Studio 54
Legendary New York hot spot Studio 54 - located on West 54th Street between Eighth Avenue and Broadway - opened on April 26, 1977 and quickly became the most fashionable haunt of the rich and fabulous in Manhattan. Created by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, the club wooed the most flamboyant and extrovert crowd on the east coast and regularly welcomed celebrities through its doors to a glittering palace of sex, drugs and decadence. Less than three years after it opened, Studio 54 in its original guise was gone, after the founders faced charges of tax evasion. Matt Tyrnauer's film is a revealing documentary about the rise and fall of Rubell and Schrager, and the legacy they created with a venue that warmly embraced the blossoming gay counterculture of the late 1970s.
