Truman Capote, American author, novelist, playwright born in 1924




Truman Capote, known for literary classics as "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was born September 30, 1924.  His final novel "In Cold Blood" was widely praised but afterwards many of the events he portrayed in the brutal murder of a farmer and his family in Kansas have come under question.  Even though it was published in  1966, he managed to maintain his celebrity status by appearing on talk shows.  He passed away on August 25, 1984.
