\n

\n Graydon Carter is ready to pull back the curtain on his storied stewardship of Vanity Fair<\/em>. And The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> can now exclusively reveal the cover of the magazine editor\u2019s memoir, out March 25 from Penguin Press.<\/p>\n

\n The dust jacket for When the Going Was Good: An Editor\u2019s Adventures During the Last Golden Age of Magazines<\/em> features a younger Carter in a bespoke power suit, cigarette in hand, his trademark hair wings just beginning to take flight.<\/p>\n

\n Carter, 75, was offered the top job at the Cond\u00e9 Nast magazine in 1992, taking over from Tina Brown, who\u2019d edited it since 1984 and was moving to The New Yorker<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\n Over the next two-and-a-half decades, Carter \u2014 who\u2019d immigrated from Canada in 1979 and previously helmed the groundbreaking, celebrity-skewering Spy<\/em> \u2014 transformed the magazine into a monthly must-read.<\/p>\n

\n His Vanity Fair<\/em> brimmed with tales of obscene wealth, celebrity and riveting true-crime \u2014\u00a0and, if the stars aligned, as it did for Dominic Dunne\u2019s seminal reporting on the O.J. Simpson trial, a story contained all three. Other memorable contributors from the era include Christopher Hitchens, James Wolcott, Maureen Orth and Nancy Jo Sales.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n It was the days of town cars, town houses and seven-figure expense accounts for top editors. Only Carter\u2019s former counterpart, Vogue<\/em> editor-in-chief Anna Wintour (who now also serves as artistic director for all Cond\u00e9 Nast), still stands as a remnant of that bygone era.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cOnly when you exit a golden age, do you realize that you were in one,\u201d Carter, 75, tells THR<\/em>. \u201cI wanted to capture the enterprising spirit and sheer fun of those wonderful years for others.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Among Carter\u2019s lasting contributions to the entertainment-media<\/a> landscape is the annual Vanity Fair<\/em> Hollywood Issue, mere inclusion in which meant a star had truly arrived. At its peak influence, the issue\u2019s covers assembled the most famous faces on the planet, captured like Renaissance paintings by photographer Annie Leibovitz. Herb Ritts, Mario Testino and Bruce Weber were also frequent contributors.<\/p>\n

\n Carter says his final Hollywood Issue cover<\/a> \u2014 which features Oprah Winfrey, Nicole Kidman, Zendaya, Harrison Ford, Robert De Niro and even Carter himself \u2014 \u201cwas up there in terms of my favorites.\u201d Radikha Jones has held the top editorial post at Vanity Fair<\/em> since Carter\u2019s departure in 2017.<\/p>\n

\n And it was he who masterminded the magazine\u2019s annual Academy Awards party, which remains one of the most sought-after Oscar-night tickets. The best part of every bash? \u201cHeading back to the hotel knowing the night had been a success,\u201d Carter says.<\/p>\n

\n But more than the glitzy Hollywood soirees, it was the day-to-day grind of putting out the magazine from New York that Carter misses most \u2014 which, in its golden age, was a form of glitz in itself. <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe glamour and exhilarating collegiality of a bustling office filled with smart, and smartly-dressed young people,\u201d is how he puts it.<\/p>\n

\n Carter currently oversees Air Mail<\/a>, a weekly news<\/a>letter for \u201cworldly cosmopolitans\u201d he launched in 2019.<\/p>\n
