Black and White Ball : ウィキペディア英語版 | Black and White Ball The Black and White Ball was a masquerade ball held on November 28, 1966 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Hosted by author Truman Capote, the ball was in honor of ''The Washington Post'' publisher Katharine Graham. ==Impulse== Truman Capote decided in June 1966 to throw a lavish party. He was at the height of his popularity as an author and as a public figure following the publication of his non-fiction novel, ''In Cold Blood'', earlier that year. For the first time Capote had the financial resources to host a party he deemed worthy of the friends he had cultivated in high society. According to Capote's friend, the writer and editor Leo Lerman, Capote had declared in 1942 on a journey to the writer's colony Yaddo that when he, Capote, became rich and famous he would throw a party for his rich and famous friends. Capote always discounted the story but through constant repetition it became part of the ball's legend.〔Davis, p. 16〕 Capote's friend, author Dominick Dunne, had given a black and white ball in 1964 for his tenth wedding anniversary. Capote attended with Alvin Dewey and others he had met while researching ''In Cold Blood''.〔Dunne, quoted in Plimpton, p. 249〕 Capote was also inspired by the "Ascot scene" from the film ''My Fair Lady'' in which the women were all dressed in black and white.〔Clarke, p. 370〕
