“If I’m wearing pants, call me a man. If I’m wearing a dress, call me a cab!” Holly Woodlawn
Born on this day: effervescent underground actress, cabaret artiste, Warhol muse and transgender trailblazer Holly Woodlawn (né Haroldo Santiago Franceschi Rodriguez Danhakl, 26 October 1946 - 6 December 2015). In the late 1960s Woodlawn, along with Candy Darling and Jackie Curtis, comprised the trio of outrageous Andy Warhol Superstar queens name-checked - and thus immortalized - in Lou Reed's 1972 single “Walk on the Wild Side”. (Woodlawn outlived her friends Darling and Curtis by decades). I only crossed paths with Woodlawn once, when literary homme du monde Rupert Smith memorably interviewed her onstage about her life and career at London’s Drill Hall Theatre in September 2007. Physically she was already infirm, but Woodlawn gave a masterclass in charisma, wit and star power and reminded me of an escapee from a Pedro Almodovar film. When I was leaving, I told her what a pleasure it had been to see her and Woodlawn vowed, “Oh, you haven't seen the last of me! I'll be back!" Sadly, it wasn’t to be. The best way to remember Woodlawn is to watch her gutsy, hilarious and poignant performance in the Paul Morrissey-directed black comedy Trash (1970). Or the 1972 curiosity Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers, which has recently resurfaced. And read the juicy book Love You Madly, Holly Woodlawn: A Walk on the Wild Side with Andy Warhol’s Most Fabulous Superstar by Jeff Copeland via Feral Press. Read my interview with Copeland here. Portrait of Woodlawn by Jack Mitchell.
