From the AD&A Collection: Andy Warhol, "Jackie Curtis, 1", 1974. Photograph. Gift of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Inc, the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program “I’m not a boy, not a girl... I’m just me, Jackie.” Switching between male and female roles throughout her career, Jackie Curtis was a nonbinary actress and writer who was regarded as a "pioneer without a frontier" by Warhol. She was well-known for her trashy-yet-glamorous fashion. After meeting Warhol in the 1960s, Curtis acted in a number of the artists's experimental films, such as FLESH (1968) and WOMEN IN REVOLT (1971). Curtis featured numerous trans actors in her own productions, most famously Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn.
