Happy Birthday, Truman Capote

In honor of what would have been Truman Capote's 85th birthday (he died in 1984), here are a couple of video interviews from 1966, as he talks about working on In Cold Blood.

In this video he tries to explain what he means by "non-fiction novel."

In this video he talks about what it was like to arrive in Kansas.

As an extra -- and extra-weird -- treat, try viewing this roast of Capote from Las Vegas, with host Dean Martin. It's crazy.

R.I.P + 3

Rest in peace, Don Knotts. You died three years ago today.

TV's Barney Fife is buried near a swaying palm tree in Westwood Memorial Park in LA. (Same cemetery as Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin!)

The gravestone couldn't be much simpler.
