Fascinating remembrance of a unique artist, 26 January 2005
10/10
Author: rspringman from United States

Fascinating remembrance of a unique artist who could seemingly change his sex at will, and also was a talented playwright and performer. Recalls the Warhol era in New York City which saw wide artistic experimentation in art, underground theater, and experimental film. The film includes archival film and video shot in the late sixties and early seventies and hundreds of photographs. Most interesting is the look inside the apartments of about two dozen interviewees in New York and Hollywood, including obscure artists and people like Lily Tomlin and Harvey Fierstein. The stories told by Jackie's surviving friends and colleagues are priceless - and hilarious! Bravo to Highberger for capturing and sharing them with us!
