Transseksuelle Holly Woodlawn, kendt fra Warhol’s Factory-scene og to af hans film – Trash (1970) og Woman In Revolt (1971) – døde i går i Los Angeles efter længere tids sygdom. Mest udbredt er hendes navn dog nok ved sin tilstedeværelse først i Lou Reed’s største hit…

Holly came from Miami FLA
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
Said hey honey
Take a walk on the wild side…
