Lee Radzwill was pathetic. So self-centered. No problem fooling around with her husband's friend and no surprise he dumped her for somebody else, the fool. To allow her beautiful sister to be insulted by low life, decietful Capote.. She deserved nothing from Jackie. She could never compete with her beautiful sister and that's just the way it is. She probably could've had a great friend with her sister had she not been such a self-absorbed jealous narcissist.

Rich ppl are involved in everything. Meaning there's an itinerary everyday.. it's to be followed strictly... So you didn't have kids to raise them you had children to carry on your name...! You had nannies to raise them an tutor's to train your children.. you as a parent checked on you an that's it...! Crazy times still happens today...

Thanks so much for doing a gingatic amount of work to bring this historical soap opera to live! Ive heard fragments of all these lives , but to see it compiled in such a timeline is super fantastic ! A myriad of historical adecdotes- The fame- the betrayal -superficial marriages- There really is so much to learn from the swans story and all thier lives- Somehow ,the grass isnt always greener? I always find hyped, beauty , fame and notoriety look at end of life alway say so much? All of those glamorous women lived unique lives, but at what price? I barley make a middle income , yet travel around the world? Go to India every year ect- Finding a way to go to far off lands, and enrich my life and passions without wealth,-proving its not about money? I was at a function with Mellinda G and a royalty event a few years ago...-a princess ect- Actually, I was hired to photograph 80 weathy socialites .haha-Engaging and working with them, I was fascinated looking into each of thier souls (eyes) as my main focus and somehow feelinga bit of thier truth? - all of them were trophy wives,(Not melinda) All running ar0und with bright smiles but shallow conversation? 5o/60/70 and a few young ones? All had weathy husbands that were much older? a literal mashed up plastic surgery! Think "Tanya, in white lotus,Jennifer Coolidge" with all of them-I traded recipes and told travel stories and made them all laugh ! for a day I thought I was being left in thier wills, hahaha,,.. . I could help sense the superficial sides and endless bragging/ insipid banter/conversation? "My dress is thirty G's"! haha that kind of thing! ------------ I digress , I am grateful for this! I had recently watch "The summer" the film made by peter and Lee with the maysles that eventually became grey gardens .A doc about Jackie Os relatives living in squalor- IT wasnt till I saw the unffolding of the real story made by netflix (drew barrymore and Jessica Lange) where we all learn about the legends of privilege they came from! BIG AND LITTLE Edith beale? This wonderful short doc just did it for me the same way- I know all these stories, but to see it in chronicle order is bravaaaa! Thanks SM! btw-Im gay, truman but that biggest hag of them all- The "in Cold blood" shocking betrayal , and then the swans, say so much about his about his own life lesson! Im a rugby (haha) masculine gay, so I never like the smart bitchy arrogant gays little truman!!!! ! ahha- btw do one on Wiliam F Buckley and fueding with Gore Vidal and every other person-Especially his debate with James Baldwin at cambridge-Id love to see that one-I cringe when i hear him talk!

Leonard was the producer of the wonderful Dick van Dyke show which Paley, for some reason. He planned to replace van Dyke's show with Howie, a series starring Paul Lynde based on a play by Phoebe Ephron, Nora's mother that ran for five performances on Broadway that it was that bad! Leonard went behind Paley's back to CBS's largest advertiser which I believe was PB &G . They told Paley in no uncertain terms that if he took van Dyke off the air they would remove all their advertising from CBS. I love the mighty fall low. There's always someone bigger on the horizon.

Something worth mentioning is that Truman's complicated relationship with his mother probably influenced the way he viewed his "swans". His mother basically abandoned him (she left him with some relatives at 4 years old) after divorcing his father. It was said by Truman and others that his mother desperately wanted to go from a nobody in the south to a glamorous life in New York. She changed her name and went into Manhattan looking for a rich man and the opportunities that came with it only to come back time after time crying to Truman about being broken-hearted and apologizing to him. She would repeat that cycle throughout his childhood. I believe that he adored the luxury and status that came with these women, but equally resented them and didn't consider them as equals because in his eyes they were looking for an easy and superficial way to make it, going out their way to do whatever it took to maintain their life style.

