Born 90 years ago today: pioneering drag superstar of underground queer cinema Mario Montez (20 July 1935 – 26 Sept 2013). His appearances in Jack Smith’s Flaming Creatures (1963) and Warhol’s Chelsea Girls (1966) ensure Montez immortality. Pic by Peter Hujar, 1974. #mariomontez #warholsuperstar

Born on this day 82 years ago: doomed, impossibly magnetic Warhol Superstar, underground cinema actress and socialite #EdieSedgwick (Edith Minturn Sedgwick Post, 20 April 1943 – 16 November 1971). Pictured: Sedgwick photographed by Bob Adelman at Warhol’s Factory in New York, 1965. #warholsuperstar

BOTD (4 March 1953): stylish, startling and wildly original Warhol Superstar and fashion model #JaneForth. She personifies the great John Waters quote "To me, beauty is looks you can never forget. A face should jolt, not soothe.” Portrait by Jack Mitchell, 1970. #warholsuperstar #lobotomyroom #model
