Graydon Carter Reveals Why Harvey Weinstein Was “Banned” For Life From ‘Vanity Fair’ Oscars Party


Although Harvey Weinstein isn't attending any red carpet events these days, one exclusive event took him off the guest list before his scandal.

In his new book When the Going Was Good, former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter revealed that the disgraced producer and convicted sex offender was the one celebrity “banned” for life from the publication’s highly-coveted Oscars party. Serving as editor-in-chief at the glossy from 1992 to 2017, Carter began his star-studded tradition in 1994 after the death of agent Swifty Lazar, who was known for his own Oscars bashes. The ticket was so hot, Carter recalled that editor Sara Marks, who oversaw the guest list, “was the object of bribery, threats, and even abuse.”
