Access Capital in the Movies


Our Park Avenue location is not only a center for finance and business, but also a renowned destination for filmmakers, fashion shots and advertisements. There’ve been so many movies, commercials and magazine ads filmed here that the sight of a film crew is a pretty ordinary occurrence. After all, it was a subway grate on Lexington Avenue behind our building that was the site of Marilyn Monroe’s legendary skirt-blowing scene in The Seven Year Itch. And in front of a jewelry shop window just two blocks away on Fifth Avenue, Audrey Hepburn pouted as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Still, even though movie stars visit often to do their work, some do attract attention. Here are two that caused even our seasoned New Yorkers to get excited:

To the right is our own Donna Reichert, Vice President-Operations and Corporate Treasurer, taking a break from making wire transfers to clients to spend a moment with George Clooney when he was here filming Michael Clayton. Below are the girls of Sex in the City, in a picture taken from the front door of our building when they were here for the day filming a scene from the Sex in the City movie.
