The most beautiful people in Hollywood (inside and out, of course) emerged at the Mandeville canyon home of Susan Harris and Hayward Kaiser on Saturday to attend the 2015 Chrysalis Butterfly Ball.
Over 650 guests stepped out to honor remarkable men and women within the film, television and music industries who strive to achieve creative excellence and to benefit Chrysalis’ effort to help individuals out of poverty and homelessness by providing the tools necessary to gain employment.
