Marisa Berenson (1947- ) is an American actress and model who appeared on the covers of Vogue and Time. Yves Saint Laurent dubbed her the “Girl of the Seventies.” Her maternal grandmother was Surrealist fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli. D.D. Ryan (1928?–2007) worked as an editor at Harper’s Bazaar and was a regular on the best-dressed fashion lists. She was friends with many artists, musicians and writers, and she designed costumes for Truman Capote’s play, House of Flowers. Steve Rubell (1943–1989) managed the legendary nightclub Studio 54 from 1977 to 1981, which was frequented by Warhol. Similar in atmosphere to the Factory, the club mixed beautiful "nobodies" with glamorous celebrities.
