Description
Candy Darling Dreamer, Icon, Superstar is a monumental biography that offers a thrilling and prismatic portrait of the queer icon and Warhol superstar. Growing up on Long Island, Candy Darling was enchanted by Hollywood starlets like Kim Novak, but she found her true place in New York's early Off-Off-Broadway theater scene. She inspired songs by Lou Reed and the Rolling Stones, became friends with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, and performed alongside Tennessee Williams in his own play. Despite her glamorous exterior, Candy Darling lived on the edge, relying on the kindness of strangers, friends, and her devoted mother. Her story is one of quiet desperation and a deep desire to be loved, as revealed in her poignant final diary entry.
