PIE IN THE SKY posted by J

I rented this documentary last week about one of the more infamous of Andy Warhol's Superstars, Brigid Berlin. "Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story" was everything and more.

Brigid Berlin, also known as Brigit Polk, struggled with weight, money, drugs, and Andy much of her life. She was a regular staple at the Factory, an amazing Polaroid photographer, and a muse to Andy Warhol ("The Philosophy's of Andy Warhol: A to B and Back Again" has a whole section dedicated to a phone call they once had). So anyway, I don't really want to give much more of this amazing woman's life away. Rent the movie.

But I'm including a clip from Chelsea Girls, one of the many Andy film's she starred in the post above.

p.s. This is going to be one of many posts to come showcasing some of Andy's many Superstars.
