Tuesday nights in March find TCM highlighting old clips of interviews by Johnny Carson over the years - tonight included some comments by Truman Capote in 1972, in which he offered the opinion that most actors are “dumb”, and usually the better the actor, the dumber - “Marlon Brando is a good actor, but he’s so dumb he makes your skin crawl’, said Capote a minute before he came to the same conclusion about Jane Fonda and her political comments. Cage seems another case in point.....
Capote was a smart guy, despite his “proclivities”. Never attended school.
Saw the same show. Couldn’t help but think that the old drunken queen was right on that point in spades.
