Baby Jane Holzer - Andy Warhol's screen test http://www.walkerart.org/press/browse/press-releases/2009/walker-art-center-presents-dean-wareham, 06.07.06
Both of the women above have sat for Andy Warhol's screen tests, both lasted for bout 4 minutes and to me were the most interesting. Ingrid was funny in her test, she didn't keep still, she was looking around and had her hand on her face and mouth for most of the shots, looking as though she is trying to swear at Andy himself. Whist Baby Jane was looking intently at the camera for most of the time and was brushing her teeth. Her makeup and hair is from the 60's era and her eyes are very big and round made bigger with the help of thick eye liner and eye shadow.
Background research - Ingrid
Very little is known about Ingrid Superstar. She starred in a few of Warhol’s films, and became one of his 'superstars,' which offered the celebrities fame and attention. Her real name is a mystery, as part of her mythology. She was known as Ingrid Superstar but she was born Ingrid von Steven, others recall her name to be Ingrid von Schefflin or, as noted in Ultra Violet’s memoir, Irma. She became one of Andy Warhol's superstars to offend Edie Sedgwick and Andy's relationship at the time; In Fashionmagazine.com Rene Ricard says that Ingrid, a New Jersey native, was found in a bar and called "the ugly Edie" and given the name Ingrid Superstar to cause upset.She disappeared on Dec. 7, 1986 in New York, and she was said to have gone out for cigarettes and never returned. She is presumed dead but her body has never been found. Not long after her disappearance, her mother heartbreakingly took out an ad in the paper asking Ingrid to come home “so they could play ‘Morning Dew’ without feeling sad.”
