Holly

I met Andy Warhol in the Factory at a screening of Flesh. Through him I met Jackie Curtis, who cast me in her play Heaven Grand in Amber Orbit in the autumn of 1969. In October I was assigned a bit role in Trash, but so impressed director Paul Morrissey that I was given a larger role. In 1970 I received word from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that George Cukor, supported by others, was petitioning the Academy to nominate me for Trash.In May 1971 I replaced Candy Darling at the La Mama Theatre, New York in a production of Vain Victory written and directed by Jackie Curtis. I was arrested and briefly imprisoned in Puerto Rico after being caught shoplifting.By 1976 the work had dried up and I moved to San Francisco. I returned to New York later in the year and had a brief revival after appearing on the Geraldo talk show before being jailed again in 1977 for not fulflling a previous probation obligation. I was released on the appeal of politician Ethan Geto, who helped organize a benefit for me.I continued to make cameo appearances in plays and films such as Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss throughout the 1980s and 1990s. After Warhol's death, I was a frequently requested commentator on his life and influence. I currently resides in West Hollywood, California.I began performing in cabaret shows, incorporating stories of my life with songs that I felt reflected my life, in sold-out New York and Los Angeles performances in the early 2000s.
