April fools is the worst for beautiful girls who take everything at face value (me)

Candy Darling, November 24, 1944 – March 21, 1974.

“Candy was very pretty. There was something very poignant about Candy as she embraced the imagined life of an actress. She had Kim Novak’s looks and was ahead of her time. Tragically she didn’t live long enough to see the time she was ahead of. A pioneer without a frontier as Andy (Warhol) would have said.”

/ Patti Smith on Candy Darling in her book Just Kids (2010) /

To commemorate Trans Visibility Day (31 March 2025), a portrait of haunting transgender Warhol Superstar (and the world's biggest Kim Novak fan) Candy Darling (24 November 1944 - 21 March 1974) by James Hamilton. For anyone interested in Darling’s story, Cynthia Carr’s 2024 biograph Candy Darling: Dreamer, Icon, Superstar is required reading.

I know that I was always more interested in the characters in Disney that were the bad characters, the evil characters. Because they were more fun, but also because they seemed more multidimensional. Like, why is Ursula [in The Little Mermaid] trying to capture the voices of young girls? That’s wild. But she’s got the best songs! Who is she?
