Steve Rubell was a partner in the nightclub Studio 54 and was introduced to Warhol’s circle by the club’s jet-setting, Peruvian-born promoter, Carmen D’Alessio. Studio 54 was notorious for using bouncers to keep suburbanites from gaining entry to the celebrity sanctum that the club aspired to be. Celebrity door lists like those Rubell developed were a key social fixture in the club scene in New York in the 1980s. Studio 54 was also known for hedonism and drug use. Monique Van Vooren is an actress who appeared in one of Warhol’s films, Flesh for Frankenstein.
