Less than a hundred years before Truman Capote published "La Cote Basque" in 1975, a tell-all exposing the hypocrisy of New York society through sordid anecdotes about his closest female friends, another prominent socialite ruined a similar set of powerful women, tying Ryan Murphy's FX limited series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans to Jullian Fellowes' period drama The Gilded Age on Max. While the former examines the glamor of New York City's most affluent population in the '70s, The Gilded Age accomplishes the same in the late 19th century, when, like the characters in Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, capitalism galvanized unfathomable wealth for the city's most industrious members.
