HOLLY WOODLAWN was part of the Andy Warhol Factory scene in the 1960’s and 1970’s, the wildly creative underground downtown Manhattan scene that created visual art, films, music, and performance. Along with fellow Warhol Superstars and associates like Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick, Sylvia Miles, Viva, Penny Arcade, and Candy Darling, Holly appeared in projects regularly and the gossip columns constantly. Her leading role in the film "Andy Warhol’s Trash," directed by Paul Morrissey and co-starring the iconic Joe Dallesandro, catapulted her to international stardom.
She was further immortalized by pal Lou Reed in his classic song "Take a Walk on the Wild Side:"
"Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitchhiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way,
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says ‘Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side...’ "
HOLLY ‘S FOLLIES is a new evening of songs and stories by this incomparable artist, as well as a frank question-and-answer session. It includes her signature rendition of the Lou Reed song "Take a Walk on the Wild Side," "Ugly Duckling", "Le Soiree Fini", and plenty of holiday classics. Woodlawn will be accompanied by Lance Cruce, long-time pianist for Joan Rivers. The evening will also feature "surprise" appearances by several downtown performance artists.
Holly made her cabaret debut in 1973 at New York's famed Reno Sweeney’s. She is the author of the autobiography A Low Life in High Heels. Among Holly’s other credits are the films "Women in Revolt," "Superstar: the Life and Times of Andy Warhol," "Twin Falls, Idaho," "The Cockettes," and "Is There Life After Sex?;" Madonna’s "Deeper and Deeper" video; and coach to Dustin Hoffman on "Tootsie."
