Candy Darling on her deathbed (1974) photog: Peter Hujar
Darling died of lymphoma on March 21, 1974, aged 29, at the Columbus Hospital division of the Cabrini Health Care Center. In a letter written on her deathbed and intended for Warhol and his followers, Darling wrote, "Unfortunately before my death I had no desire left for life ... I am just so bored by everything. You might say bored to death. Did you know I couldn't last. I always knew it. I wish I could meet you all again." Her funeral, held at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel, was attended by huge crowds. Julie Newmar read the eulogy. Darling's birth name was never spoken by the minister or any of the eulogizers. Faith Dane played a piano piece, and Gloria Swanson saluted Darling's coffin.

you ever had a brother? don't!
this was referenced (clumsily) from that awesome photograph (below the cut) of Ivy Austin in the niche-lost-media stage musical of raggedy ann/rag-dolly.
there's a small committee here on tumblr (R.A.R.E) that has been crazily successful in recovering bits and pieces from it, including literally the entire show archived on youtube. i've been so obsessed with the animated movie (also on youtube, fully restored. omfg) and trying to find all the animation development & production bits that i can, and i just love seeing people's devotion to restoring/archiving old media like this!!
commission me here !
