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.
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.
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
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.
"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 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.
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...
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.
Fun! I've now seen her in two documentaries,both times she has really gone out of her way to say something very flattering and kind,really sick of bitchy people,she is a breathe of fresh air!
