The saltbox home in the Hamptons commissioned by author Truman Capote in 1961 has gone on the market for $14.6 million, the Wall Street Journal reports. Mr. Capote resided in the Sagaponack home, which sits on four acres near the beach, for 23 years prior to his death in 1984. He bequeathed the property to his partner, Jack Dunphy. When Mr. Dunphy died in 1992, the house was passed on to the Nature Conservancy, which then sold it to artist Ross Bleckner in 1993 for $800,000. According to a profile of the home published in Dan's Hamptons in August, Mr. Capote moved into the house shortly after the release of the film version of Breakfast at Tiffany's and spent much of his time there writing in the mornings (he completed In Cold Blood there). He would venture into town around lunchtime, run errands, and often drive over to historian Robert Keene's bookstore and then to Gloria Vanderbilt's residence to take a swim in her pool—whether or not she was home at the time. read more »

Rating: 3 1/2 stars (good-excellent) Are holiday movies the new musicals? There are a lot of them. We don't believe a minute of them. Yet the key to them is milking real charm from real people reacting in real time. For instance, before I offer this review of the easygoing Chicago-based Puerto Rican Christmas picture "Nothing Like the Holidays," I should point out that I am a fervent admirer of "The Family Stone." It has been one week since my last viewing; with Christmas edging closer, I expect to fall off the wagon again. "The Family Stone," which crams in more concerns than a season of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," has everything: silent looks, walks in the snow, a dying parent, uptight outsiders who feel distant from the clannish family, a clip of "Meet Me in St. Louis," a deaf son, a gay son-in-law and an improbable finish, after which everything's fine. Yet, I don't write that with a wink and nudge—I love "T ...
