What do we know about this Andy Warhol star? She jumped to her death from her Manhattan penthouse a few months before the premiere of her film "Heat". Apparently called all her ex-lovers to come over that day so they could see her die. Is this true? Anyone here know her?
Mental illness porn?

Andrea was of Jewish descent, born into a well-off Jewish family, her grandparents were wealthy. She has a half sister who Andrea shares a father with. Her sister has good memories of her but they are few as she was about 11 when Andrea died. The family did not discuss it.
It was said she left a very nasty goodbye letter to Andy Warhol, whose surname she had one point adopted before she died.
According to an ex boyfriend, Andrea "loved adrenaline", she was addicted to amphetamines as most in her crowd were. Her parents arranged for her many stays at Bellevue. She liked drinking sangria, and taking long train rides.

Oh wow, I didn’t know about her.
There’s a great documentary about Brigid Berlin called “Pie In the Sky”; it’s just fascinating stuff.
Andy really surrounded himself with very broken people.

She had the strangest voice -- this deadened, toneless drone. The first time I heard it I wondered if she was partially deaf, but maybe it was a result of the drugs. She ran with Patti D'Arbanville and Geraldine Smith, and the three became juvenile stars in Warhol's Factory. Many were surprised when Valerie Solanas nearly killed Warhol because they frankly expected that Feldman would be the one to do it.

R6 did you meet her personally? I always thought her accent was a put on for the camera.

No, I didn't meet her. It just struck me the first time I saw her in "Trash."
