Done & DunneShow Notes
In this episode, we explore the life, loves and friendships of Truman Capote’s Original Swan, Carol Marcus. Her name might not be familiar to you now, but hers is a story that is unforgettable. Including a rags to riches story, two husbands and three marriages, and two very best friends – Gloria Vanderbilt and Oona O’Neil Chaplin, Carol is also one of the main real-life inspirations for the character of Holly Golighty in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