This women were gilded leeches !

I was a child and teenager during this time, far from this social scene, but with an east coast unmarried (gay?) uncle who moved in this scene, so I had occasional brushes with it. Even at a young age, I could never understand it. Marital vows and parental duties meant nothing. Unlike my parents, in this social set marriage meant nothing more than a business arrangement between a man and a woman. These women brought little to the table other than beauty, charm, and -- at times -- sexual prowess, social connections, and inherited wealth. Meanwhile, the motives of the women on the prowl were transparent but rarely spoken out loud: they sought great wealth (of course), social status, fame, and a man they could manipulate. Absolutely none of these motives on either side could lead to happiness, and I saw that with my own eyes growing up. In time, I thought this world was "dead." Modern women had a range of choices and should have a desire for quality education. I had the good fortune to attend an elite graduate school in the 1980s where, much to my surprise, I found women of this "old order" -- mainly debutantes from the South -- pursuing the same set of vacuous goals as The Swans despite pursuing graduate degrees. Graduate schools became the new hunting grounds for husbands among the students, the alumni, and the professors. My disgust for this social set knows no limits. Do modern women think so little of their own capabilities that landing a rich and/or high status man is all that gives them identity? I moved as far away as I could from these sorts and never looked back. 😵😒

I was a beautiful young girl. My mother had come from wealthier family that was now struggling during the depression. She always steered me away from the socialite lifestyle. She also married my father, who is a down to earth, hard-working man. He was a great father. He worked hard and developed his own business as a contractor, she always steered me away from the people who tried to get me to model and do things like that. She told me it wasn’t important. What was important was knowing God and having children and having a good husband who you loved and loved you. I thank God for my mother and my father.

Fantastic Video. You captured the life of these rich socialites so well. I showed my mother who grew up in the same era and C.Z. Guest was her fashion icon as they were both horsewoman. Well done, thank you❤

This was an interesting and well-done compilation of the lives of these rich socialites, filled with all the artifices that money could buy, but completely devoid of happiness. They should have been pitied, not admired.

Thank you so much for your comment! 🤗 And I agree with everything you said. They were all glamorous and rich and got to spend their husband’s money on whatever they wanted but also had to put up with their husbands humiliating them with multiple mistresses. I’d be a miserable chain-smoking mess as well 😭

@StoriesThroughTime Thank you for all of your hard work, time, and effort that you put into this documentary. It was very much appreciated. I agree with you that if we were born in that era, we, too, would have succumbed to those behaviors because it was what rich socialites were expected to do.

I am sure there were plenty of women who married less wealthy men that endured similar sexual betrayals. It is possibly nicer to be miserable and rich as miserable and middle or lower class. 😅

This was so interesting, and perfect timing for it.

I really love this video. I appreciate the topic, all the information, pictures, and length 😻 Thank you.

Yes, Quite the betrayal. Two wrongs don't undo, but these women certainly sounded like horrible humans. Despite his betrayal, they all lived the life they chose 😊

it seems that Truman was a horrible human being!… and then he was shocked they wanted nothing to do with him?!…

The Swans seemed to be as a Tiffany vase, beautiful, elegant, unique and expensive - but easily damaged, and no doubt if you turned them around, full of cracks and chips. No use to a good home not needing superficiality, and maybe that's how Capote ultimately viewed them and treated them.

Yes, and it was ssid that they actually viewed him as an intertainment, beneath them socially, close as they were...

This is so much enlightening, complex and incisive than all the fluff pieces like like so much jetsam and flotsam on KZread. Thanks for taking the time to do a good job.

Until the 1990s smoking was allowed everywhere. High schools even had a student smoking section. You could smoke in doctors offices, in court, in movie theaters, stores, college classrooms, restaurants. Even doctors encouraged smoking to deal with stress and anxiety

Money and lack of brains ruined Capote’s Swans. They were not women to be admired. Capote fell under their spell to his detriment. He should have stuck to befriending Harper Lee.
