A Haven for the Youngsters

On April 3, 1978, Brooke Shields and Mariel Hemingway were captured attending a party at Studio 54, New York’s emblem of the disco era’s extravagance. At this time, she, already a dual sensation as a fashion model and child actress, had become a highly recognizable figure in the United States.
