Kate Harrington opens up about her unconventional relationship with Capote for the first time in Ebs Burnough’s documentary The Capote Tapes
“There are two things I really wanted to [tackle] in the film,” said Burnough. “[Capote’s] courage, in being out and this gay men in 1958.... The other thing that I think was important for me in the film was that he was an addict. It was important for me to talk about drugs and alcohol, and the huge effect they were on this person. And the psychology of that, and how it fueled him, and how it emptied him.
Living with Capote, Harrington noticed that the calm protector she knew—quick to kibosh an older movie star’s flirtations with Harrington at a Beverly Hills party, for example—wound himself into a catty caricature at social events. But he took such good care of her—and watched out for her in a way her father never had—that, when Capote began his downward spiral, Harrington loyally stuck by her mentor.
