'Feud': New York heiress, Truman Capote's black swan, didn't mean to shoot her husband dead, author claims

Ann Woodward, a New York heiress who took her life after being accused of murdering her husband, is depicted in the FX series "Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans."

"Truman Capote wrote a false story that had devastating consequences." "She came out, she took her shotgun and fired it down the hall, killing her husband." Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.

The New York socialite found herself in the crosshairs of Truman Capote following the fatal shooting of her wealthy husband, and she paid with her life. In 1975, the 59-year-old was found dead in her duplex apartment on Fifth Avenue. The mother of two poisoned herself with cyanide.

The shocking true-crime case that rocked Manhattan’s elite is highlighted in the limited series "Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans," which explores how the secrets of high society made their way into the pages of the author’s works. The series is based on Laurence Leamer’s bestselling book, "Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era."
