Black Entertainment publishing honcho Earl Graves and wife Barbara hosted a kickoff party at their Sag Harbor waterfront digs for this year's October 11 Rita Hayworth Gala "Beneath the Harvest Moon." Susan Hess is gala chair, Muffie Potter Aston and Nurit Kahane Haase co-chairs, and Claudia Cohen honoree. The annual fall gala is a pinnacle of the Manhattan social season, largely due to the efforts of Rita's daughter Princess Yasmin Aga Khan. She created the evening to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association to fight the terrible disease that ended her mother's legendary life.
