Joe is the hunky yet passive center around whom proud Holly orbits; while Morrissey intended to show that there's no difference between a person using drugs and a piece of refuse, Woodlawn's incredible turn reverses his logic: she makes trash as precious as human beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines the film in the context of Morrissey and Warhol's legendary partnership, with a special focus on Woodlawn's acclaimed performance: a glorious embodiment of trash and glamour that was so stunning, director George Cukor led a campaign (albeit unsuccessful) to win her an Oscar nomination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJon Davies\u003c\/b\u003e is a curator and critic based in Toronto.
