"Unveiling the Intriguing Finale of 'Feud: Capote vs. the Swans'"
The docudrama "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans" reveals the surprising auction of Truman Capote's ashes by his confidant Joanne Carson after her death, with the remains selling for close to $44,000. Carson had kept the ashes in a wooden box and considered them a source of comfort, even taking them with her when she traveled. Despite ethical concerns, the auctioneers decided to include the ashes in Carson's estate auction, ultimately attracting significant attention. However, it's important to note that only Carson's portion of Capote's remains was auctioned, as a large amount of his ashes were interred in a Los Angeles cemetery.
