From the Author
I am writing the biography of Candy Darling.
Candt Darling was, for many years, my closest friend and you will see a that reflected in Mary Harron's I SHOT ANDY WARHOL in which I have writing and story credit.
The majority of Candy's papers were destroyed by her family several years after her death and what you read in my book is the sole written record of her thoughts,passions and dreams as told by Candy.
Candy was an extremely intelligent person living through difficult times. She was not someone to be trivialized. A wide range of artists (filmmakers, writers, poets, songwriters, etc.) missed her after her death and that void was for many, never filled. When you read this book, you are reading an almost unedited record that she kept for her eyes only. I don't think she ever expected that a compilation of her writings would be done.
I believe strongly that Francesca and I gave Candy a voice again - through this book.
"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. Octavo, 9.2 in. X 6.3 in., pp. 127, [1]. Illustrated with photographs and drawings. Padded pink plastic covers with locking diary latch. No key (latch is unlocked). Light rubbing to covers. Warhol superstar Candy Darling was born into an alcoholic household in Queens, N.Y. where she lived with her mother after her parents' divorce. Darling, who was assigned male at birth, spent hours watching and studying old movies on TV,and impersonating her favorite actresses. This behavior that made her an outcast even in her own home where her mother confronted her over rumors that she wore women's clothes; rumors she did not deny. With milky white skin and large brown eyes Candy was, indeed, a natural beauty. She began getting hormone injections and frequenting Manhattan gay bars. By 1967, she had assumed the name Candy Darling and was starring alongside Jackie Curtis and a young Robert DeNiro in Curtis' play 'Glamour, Glory, and Gold'. One night Andy Warhol came to see the production and promptly cast her and Curtis in his film 'Flesh' (1968). Feeling movie stardom was destined, Darling was crushed when she was not cast in 'Myra Breckinridge' (1970). Though she found bit-parts in mainstream films, it was in the vibrant underground world where Candy Darling became a superstar. She portrayed a central character in Warhol's 'Women in Revolt' (1971) and appeared in such independent films as 'Brand X' (1970) and 'Some of My Best Friends Are.' (1971), where she portrayed a victim of trans-bashing. She also appeared on stage in several plays, including being cast by Tennessee Williams's to star in his work 'Small Craft Warnings' (1972). Darling was immortalized in music, most notably by Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground in the rock classics 'Walk on the Wild Side' and 'Candy Says,' and in the Rolling Stones' 'Citadel.' Along with Jackie Curtis and Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling emerged in the late 60s/early 70s as a bold and outrageous "transsexual" superstar of the youth-quaking underground, blazing a trail for greater transgender visibility and acceptance in the future. She died of Lymphoma on March 21, 1974 at the age of 29. (from Legacy Project Chicago). Seller Inventory # 87577
