Halston on Netflix: Did Someone Really Die in the Studio 54 Vents?
On 5/14/21 at 10:30 AM EDT
Halston on Netflix features some moments of very disco-era debauchery, but one moment seems particularly lurid. Episode 4 begins by telling the story of Studio 54, a legendary New York nightclub famous for its celebrity clientele and excess.
The episode, titled The Party s Over , also makes reference to a famous story about the discotheque. In an early scene, we see a woman turned away from the club, only to try and sneak in through the air vents. The next day, Halston (played by Ewan McGregor) learns that the woman died in the vents of the club.

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.

(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’s not a word you could accurately throw around about anybody who frequented Studio 54 during its brief reign of glory in New York in the late 1970s.
As we see in numerous scenes on “Halston,” that place was crazy. An absolute madhouse of debauchery. And certainly too chaotic to last.
