Holly Woodlawn

Holly Woodlawn (October 26, 1946 – December 6, 2015) was a transgender American actress and Warhol superstar.

Woodlawn, born Haroldo Santiago Franceschi Rodriguez Danhakl in Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico, came out at a young age in Miami Beach. She adopted the name Holly from Breakfast at Tiffany's and added the surname Woodlawn after seeing it on an episode of I Love Lucy. Woodlawn falsely claimed to be the heiress to Woodlawn Cemetery. She ran away from home at fifteen and eventually made her way to New York City, where she became a part of Andy Warhol's entourage and starred in his films.More
