Beautiful Darling is a new documentary about the late James Lawrence Slattery, better known to the world as the Andy Warhol superstar Candy Darling.
The most interesting aspect of Beautiful Darling is the life story of Jeremiah Newton. As a young gay man, Newton was in awe of Candy and was alternately her disciple, savior, best friend, and roommate. A much older man in the film, as well as one of its producers, Newton is still living in Candy's shadow. We spoke to him on the phone last week about Candy and mortality.
