0 reviewsA Must-Read: The New York Times Book Review & Nylon
From the acclaimed biographer Cynthia Carr, the first full portrait of the queer icon & Warhol superstar Candy Darling.
You must always be yourself no matter what the price . . . Don't dare destroy your passion for the sake of others.
The Warhol superstar & transgender icon Candy Darling was glamour personified, but she was without a real place in the world.
Growing up on Long Island, lonely & quiet & queer, she was enchanted by Hollywood starlets like Kim Novak. She found her turn in New York's early Off-Off-Broadway theater scene, in Warhol's films Flesh & Women in Revolt, & at the famed nightclub Max's Kansas City. She inspired songs by Lou Reed & the Rolling Stones. She became friends with Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin, borrowed a dress from Lauren Hutton, posed for Richard Avedon, & performed alongside Tennessee Williams in his own play.
Yet Candy lived on the edge, relying on the kindness of strangers, friends, & her quietly devoted mother, sleeping on couches & in cheap hotel rooms, keeping a part of herself hidden. She wanted to be a star, but mostly she wanted to be loved. Her last diary entry was: “I shall try to be grateful for life . . . Cannot imagine who would want me.” Candy died at twenty-nine in 1974, just as conversations about gender & identity were beginning to enter the broader culture. She never knew it, but she changed the world.
Brimming with all the fizz & wildness of New York in the 1960s & ’70s, this is the first biography of this extraordinary figure—an unintentional pioneer who became an icon. Cynthia Carr’s Candy Darling is packed with tales of luminaries, gossip, & meticulous research, laced with Candy’s words & her friends’ recollections, & signals Candy’s long-overdue return to the spotlight.
Includes 16 pages of color photographs
