Candy Darling Interview at the Whitney Museum (1971)

[bekindtoanimals100]

GROSS! A woman with a dick? EWWW

[BernardProfitendieu]

@sushimoustache no, the art really was his, he was a commercial artist before he became a fine artist, so his whole career. The movies he definitely just lent his name (and maybe funding? dunno) to to better promote. They were principally directed by Paul Morrissey who went along with it.

[robjacksontop]

She's my favorite actor.

[coolguitar123]

That's some incredible surgery done especially for the time. You prob couldn't even tell she was born a man. Her voice sound like a woman too....I don't want to use the words Creepy or Strange cause that would be offensive but...interesting I guess? Idk. I really don't want to hate but it really makes me wonder about other girls I know.......

[Candyfan993]

@coolguitar123 Candy never actually had any cosmetic surgery, or a sex change operation, but she did take female hormones which probably gave her a slightly softer look.

[vegetalian]

my gosh. seeexy!  aouuuuu!

[MsIfuckinghateyou]

god damn she is fuckin sexy. i am a straight male. i say she is a woman and fine as fuck. but it doesnt matter if i say so or not. she was. and is. its how we live when no one is watching that defines us.

[cnmmnc8852]

Everyone should know that Candy didn't "take it off". She was a 100% lady alone, at home, all the time, when no one was watching, with a will of cast iron, no matter what was going on.

[snoidburger]

Love the breathless debutante syntax, like she attended Miss Porters School for Girls with Jaqueline Bouvier !!!

[JDAeon]

Candy was so beautiful! 

[hippietoadable]

She's absolutely stunning!

[Byzantine76]

What made Candy Darling look even more beautiful was always standing next to that ghastly Andy Warhol.

[broadwaymelody33]

She reminds me of Lucille Bremer

[MedievalBaroqueLuver]

beautiful (:

[microbeat77]

everyone must see "woman in revolt" starring Candy. She was a woman....period. And this interview i love how she calmly sys "actually he doesnt direct tje pictures at all. He wasnt even there most of the time." she wasnt afraid of spaeking truth. And she does it so eliquently! She was a diamond in a rhinestone world.

[GallifreyanTARDIS]

Oh Lord, she's so beautiful and lovely! I honestly wish I had half her bravery and beauty.

[urora7]

marlene dietrich for sure

[rammstein11004]

that piece of crap andy lol always did that when asked a question i don't know and then ask who was standing next to him the question i don't know whomever what do you think made you just want to smack the face off the ugly puke. i owe a thank you to Valarie. good work to bad you didn't complete it though.

[nylon700]

very nice

[lisabolan1979]

Candy ..so beautiful

[MandyBuglet]

Her voice sounds like she was born a biological female! Awesome! I don't know much about Candy Darling, I was "introduced" to her through the film "I Shot Andy Warhol", and she was played by Stephen Dorff.

This interview really impresses me!

[Shanniquitie]

Candy was a woman because she said so. That is all, and that is truth.

WE CREATE OURSELVES.

[tensacross]

@Shanniquitie according to gaga we're born this way. (wrong!)

[Shanniquitie]

@tensacross the gospel of gaga involves surrendering all responsibility for our actions and our lives - an attractive philosophy, but also very cowardly. still, she wants you to buy her records/merchandise, so the more passive her audience becomes the better!

[pyschyamind]

Candy Darling is the shit she was a beautyful woman! She was born a man but lived as a woman so therefore was a woman! She was great

[LiamJamess]

it disgusts me how people like Jeffree Star claim to be SO original nowadays

[zoralmao]

Oh everyone needs to shut the fuck up. She lived as a woman, and that's what she should be remembered as. And she was beautiful.

[jocksmen]

WHAT A FU--ING CREW.!

ANDY USAED AND ABUSED ALL OF THEM.

[circethesorceress]

Candy was so poised; such a superstar.

[exeuroweenie]

Warhol creeped me out to no end.Candy Darling was quite a woman though(I refer to people as whatever gender they consider themselves).She had class and a lazer wit.

[201motels]

Love It!!!

[gazzah54]

what the fuck are you sad tossers on about leave the poor girl alone. in her mind she was a woman and she was more than a woman than the sad cunts who wright about her

[taty4ever]

ohhh. Regardless she is a women... she is so beautiful.

[taty4ever]

She is beautiful!!!! Such a tragedy she died so young.. Was she a drag queen??? or did she have a sex change???? Regardless of that.... Candy Darling looks like a women and is beautiful

[upcycle]

@taty4ever she was probably some form of intersexed if not genetic female.

[Candyfan993]

@upcycle No, Candy was born completely male and never underwent a sex change operation, just took hormones.

[Resiakkk]

@taty4ever

She was undergoing gender reassignment we she died. Or hormone replacement.

[BernardProfitendieu]

she let the cat out of the bag on andy not directing those movies

[sushimoustache]

@BernardProfitendieu "she let the cat out of the bag on andy not directing those movies" - yes. I think everyone is so caught up in how she was so pretty and such is why your observation hasn't been remarked upon until now.

Do you suppose Warhol just had a bunch of art students doing stuff and he just put his name on it so it would sell and make money? Was Warhol as an artist himself as much of a Warhol production as the Velvet Underground?

[sushimoustache]

@BernardProfitendieu

It almost seems that at the beginning of the video that Warhol has kind of set Candy up to look foolish by having the interviewer ask her questions, and pointing out that she's never been to a museum outside of her school days.

There's a break in the video where the light changes and we can't tell how much was cut out, but just maybe at the end she was actually being crafty and trying to embarass Warhol.

[20somethingstories]

@sushimoustache Warhol had a thing for humiliating people, especially friends and artistic subjects, the former and the latter generally being one in the same. He always seemed so detached and innocuous but I gather he was rather vicious in that respect. I don't suppose any of the Warhol crowd was particularly cultured, including Warhol himself. It was a rag tag operation he ran. I personally think his navigation of and commentary on celebrity culture remains his most enduring artistic exploit.

[broadwaymelody33]

She's gorgeous.

I can't believe she wasn't a woman since birth!

[Sammit2]

Gorgeous!

[rawrsqueak]

candy darling is a million times better than chris crocker.

[blondambition7]

Wow Candy Was really pretty I couldn't she was a guy in a good way
