Before becoming the legendary nightclub, Studio 54 was a CBS television studio where shows like 'What's My Line?' were filmed.
The club had a hidden door used by celebrities to bypass the main entrance and avoid the paparazzi.
Steve Rubell, one of the co-founders, was a former lawyer who transformed the venue into a nightlife phenomenon.
In 1980, the club's owners were arrested for skimming $2.5 million and failing to report it to the IRS.
The club's opening in 1977 attracted celebrities like Mick Jagger, Liza Minnelli, and Andy Warhol.
The club was famous for its extravagant and ever-changing decor, including a giant moon with a cocaine spoon.
The club's history and cultural impact inspired the Broadway musical '54 Below,' which opened in 2012.
The club epitomized the hedonistic and glamorous lifestyle of the late 1970s disco scene.
The club was notorious for its selective entry, with doormen choosing guests based on their style and charisma.
