Who Plays Kerry O'Shea in Feud: Capote vs the Swans?
Ella Beatty recently made her acting debut, playing Kerry O'Shea in Feud: Capote vs the Swans.
She took Drama classes at Julliard School, graduating in 2022, and graced the screens as Kerry O'Shea, the daughter of Truman Capote's lover, John O'Shea, in the series.
Ella has been shown in two episodes thus far in the second season of the series, Feud: Bette and Joan.
The 23-year-old also happens to be the daughter of none other than the renowned American filmmaker Warren Beatty and acclaimed actress Annette Bening.
Meanwhile, here's more about Kerry and John O'Shea's relationship with Capote.
Meet Kerry, the Daughter of Truman's Lover
John O'Shea was once a married Irish Catholic banker with four children from Long Island.
Capote's friends weren't in favor of John as his boyfriend at the time, considering that O'Shea had violent tendencies and often abused alcohol.
Still, Capote trusted him as O'Shea was an aspiring writer who eventually quit his day job to manage Truman's career full-time.
According to Vanity Fair, their on-and-off-again relationship resulted in Capote suing O'Shea in 1976 in Los Angeles Superior Court for "allegedly stealing" his manuscript of Answered Prayers.
Although Capote dropped charges in 1981, their relationship ended badly.
Despite their strenuous relationship, however, Capote was there to help one of O'Shea's daughters. Specifically, the 13-year-old Kerry O'Shea wanted to pursue a modeling career and let her stay with him in Manhattan.
