BERLIN (Hollywood Reporter) - Several of Andy Warhol's stable of performers achieved the 15 minutes of fame promised by their guru, but one of Warhol's pets, the ->-bleeped-<- performer known as Candy Darling, probably achieved a few more than her allotted minutes before fading into obscurity.

Those who are not well versed in Warhol movies of the 1960s and '70s may not remember Darling, but James Rasin's incisive documentary, "Beautiful Darling," which received its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, not only tells Darling's intriguing story but also makes a larger comment on the lust for celebrity that is one of the enduring, unhappy legacies of the Warhol era.
