Decades before Bruce Jenner became a transgender woman named Caitlyn, there was Warhol muse Holly Woodlawn, who recently succumbed to brain and liver cancer at the age of 69.
Holly Woodlawn was the stage name of one of Andy Warhol’s best-known “Superstars” — the collection of social and sexual outcasts who comprised the famous pop artist’s circle of friends and hangers-on. While with Warhol, she starred in his terrible movies, attended his fabulous parties and did a lot of drugs.
She is, however, most famous for being immortalized in Lou Reed’s hit song “Walk on the Wildside,” which goes like this:
Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
Candy came from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybody’s darling,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She sayes, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Rest in peace, Holly.
