Capote grew up the oldest of four children to Hortensia Ruiz Capote, a Cuban national volleyball player of Spanish Nigerian descent and Juan Enrique Pacheco, a Spanish born poet and Cuban revolutionary. He was once envolved with French Producer Prisca J. Du Boise de Maquillé, but the courtship was suddenly called off. He is older brother to Indie Photographer Cristina J. De Armas and distant cousin to the acclaimed American writer Truman Capote , through the latter's mother's second marriage to Joseph Capote. Arriving from Cuba's Mariel Harbor during the Mariel Boat Lift of 1980, the Pacheco family quickly established themselves in the small town of Staunton, Virginia after the family was sponsored by the local Catholic church. Capote spent his early teen years living between Staunton and Glendale , California after his father's sudden death by a driven motorist. He later suffered a crippling emotional breakdown following his mother's unexpected death in 1996 of a cerebral aneurysm. During a book interview in 2001, he contributed pride to his recovery and love to the breakdown. His latest written work, a graphic novel titled , is set for an early 2007 release. |
