A young, aspiring writer desperate for a break…and the legendary
Andy Warhol superstar who gave him the story of a lifetime.
“Jeff’s affection for Holly, even as she drunkenly claims, ‘You
ruined my life!’ makes this romp worth the journey.”
—Michael Musto
By the mid-1980s, Holly Woodlawn, once lauded by George Cukor for her
performance in the 1970 Warhol production and Paul Morrissey directed Trash,
was washed up. Over. Kaput. She was living in a 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 unlikely friendship
with a young gay writer and an, ahem, mature trans actress and performer
created the bestselling autobiography of 1991, A Low Life in High Heels.
This book about writing a book is a celebration of chutzpa and love as
Holly, the embodiment of Auntie Mame, introduces Jeff to the glamorous (and
sometimes larcenous) world of a Warhol Superstar. In turn, Jeff uses his
writing (and typing) talent to give Holly the second chance at fame she
craved.
In turns hilarious and heartwarming, Love You Madly, Holly Woodlawn is a
portrait of the real Holly who loved deeply, laughed loudly, and left mayhem
in her wake.
