Send us Fan Mail We trace Holly Woodlawn’s rise through Paul Morrissey’s lens, the buzz from Trash, and the spiral that followed as headlines collided with addiction and a brazen UN scam. It’s fame at full voltage and a human wrecking ball underneath, ending with a jaw-dropping 1971 interview and a tease of what comes next. This is old, old Hollywood news, but it's so much better than the stupid current news, so hop in and go back in time with us:) Unhinged Interview: https://youtu.be/U5wuwng...
