Jackie Curtis:

   Jackie Curtis (February 19, 1947 – May 15, 1985) was an American underground actor, singer, and playwright best known as a Warhol superstar. Primarily a stage actor in New York City, Curtis performed as both a man and in drag. 

   In 1968, Curtis was cast in the Warhol-produced film Flesh (1968), which was directed by Paul Morrissey. Curtis then starred alongside transgender Warhol superstars Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn in Women in Revolt (1971), which satirizes the Women's Liberation Movement and alludes to Valerie Solanas and her SCUM Manifesto. Warhol said of Curtis, "Jackie Curtis is not a drag queen. Jackie is an artist. A pioneer without a frontier."

   In 1974, Curtis and Holly Woodlawn performed together in "Cabaret in the Sky: An Evening with Holly Woodlawn and Jackie Curtis" at the New York Cultural Center.

   In 2004, a documentary Superstar in a Housedress exposed some little-known facts about Curtis to a wider public. Curtis's influence on a number of people, including friends and associates such as Holly Woodlawn, Joe Dallesandro, and Penny Arcade, and observers such as David Bowie, are noted in the film.
