First off, I didn't know she was still alive. Reading her bio above, it's interesting that she never published another book after TKAM.

Some poeople theorize Truman Capote had a heavy hand in To Kill a Mockingbird. Mockingbird does seem his kind of work. Anyway, what a lucky break for her to have been best childhood pals with Truman Capote. I'm sure at the very least he was a terrific beta, and opened doors for her. (Of course she served him well as a research assistant and investigator for In Cold Blood.)
