Eden Malinoff, a 24-year-old baker based in Los Angeles and Vito neighbor, hosted the Halloween-themed 97th birthday bash.

The Bee Gees were a musical group formed in 1958 by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, who became defining figures of the disco era. Their song Stayin Alive was written and performed for the Saturday Night Fever motion picture soundtrack and was released in December 1977. [5][6][8]
