breakfast at Tiffany's is a delightful tale, originally by Truman Capote, which tells the tale of Holly Golightly, an intensely popular socialite who winds up in a spot of trouble. The part is played superbly by Anna Friel, who is a more boisterous and playful interpretation of the character...

Fifty years ago, Holcomb, Kansas was devastated by the slaughter of a local family. And then Truman Capote arrived in town . . . River Valley farm stands at the end of an earth road leading out of Holcomb, a small town on the western edge of Kansas. You can see its pretty white gabled roof floating above a sea of corn stubble. The house is famous for the elm trees which line the drive, giving it the...

The great Truman Capote , a son of Louisiana, said, "All Southerners go home sooner or later, even if in a box." He was speaking of expatriate Southerners, but all Southern agree with the statement. We may leave the South...

Probably 15 years ago, I happened to be channel surfing and stopped on an episode of American Playhouse on PBS. I was instantly transfixed by the performance on the screen, and watched the entire thing. It was a production of the one-man show, Tru , about Truman Capote. I have wanted to see it again ever since, and it has been utterly unobtainable. There was never a VHS/DVD release of it, and it was...

He life hasn’t taken the path he thought it would, which becomes fully acknowledged after a depthless woman enters his life, bringing with her a surrealistic painting that includes a severed head from a reclining,...

HOLCOMB, KAN. It's one of America's most haunting crime stories: four members of a Kansas family brutally murdered on Nov. 15, 1959, at their rural farmhouse. The slayings of the Clutters - chronicled in Truman Capote's book "In Cold Blood" - have overshadowed the town of Holcomb for the past half century, and the trial and execution of the culprits brought little, if any, closure. For many...

"Is it true, Charlie?" Dolly asked, as a child might ask where do falling stars fall? and: "Have we had our lives?" "We're not dead," he told her; but it was as if, to the questioning child, he'd said stars fall into space: an irrefutable, still unsatisfactory answer. Dolly could not accept it: "You don't have to be dead. At home, in the kitchen, there is a geranium...
