Love You Madly, Holly Woodlawn

A young, aspiring writer desperate for a break…and the legendaryAndy Warhol superstar who gave him the story of a lifetime.

By the mid-1980s, Holly Woodlawn, once laudedby George Cukor for her performance in the 1970 Warhol production and PaulMorrissey directed Trash, was washed up. Over. Kaput. She was living ina squalid Hollywood apartment with her dog and bottles of Chardonnay. A chance meeting with starry-eyed corn-fed Missouri-born Jeff Copeland, who moved to Hollywood with dreams of ‘making it’ as a television writer, changed the course of BOTH of their lives forever.

Love You Madly, Holly Woodlawn is a story of how an unlikelyfriendship with a young gay writer and an, ahem, mature trans actress and performercreated the bestselling autobiography of 1991, A Low Life in High Heels. Thisbook about writing a book is a celebration of chutzpa and love as Holly, the embodiment of Auntie Mame, introduces Jeff to the glamorous (and sometimeslarcenous) world of a Warhol Superstar. In turn, Jeff uses his writing (and typing) talent to giveHolly the second chance at fame she craved.

In turns hilarious and heartwarming, Love You Madly, HollyWoodlawn is a portrait of the real Holly who loved deeply, laughed loudly,and left mayhem in her wake.
