    Talk shows in the 70s were sooooo good!!!! I was a kid then but i would watch all these talk shows even when i did not understand who the guests were - because everyone was so fascinating & entertaining. There is nothing like it now. And celebrities of today are not very interesting…….😊

    I was watching Truman Capote on talk shows in the late Sixties when I was a teenager, and was very fasinated by him. Who is this man with such a strange voice, and such good stories that everyone wants to hear. Have been a fan ever since. Now I am into finding out all I can about Evelyn Keyes. Awesome seeing them here together.

  • @mwj5368

    Wow! Truman's creative mind-set and so spontaneous! He flows with metaphor and verisimilitude and his concept of what constitutes beauty. I could see Steve Allen in a sense practically levitate from his chair ha! I wish he had been conducting the interview as I was taken by Truman's unique semblance of beauty, his means of which he perceived beauty in Charlie Chaplin in his old age, of what for Truman transcended age. It was a flashing and magical moment. I think that Truman's visuals were metaphorically reaching into Charlie's soul, the depth of his character, a true creative genius. I could see Evelyn beginning to connect with it too, a connection to what for me would have developed even further into what was for me the best part of the whole interview. Thanks Alan Eichler for posting this!

      Alan, Capote went on many television shows yet the record of his appearances isn't here on RUclips. It's very scant, and most are only snippets. Too bad, really. I wish more people would post his appearances. I know he went on Cavett during during this period of his life, when Dick had an abbreviated half-hour show. It's nowhere to be found.
