Movies with Holly Woodlawn

Holly Woodlawn was a true trailblazer - a transgender actress who carved out a remarkable career during an era when LGBTQ+ representation was sorely lacking in Hollywood. Though born Haroldo Santiago Franceschi Rodriguez Danhakl, Woodlawn would become known by the name that embodied her bold, unapologetic spirit: Holly. As a Warhol superstar in the 1960s and 70s, Woodlawn's unique look and magnetic screen presence made her an icon of New York's underground art scene. She delivered standout performances in Warhol films like Trash and Women in Revolt, playing gender-nonconforming characters with a natural charisma. But Woodlawn's talents extended far beyond the avant-garde - she demonstrated remarkable range, appearing in a diverse array of projects over the course of her four-decade career, from the poignant transgender drama Beautiful Darling to the campy, high-camp romp She Gone Rogue. What truly defined Woodlawn, however, was her indomitable spirit and refusal to be constrained by societal norms. Whether commanding the screen or chronicling her life in the tell-all memoir A Low Life in High Heels, she lived unapologetically on her own terms, blazing a trail for LGBTQ+ actors to follow. Holly Woodlawn's legacy as a trailblazing performer and singular personality continues to inspire filmmakers and audiences alike.
