Truman Capote's Black and White Ball

You can't help but feel the sting of not being invited to a party dubbed "the party of the century." Around 500 guests were invited to the talented Truman Capote's masked ball held at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. All of Manhattan's most famous and elite were in attendance, so an invitation meant more than just entry to a fabulous night. Don't worry about not getting on the list, though-- it was all the way back in 1966!
