Holly Woodlawn Interview

Interview with Warhol star Holly Woodlawn.

[@carolinaswampcritter]

Holly is so eccentric and glamorous! She truly has serious comedic skills. I wish I knew her personally. She seems like a hoot to be around. A person who could brighten up anybody's day.

[@captainal5]

if she was growing up in this generation there’s no doubt she’d be an excellent comedian

[@blahblah606]

Holly was such a great physical actress. The bit with the beer in the drawer. So funny. But she was also quite witty and insanely charming. 💗 "A mathematician I am not ". I use that line regularly and give Holly credit to anyone who'll listen. R.I.P Miss Woodlawn.

[@gary_sunday]

lol - i love that line as well. It was a favourite of a friend - Paul Lonergan who I wrote about in The Real World - www.amazon.com/Real-World-Gary-Comenas/dp/0998279366

[@greenonions5296]

"Thank God they do, otherwise I'd be fighting in Vietnam." Lol

[@ErykhaSnoh]

She brought pride to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@MindlessMannequin]

In terms of characterisation, this is the most amazing personality I have ever seen. I am quite surprised that I have never parodied this before, for my art.

[@thenightbreak]

Hilarious! Loved how she took a quick swig from the beer in the drawer.

[@xoffender74]

this is one of the best interviews i have ever seen

[@winehound89]

"I already solved it.. Oh the war?" LOL!!

[@richardpowers2313]

"Do you think you'll ever do Shakespeare?" and the questions the interviewer asks--OMG! He's so serious, and Holly is like "You're asking me these questions?" "A mathematician I am not!" which she answers completely honestly. I'm sure no one had asked her these questions before. Thanks for posting this amazing interview. I agree with Carmen FT in the comments--when she pulls the Bud out of the drawer and sips! OMG. . .

[@antonhaq3503]

Absolutely hilarious. It's inexplicable why Holly isn't a household name, God bless her.

[@gary_sunday]

Well, Lou Reed's song Walk on the Wild Side, is extremely well known - including as music in tv adverts - and much of it is about Holly.

[@antonhaq3503]

@@gary_sunday Her book A Low Life In High Heels is a great read

[@gary_sunday]

@@antonhaq3503 Yes it is. She was great when I moderated a panel discussion with her, Bibbe Hansen and Mary Woronov at the Hayward Gallery years ago which I wrote about in my book, The Real World. I've cited from her book on warholstars.org extensively.

[@antonhaq3503]

@@gary_sunday I must check your book out.

[@gary_sunday]

@@antonhaq3503 thanks - let me know what you think.

[@jaydee1124]

A blip of ingenious time that will never come again. Holly Woodlawn is an icon.

[@billyjoechoctaw1706]

Love the quick sip from the budweiser can in the drawer. Poor thing's So addled.

R.I.P. Holly Woodlawn

[@melancolie83]

God I adore her

[@JeffreyAllan]

Rest in peace Ms. Woodlawn. You made me laugh and I still can't take out the Trash after you immortalized it. Maybe I'm just lazy. Nope. That isn't it. So I will continue to use you as an excuse if that's alright. Now burn bright and shine down on us all like the star that you are...

[@aworld66]

NEVER FORGET YOU HOLLY WOODLAWN!!

[@eBrigid]

Holly, I love you so much! You will always be in my heart!

[@jessicamshannon]

+Brigid - Brigid as in Brigid Berlin? She's my favorite factory personality. What a woman.

[@zummy66]

Mine too!

[@vanillaboy4514]

The interviewer really went right from “what is your opinion on the Vietnam war” to “is it against a man’s rights to get circumcised”

[@kikoonthemove]

I'm pretty sure I'm the only 13 year old girl who is absolutely amazed By Holly! I love her and her comedic talent is so on point.

[@kikoonthemove]

Nearly 3 years ago....wow

[@kenzieboyle4482]

Kristen Van Houten I'm 15 and I like her as well

[@112367]

[@exeuroweenie]

Along with Divine and Candy Darling,a drag queen I wish I'd known.Blue eye shadow,double smoking and that appealing Latina/Puerto Rican personality are a magical combination.
