Ummm... how did Capote have any knowledge of Rubi's... pepper mill?Originally Posted by RJman
Capote was a master at gaining the trust of his female friends, encouraging them to reveal their own secrets and those of others...although his revealing their confidences, particularly in the chapters published in Esquire that make up the unfinished Answered Prayers, basically got him ostracized from high society (esp. Babe Paley). Some of these women had presumably slept with, or "knew someone" who had slept with, Rubirosa. The quote about the "pepper mill" is from that book; N.B. the full quotation is somewhat...earthier. (Though not as graphic as the description of "Madame Marmalade" - definitely a book worth reading!)
Rubirosa is the subject of a recent biography, The Last Playboy, by Shawn Levy. It is an interesting book that reads like an extended Vanity Fair article. Kind of a guilty pleasure.
Sorry for the mild hijack.
This is a wonderful thread, Full Canvas, and I hope you will post more photos showing F1 in the 1960's!
