Fun fact
Winnipeg's own Manitoba Legislative Building and downtown streets were dressed to pass for 1959 New York City in Capote.
The verdict
Won his Best Actor Oscar for Capote, a film shot largely in Winnipeg, Manitoba, standing in for both 1959 Kansas and New York. A New York stage actor to the bone though, born in Fairport, New York — Manitoba just did an unusually convincing impression of somewhere else.
