La Côte Basque may no longer exist, but earlier this year, the defunct New York destination for the 1 percent to opt for an expensive lunch might have become the city’s hottest restaurant. .That’s because that was the epicenter. Feud: Capote vs. Swansthe Ryan Murphy-produced series about the legendary feud between Truman Capote and his team (Babe Paley, CZ Guest, Slim Keith). esquire. To say the least, the Swans were not happy about this betrayal. Murphy’s series features a killer cast of great actors, including Tom Hollander, Naomi Watts, Chloë Sevigny, Demi Moore, and Molly Ringwald, and brings Capote and his friends at their best (and Even better, he played the worst version of himself) and gave his all. The focus is on design (by Mark Ricker), costumes (Lou Eyrich, black and white ball assistance by Zac Posen), and over-the-top drama. Is it historically accurate? It may not be perfect, but this is a compelling and unforgettable document from a bygone era that in many ways foretold our own problems. Best of all, it captures iconic moments in American history with care, humor, and plenty of sour grapes, leaving fascinating breadcrumbs for generations to come. — Adam Rathe, Deputy Features Editor
