I think the short story for "A Christmas Memory" comes from that.<BR/><BR/>Here's another little tidbit about him, one of his best friends was Johnny Carson's 2nd wife Joanna. When he died, he left her everything he had and apparently she was so taken with the man, that to this day, she's never been able to part with any of his possessions.<BR/><BR/>I love stories like that!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great post!Maggie Sumnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17952250815967538831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-39468331422695945122007-11-15T15:11:00.000-08:002007-11-15T15:11:00.000-08:00I'm not sure about the UN Plaza thing, but I'm pre...I'm not sure about the UN Plaza thing, but I'm pretty certain Capote was famous for living in BROOKLYN in New York.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-27576170770234668222007-11-15T11:10:00.000-08:002007-11-15T11:10:00.000-08:00A Truman tip/treat for you all.

As we enter the holiday season, search high and low for a videotape of "A Christmas Memory", the 60's version with Geraldine Page NOT the Patty Duke remake. I think it's only on VHS. Set yourself up on a quiet night, have a box of Kleenex handy and settle in for a story from Truman's childhood narrated by the man himself. Oh, you can also read the story in book form but, I'm telling you, this production is magical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
