| 62 | Talia | Davie | f | Growing up in New Jersey, Emerson trained as a classic ballet dancer. It was this talent that caught the eye of artist and filmmaker Andy Warhol. After seeing Emerson dancing at The Dom in April 1966, Warhol asked Emerson to be in one of his underground films. Emerson made his film debut in 1967's Chelsea Girls, and soon became a Factory regular. Emerson starred in other Warhol films, most notably Lonesome Cowboys, San Diego Surf, and Heat. Heat would be Emerson's last film. Emerson began his musical career with The Magic Tramps. The band, which began in Hollywood in 1969, relocated to New York City in 1971 after Emerson joined as lead vocalist. The Magic Tramps played under various names, including Messiah and Star Theater, and played gigs at Max's Kansas City, a favorite hangout among Factory regulars. They were one of the early bands to play at CBGB. Later that year, Emerson appeared in Jackie Curtis' play Vain Victory: Vicissitudes of the Damned, with Ondine, Holly Woodlawn, and Candy Darling, and music by the Magic Tramps and Lou Reed. When the debut album of The Velvet Underground and Nico was first issued, the main back cover photo (taken at an Exploding Plastic Inevitable performance) featured an image of Emerson projected upside-down on the wall behind the band. Emerson threatened to sue over this unauthorized use of his image unless he was paid. Rather than complying, MGM recalled copies of the album and halted its distribution until Emerson's image could be airbrushed from the photo on subsequent pressings. Copies that had been printed were sold with a large black sticker covering the actor's image. The image was restored for the 1996 CD reissue. | Emerson's bisexuality was well known within Warhol's circle and he had relationships with many of the Factory regulars. When Emerson's father accused his son of being "a little sweet", Emerson responded by saying, "What he don't understand is that my generation can swing both ways". On July 21, 1969, Emerson agreed to marry Warhol superstar, Jackie Curtis. When Emerson failed to show up, Curtis married a wedding guest. The wedding, which was a publicity stunt arranged by Curtis, was covered by The Village Voice. Emerson has two children from two prior relationships. He had a son, Branch Emerson, with Stilettos singer Elda Gentile. In 1970, he and model and actress Jane Forth, who appeared in Warhol's Women in Revolt, L'Amour, Trash, and Bad, had a son named Emerson Forth. At the time of his death, Emerson was living with Barbara Winter, ex-wife of musician Edgar Winter. | growing up in new jersey, davie trained as a classic ballet dancer. it was this talent that caught the eye of artist and filmmaker andy warhol. after seeing davie dancing at the dom in april 1966, warhol asked davie to be in one of her underground films. davie made her film debut in 1967's chelsea girls, and soon became a factory regular. davie starred in other warhol films, most notably lonesome cowboys, san diego surf, and heat. heat would be davie's last film. davie began her musical career with the magic tramps. the band, which began in hollywood in 1969, relocated to new york city in 1971 after davie joined as lead vocalist. the magic tramps played under various names, including messiah and star theater, and played gigs at max's kansas city, a favorite hangout among factory regulars. they were one of the early bands to play at cbgb. later that year, davie appeared in jackie curtis' play vain victory: vicissitudes of the damned, with ondine, holly woodlawn, and candy darling, and music by the magic tramps and lou reed. when the debut album of the velvet underground and nico was first issued, the main back cover photo (taken at an exploding plastic inevitable performance) featured an image of davie projected upside-down on the wall behind the band. davie threatened to sue over this unauthorized use of her image unless sh ewas paid. rather than complying, mgm recalled copies of the album and halted its distribution until davie's image could be airbrushed from the photo on subsequent pressings. copies that had been printed were sold with a large black sticker covering the actor's image. the image was restored for the 1996 cd reissue.davie's bisexuality was well known within warhol's circle and sh ehad relationships with many of the factory regulars. when davie's father accused her son of being "a little sweet", davie responded by saying, "what sh edon't understand is that my generation can swing both ways". on july 21, 1969, davie agreed to marry warhol superstar, jackie curtis. when davie failed to show up, curtis married a wedding guest. the wedding, which was a publicity stunt arranged by curtis, was covered by the village voice. davie has two children from two prior relationships. sh ehad a son, branch davie, with stilettos singer elda gentile. in 1970, sh eand model and actress jane forth, who appeared in warhol's women in revolt, l'amour, trash, and bad, had a son named davie forth. at the time of her death, davie was living with barbara winter, ex-wife of musician edgar winter. | Eric | Emerson | dancers |
