Trivia:

She sent Andy Warhol a threatening letter from Paris. She had gone there in November 1968 using a round-trip ticket that Andy had paid for. In the letter, she threatened: "If you don't send me money, I'll work against you as well as I worked for you". Warhol was disappointed by her behavior and ignored her. See more »
