Warhol Superstar – Holly Woodlawn, plays Eve Harrington, a small-town girl from Kansas who tries to make it big — or at least find a room mate — in New York in this long-lost madcap movie musical extravaganza. Along the way she’ll get tangled up with everyone from wrestlers to crunchy granola lesbians on her way-too relevant quest to find secure housing. One of the very first films to be built around a trans actor, Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers is a comedic tour-de-force with a memorable supporting performance from fellow Warhol Superstar Tally Brown as Mary Poppins and voice cameos from the likes of Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin, Scarecrow should’ve become a huge midnight movie sensation, but instead faded into obscurity and has sat unseen for the past 50 years.
