Biography

Candy Darling (November 24, 1944 – March 21, 1974) was an American actress. Best known as a Warhol superstar, she was a pioneer for transgender visibility. Darling rose to fame in New York City's underground film scene for her performances in the Andy Warhol-produced films Flesh (1968) and Women in Revolt (1971). She was photographed by Cecil Beaton and Richard Avedon, and starred in Tennessee Williams' play, Small Craft Warnings (1972). Darling was celebrated for her glamorous, Old Hollywood-inspired persona and candid wit, and became a muse to rock and roll musicians of the era, including the Rolling Stones and Lou Reed, who referenced her in his songs. She died from lymphoma at the age of 29 in 1974.
