Andy Warhol would have been 81 today. His unfortunate death was blamed by many on a nurse reading a Bible while he lay dying on a hospital bed with a split spleen. She didn't notice he was dying. The estate got paid $3 million for the mistake. Once in awhile, Andy would show up at a joint, and for me it was like being in the presence of a pharaoh . I stood next to him at a fashion show I co-produced with future Flaunt magazine co-founder Long Nguyen. It was for designer and mutual friend Kohshin Satoh at the Palladium on August 20, 1986. Andy was interviewed by Mary Hughes for Maury Povitch and A Current Affair; the conversation, although brief, impressed me so much that I ordered a copy of the clip and transcript. I still have the transcript, and I hope my mom has the clip.
