<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Packed with stars, models, socialites, and everyone else who could sneak past the fabled velvet ropes, Studio 54 defined disco and launched the celebrity-driven culture of today. Noted writer Haden-Guest takes readers behind the scenes and tells the whole story--the glory days, the drugs, the deaths, and the corruption. 32-pp photo insert.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><em>The Last Party</em> is Anthony Haden-Guest's account of Studio 54 and the legendary New York nightlife scene of the '70s and '80s, now available as an IconIt Classic.Vivid, nonstop, and revealing, <em>The Last Party</em> is as packed with as much sparkle, scandal, and celebrity as Studio itself.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><em>Studio 54</em> was the icon of excess--a place where Andy, Mick, Bianca, and Elton lounged in the VIP section while patrons did drugs in the fabled unisex bathroom, and wannabes waiting for hours outside hoped to catch the eye of the nineteen-year-old doorman who was, for a brief moment, the ultimate gatekeeper of cool.</p><p><em>The Last Party</em> is the story not just of Studio 54 but of the whole Nightworld, vividly recalled by a writer and reveler who was there on opening night and on many, many nights thereafter. Anthony Haden-Guest takes us past the velvet rope, down onto the pounding dance floor, up into the polymorphously perverse balcony, and into owner Steve Rubell's office, where millions of dollars were surreptitiously skimmed from the golden goose. Vibrant, shocking, nonstop, and revealing, <em>The Last Party</em> is as packed with sparkle, scandal, and celebrity as Studio 54 itself.</p>
