Mayor of the Sunset Strip
by Kenny Campbell

Tartan Films presents
A Film by GEORGE HICKENLOOPER

Mayor of the Sunset Strip tells the story of music and fame through the eyes of pop impresario Rodney Bingenheimer, and his friends David Bowie, Gwen Stefani, Coldplay, Courtney Love, Oasis, Brian Wilson, The Doors, Cher, Nancy Sinatra, Mick Jagger, Brooke Shields, among many others.
Rodney first hit the infamous Sunset Strip as a teenager during its psychedelic 1960s heyday. A constantly evolving fixture as scenester, journalist, promoter and club owner, Bingenheimer was deemed "Mayor of the Sunset Strip." Mayor of The Sunset Strip depicts the unusual life of a man who was taken in by Sonny and Cher as a teenager, and went on to launch the careers of a multitude of stars who clearly have not forgotten what Rodney’s done for them.
