“Experience the Mystery” was the slogan and Far East
the decor at the Waldorf for the 27th annual Alzheimer's
Association Rita Hayworth Gala, underwritten by Rolex.
Naeem and Ranjana Khan received the Rita Hayworth Award,
while Marlyne Sexton was handed the Philanthropy
Award.
Other guests included Jonathan and Somers Farkas, Chele
Upton Chiavacci, Muffie Potter Aston, Anne Hearst McInerney,
Patty Smith and John McEnroe, Alexandra Lebenthal, Allen
Brill, and Michele Herbert. Founder and chair Princess Yasmin
Aga Khan established the gala as a tribute to her beloved
mother, Rita Hayworth, who died from Alzheimer's. A silent
auction got things going, but the real attraction was a performance
by the one and only
Rosanne Cash, who really got
revelers up on their feet. The
oh-so-glam gala raised over
$1.5 mil.
