"Courtney Love came up to me. She goes, Gray, Gray, you've got to let my manager in,' recounts Graydon Carter, former editor of Vanity Fair. I said, Why?' She said, He's got my money, he's got my car keys, he's got my drugs.' I said, Look, Courtney, I just can't deal with this right now."
"The first year, we did it very small, because I was worried we'd fail. But we had really interesting people—Mick Jagger, David Hockney, Billy Wilder, Nancy Reagan, and Betsy Bloomingdale, Carter recalls. The early parties were simply celebrities eating In-N-Out burgers."
The Vanity Fair Oscar Party stands as one of Hollywood's most exclusive events, surpassing the Oscars in prestige for many celebrities. Established over 30 years ago by talent agent Irving Swifty Lazar and continued by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter from 1992 to 2017, the party has attracted world-renowned actors, directors, presidents, and writers. The event maintains rigorous guest list protocols so strict that even major celebrities like Madonna and Michael Jackson faced exclusion. Carter's tenure saw the party evolve from intimate gatherings featuring notable figures like Mick Jagger, David Hockney, and Billy Wilder to elaborate productions. The magazine recently published oral histories documenting memorable anecdotes and testimonials about the party's legendary status and selective admission practices.
