Description

In the heyday of Andy Warhol’s legendary hub of art, subculture, & insanity known as the Factory, one performer made his mark like no other -- Jackie Curtis. A wildly creative, avant-garde performer, poet, playwright, & longtime friend & collaborator of Warhol’s, Curtis was well known as a cross-dressing phenom whose personal life went even further. In this shocking memorial tribute to Curtis -- who died tragically of a drug overdose in 1985 -- filmmaker Highberger delivers a fascinating oral biography of the original drag queen, including interviews with such counterculture luminaries as Michael Musto, Holly Woodlawn, Joe Dallesandro, & Paul Morrissey. Includes a DVD, Award-Winning Documentary “Superstar in a Housedress.” Photos.
