Catalogue Note
“Like I always wanted Tab Hunter to play me in a story of my life - people would be much happier imagining that I was as handsome as Allen [Midgette] and Tab were. I mean, the real Bonnie and Clyde sure didn’t look like Faye [Dunaway] and Warren [Beatty]. Who wants the truth? That’s what show business is for - to prove that it’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are.” - Andy Warhol
