(Some light spoilers ahead for the fourth episode of the Netflix series “Halston”)
The life of Roy Halston Frowick, better known simply as Halston, was not boring. That simply is not a word you could accurately throw around about anybody who was super rich and frequented Studio 54 during its brief reign of glory in New York in the late 1970s.
As we see in numerous scenes on “Halston” — as well, of course, from the many, many stories that folks have shared about it over the past four decades — that place was crazy. An absolute madhouse of debauchery. And certainly too chaotic to last.
Halston himself (Ewan McGregor) was a well known Studio 54 attendee in real life, partying there as often as he could, and the show reflects that — he, Victor Hugo (Gian Franco Rodriguez), Liza Minnelli (Krysta Rodriguez), Elsa Peretti (Rebecca Dayan) and Joe Eula (David Pittu) go there all the time,...

The legacy of designer Halston - which Netflix's miniseries Halston explores from beginning to end - is so intertwined with Studio 54 that of course there would be an entire episode dedicated to the club's infamous debauchery. In episode four, titled "The Party's Over," we get a glimpse of some of the wilder aspects of Studio 54's heyday, including the dress code (which sometimes included no clothing at all), the sex balcony, the rampant use of cocaine, and the lengths to which people would go to get in.
At the beginning of the episode, we're introduced to an unnamed woman, who is continuously rejected from the entrance into Studio 54 until she finds an open side door. From there, she manages to sneak into an air duct only to get stuck, with Halston later learning that not only was Studio 54 raided and closed, that cops found her body wearing Calvin Klein.
