Cherry Valley, Part 3
Candy Darling
Candy Darling was one of Andy Warhol’s Superstars appearing in his movies. A tragic figure that died before she was 30, Candy was the feature of the documentary Beautiful Darling by James Resin, a Cherry Valley resident. We interview James and then take a side trip to New York City to interview Candy’s best friend Jeremiah Newton who buried her in Cherry Valley. In this episode we learn about her tragic life wanting to be a movie star and why she is buried so far from New York City where she lived and enjoyed a glamorous lifestyle.
Bless Jeremiah Newton. He has done so much to keep her legend alive. A true friend. Thank you for posting this!
Yes I've spoken with him too and he's such a sweet funny warm beguiling guy.
Jeremiah is such a sweet guy and so generous with his time to talk about Candy to this day. I watched the doc like so many others and it really spoke to a young gay guy and i wrote him and we started talking and we spoke on and off for a long time. I need to look him up again. Hes a treasure from a time that was so influential in Pop culture. His brain is like big guilded treasure chest. We need to honor people like Jeremiah theres not many people from his era still left around. Hes a gay treasure.
Er lebt noch?

again . . . wow!
This documentary meant so much to a generation on gay people
I’m thinking Edie Sedgwick was the biggest star of the factory. With Candy the close runner up. Both of which Warhol showcased yet used.
& didn’t turn up @ their funerals perhaps? 🤔 Too guilty of detached blame upon himself probably.
Furthermore, why is Holly Woodlawn’s image imposed upon the flyer of this intro clip?
I have no control over what UA-cam does.
