That’s one of the reasons I got work in Hollywood: They weren’t supposed to have a lesbian in the script, but if they hired me, they would get one. I’m not sure why, but it’s my most-watched clip online. You were in a Charlie’s Angels episode playing a butch cop who drags the Angels off to women’s prison. You comment on, like a drag queen whose actions comment on women, how they’re too fey or too predatory. With camp, you have no interest in trying to trick the audience. With Method, you become the person you’re acting, even if it could be a wet piece of spinach or a chair. In the film’s production notes, you say you’re not a Method actress, you’re a camp actress. The writer, painter, and actress spoke to Vulture about her wild days at the Factory and how much she enjoys “homosexuals.” And she’s just popped up again as a creepy lady of the manor in Ti West’s House of the Devil. She went on to star in such low-budget pleasures as Death Race 2000, Rock ’n’ Roll High School and the 1982 black-comedy classic Eating Raoul. Mary Woronov may not have been up there with Edie Sedgwick, Viva, and Jane Holzer as one of Andy Warhol’s “superstars,” but she got a lot of mileage out of terrorizing International Velvet in his 1966 Chelsea Girls.
