Beach Boy at the Club?
Lenny Miestrom, the renowned busboy of the club, is captured in his element. It’s 1979, and there he is, shirtless and sporting red shorts, embodying the uninhibited spirit of the era. He wasn’t just a staff member; he was known for his charismatic mingling with the crowd.
This photo of Lenny is more than a snapshot of a night at the club; it’s a glimpse into the heart of Studio 54’s allure. He reportedly inspired the role of Ryan Phillippe in the movie “54.” He declared his role as an entertainer, not a bartender. Despite daily firings by manager Michael Overington for neglecting bar duties, he remained vibrant.
