With his suave style, devil-may-care attitude and irresistible charm, Curtis was the life of the party, drawing crowds and mesmerizing everyone with his moves on the dance floor. Whether he was performing one of his signature songs or simply enjoying the music, Tony Curtis proved that even in the midst of a career decline, he was still a star in every sense of the word.

Everyone, no matter who they were, had to attend Studio 54 during Studio 54's golden years. It didn't matter whether they were moguls or actors, if they wanted to be seen and admired they knew they had to go through those velvet ropes. Going to Studio 54 in the late 70s and early 80s wasn't just a thing to do, it was a right to go there.

While many celebrities went to Studio 54 themselves in search of something specific, Robin Williams was known for bringing his wife to this extremely hot dance club. Onlookers say he was always prepared and ready to take off. Even though the club was considered a scary place it could provide moments of hilarity.

 

Williams and his wife would often go to the club and stay late. Not much is known about what his wife did, but Williams was known to become the life of the party after abusing certain substances. He may have been America's darling, but he could do whatever he wanted at Studio 54.

Studio 54 came at the beginning of the era of celebrity, when everyone knew what David Bowie and Mick Jagger looked like. Fans knew that if they wanted to see their favorite stars all they had to do was go to Studio 54. That is, if they can get in.

When people talk about how popular this club was, they are not exaggerating by any means. It was on many people's bucket lists to attend. Even people who were sick or with broken and/or broken legs came out when they should have been in bed.
