Sylvia Miles - Andy Warhol Joe Dallesandro Nico and a Falcon

[Quelquefois1793]

Was she born in '22 or '32?

[rshope888]

Love Sylvia Miles- a true original, & one of our greatest unsung character actresses--especially in Farewell, My Lovely, Who Killed Mary What's-er Name, & The Sentinel-she's truly creepy in the latter!!

sylvia rules

[Dealit707]

"We were all the beautiful people!....heh! heh! heh!" No longer Sylvia! Take a look in the mirror, and please "pull in your tongue".

[shialabeouf17]

I've seen her in a porno with Joe Dallesandro, and she was an Oscar nominee,WEIRD

[solomonmonterrey]

LOL  shialabeouf17, what you call "porno" is probably the classic undeground film, Paul Morrisey's "Heat". Do some research!

[soccerchongas365]

Sylvia Miles is my girl.

[jkfromcincty]

Goldie Hawn won the 1969 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "Cactus Flower" over Miles' performance in "Midnight Cowboy". What!!

[CBHighberger]

Yes, astonishing isn't it? Cactus Flower was IMHO a silly comedy, amusing yes, but not something I would watch more than once. Midnight Cowboy is (IMHO) one of the greatest films ever made and the character of Cass is perfectly played by Sylvia - I have probably watched Midnight Cowboy at least a dozen times (including three times in movie theaters in 1969 the year of its premiere) WHY? Because the story and the characters played by Hoffman and Voight are just magnificent.

[snipbiss]

One beautiful chick! 29 years old!

[porkisgood4u]

She's one of last true blue superstar

[chevychase]

Sylvia you're still beautiful to me!!

[stargate121]

No offense, but if she was one of the beautiful people, I can just imagine who the ugly people were.

[MinkStoler]

well she was quite pretty in her own way back in the day

[porkisgood4u]

sometimes you gotta go beyond the age and skin, you will also get old and die too.

[stargate121]

Not me, baby.  Me and Fonzie are gonna live FOREVER!

[MARLONBRANDOFOR]

I love her. I saw at the Cowgirl Hame of Fame( The Restaurant) and sat next to her. She was a blast. It was a very memorable night.

[Angie420Boo]

WOW this is ma lil sis in about 50 years

[KAYNABE1]

we have the same last name

[carezzza]

What's not to love about Sylvia, but where did poor Nico go?

[rigarick]

Unfortunately, Nico has been dead for 20 years. She was declared dead of a cerebral hemorrhage at 8 P.M. on July 18,1988 on the Spanish Island of Ibiza. At the time of her death her occupation was sporadic singer and full time heroin addict. Sadly her later years revolved around heroin. RIP Nico.

[carezzza]

Yes, I know. I was referring to the story that Sylvia is telling in this video, about the Venice film festival. I knew Nico well.

[trn90]

Hmm the cause of death is correct. But Nico at that point was trying to get out of heroin. She was changing her lifestyle, eating healthy and doing methadon

[bootpig1]

The great thing about Sylvia is that she keeps plugging away for that Oscar. Anybody remeber her work in "Farewell, My Lovely," "Crossing Delancey" or "Wall Street"? She's ALWAYS excellent!

[CBHighberger]

Indeed, one of the greatest character actresses of our time. Under-appreciated. Oscar-worthy. A national treasure!

[sitedecinema]

Sylvia is a natural...she comes across as some sort of nutcase, but that's ok with me...

[jlamo1]

Not bad for 84 years old. I've run into her at least 3 times in NYC (all within the past couple years).  She likes her bars, and enjoys the city to the max.

[CBHighberger]

I took her to lunch after interviewing her in 2002 for "Superstar in a Housedress" and 4 times during our meal people came to the table to meet her/get an autograph/fawn over her, the wait staff gave us a bottle of wine... she loved all the attention!

[NEALCHRISTOPHER]

You can always see Sylvia around NYC. I guess now that Garbo's gone.....lol

[CBHighberger]

She is a New York native, born and raised in Greenwich Village. I adore her.

[CITYBOY114]

This clip is totally fun and entertaining! Bravo to Sylvia for never saying anything to Andy, and I'm thrilled Craig was able to dicument this funny story! Cityboy114

[RSPhil2]

Hilarious! I adore Sylvia Miles - she deserved an Academy Award for Cass in "Midnight Cowboy", how stupid they gave it to Goldie Hawn in "Cactus Flower". Sylvia you'll get that Oscar yet!

[CBHighberger]

I totally agree - I will never ever forget Sylvia as Cass, but have forgotten Goldie Hawn already even though I saw both films.
