Flavorwire: Holly Woodlawn, the transgender trailblazer who starred in such iconic underground films as Women in Revolt and Trash, and whose story opens Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side,” died on Sunday at the age of 69.
By odd coincidence, I picked up Ulta Violet's FAMOUS FOR 15 MINUTES this weekend at a Friends of the Library book sake. Holly was one of the last Factory denizens still with us. The passing of an era for sure.
According to the NY Times (favorable) review, a couple of the kids in SCHOOL OF ROCK sing a little of the chrous of "Walk on the Wild Side" so it isn't all Andrew Lloyd Webber!

And yet the Earth continues to rotate.
The passing of an age when kink was still bizarre, and not something you saw at the shopping mall.
