There was a little more to Andrea Feldman's story of suicide by jumping out the window. According to Bob Colacello, "Andrea Feldman was carrying a can of coke in one hand and a rosary in the other when she jumped from 51 Fifth Avenue. Many factory employees thought August 6th was Warhol's birth date at the time - Andrea may have chosen this date because she assumed it washis birthday. It was also the tenth anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death with whom Andrea identified herself.

Andrea had apparently made dates for that afternoon with half a dozen guys she had gone out with, including the poet and diarist Jim Carroll, so that they would all be down on the sidewalk when she flew out the window.

Andrea Feldman's best friend and Warhol superstar Geraldine Smith mentioned a note that Feldman had left telling everyone she loved them & the she was "going for the big time, I hit the jackpot!"

But according to Bob Colacello, "in the back room of Max's the old Superstars were saying that "...the note wasn't to everyone and it wasn't about love; it was to Andy and it was very, very nasty."

"They just throw you in front of a camera - they don't care what you look like. And they just use you, and abuse you, and step on you, and they don't pay you anything. I am very depressed about the whole thing, because I know I'm a damn good actress and I've been brought down by Warhol and I've been mistreated by them. Paul Morrissey told me I was the best actress he ever had."andera feldman draft_lens2258631module12323358photo_1225140531andrea squidoo com.gif

So far my favorite book on this subject is Popism: The Warhol Sixties by Andy Warhol and Pat Hackett.
