The life of Warhol Superstar, Candy Darling, is lovingly revealed in this poignant and often funny documentary.

Of all the Warhol Superstars, Candy Darling was arguably the most glamorous – on screen and off. She was photographed by Richard Avedon and Robert Mapplethorpe, sung about by Lou Reed, starred in iconic Warhol/Paul Morrissey films (Flesh, Women in Revolt) and acted in a Tennessee Williams play. But before her unlikely career could take off, Candy died of leukemia in 1974 at the age of 29. Her life and insight into her brief career are revealed for a new generation in this loving tribute. Born James Lawrence Slattery, but rechristened into the platinum and very feminine blond, Candy, her lust for fame took her to Manhattan where Andy Warhol brought her into the Factory and brief stardom. The documentary is rich with archival footage as well as present-day interviews. These include friends and fellow Superstars Jackie Curtis and Holly Woodlawn, Fran Lebowitz, John Waters, Paul Morrissey, Warhol Factory regulars Gerard Malanga and Taylor Mead, and most poignant of all, her best friend and roommate Jeremiah Newton. Chloe Sevigny also recites passages from Candy's letter’s and diaries. For those too young to remember her, this lovely, tender and often funny film will reveal one of the ‘60s most memorable characters. -- Raymond Murray
