s something that you don't, you cannot...learn.
It's something that has to come from within you. And bit by bit, be arrived at and it's simply there like the color of your eyes."
FAITH LAPIDUS: Truman Capote decided to celebrate his new success. In nineteen sixty-six he gave what people called the "party of the century." He invited five hundred friends for a night of eating, drinking and dancing at the Plaza Hotel in New York. Guests included famous writers, actors and important people from the media. They were told to wear either black or white formal clothing.
Capote's "Black and White Ball" was one of the most famous events in the history of New York society.
BOB DOUGHTY: But Truman Capote's popularity soon decreased. His drinking and drug use seriously affected his health. His writing also suffered. He published stories that insulted his rich and powerful friends. Many people no longer wanted to have anything to do with him. Capote died in ninety eighty-four. He was fifty-nine.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Truman Capote's writing is still celebrated today for its clarity and style. In two thousand five the film "Capote" renewed interest in his work and personality. This little man from Alabama left an important mark on American literary culture.
