2. Capote was a legendary character - author and socialite - in the '60s and '70s.

He's best known for his books "In Cold Blood" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's." He hung out with the elite NYC social crowd, and was openly and rather flamboyantly gay in a time when there was a lot less acceptance of LGBT people. He became friends with "the swans," four wealthy women, until he wrote an article that disclosed personal information about one of them (the subject of the FX series). He was also a good friend of the author Harper Lee. I'd seen interviews of the real Capote, and in the TV series the actor has him nailed.
