Personal Quote:

Andy [Warhol] was very secluded... Sometimes I would go up to him and suggest something that we could do, and he would listen very nicely and ask Gerard to give me his reply...

Trivia:

He starred in only one full-length Warhol film - My Hustler in 1965. He later maintained that he was unaware of what the film was about, saying that "I was on LSD the whole time, and I thought I was just going through some practice motions." He thought that they were supposed to return to the house on Fire Island where My Hustler was shot in order to finish the film... See more »
