    • Cady Lang
    • Truman Capote. In Feud, Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) has insider's access to one of the world's most exclusive circles—New York high society. The writer, who became a veritable celebrity himself with the outstanding success and critical acclaim of works like Breakfast at Tiffany's and the true crime nonfiction novel, In Cold Blood, grew close to many of leading socialites of the time and became privy to their secrets, scandals and vulnerabilities of the social scene's most high profile women.
    • Babe Paley. Though all of Capote's swans in Feud are glamorous and powerful society fixtures, Babe Paley (played by Naomi Watts, who also serves as one of the series' executive producers) emerges as the undisputed yet graceful leader of the pack.
    • Slim Keith. In Feud, Slim Keith (played by Diane Lane) is the most spirited of the swans—and the most stubbornly committed to holding a grudge against Capote after the publication of "La Côte Basque 1965."
    • C.Z. Guest. On the show, C.Z. Guest (played by Chloë Sevigny) is the only swan that continues to associate with Capote socially after the publication of "La Côte Basque 1965"—which, as Slim Keith shrewdly notes, is easy because she wasn't mentioned in the damning article.
