From The New York Times:
Gore Vidal, the elegant, acerbic all-around man of letters who presided 
with a certain relish over what he declared to be the end of American 
civilization, died on Tuesday at his home in the Hollywood Hills section of Los 
Angeles, where he moved in 2003 after years of living in Ravello, Italy. He was 
86. 
An author, screenwriter and essayist with definite opinions and no 
inhibitions about sharing them, he took great pleasure in being one of the 
larger-than-life figures of his time. 
The cause was complications of pneumonia, his nephew Burr Steers said.

I'm planning on the "ASOTV" showcase will feature the League of Themselves 
next year.  And I already planned on using this clip to illustrate an entry on 
Gore Vidal.
From what I remember at the time, Vidal took this role on 'Mary Hartman, 
Mary Hartman' to show Truman Capote that he was the better actor.
Good night and may God bless.....
BCnU!
