The (too) warm-blooded genius of Truman Capote

Capote, raised with Harper Lee (Dill in To Kill a Mockingbird), authored Breakfast at Tiffany's, In Cold Blood, and co-wrote Beat the Devil's screenplay. His decline involved alcohol, cocaine, TV media visibility, and social shunning. Despite a $1 million advance, Random House posthumously published Answered Prayers in 1986. Capote was portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman in 2005.
