The Owners
We really doubt that these wide smiles can be faked. Rubell is on the right, while Schrager is on the left. They look gleeful as they stood next to each other at a balcony inside their club during its early days.
Recently, in an interview, Schrager said, “I don’t have only good memories. I have bittersweet memories. It was an embarrassment to me. It still is”. Studio 54 was the hottest party spot in the entire world. It defined the disco era in all its ecstasy and excess.
Dancing The Night Away
Like we said, Studio 54 caught the attention of all sorts of people. It was not only celebs and socialites who went there on the regular. The nightclub was all about vibe, energy, freedom, and looseness!
It was truly tragic that they had to shut it down. However, eventually, the club was raided and its owners both went to jail. During their prison sentence, the owners of the iconic club ended up selling it.
