Joe Dallesandro, unquestionably artist Andy Warhol's biggest male film star
in the late 60s and early 70's (Flesh, Trash, Heat, Andy Warhol's
Frankenstein) told a news conference at the Berlin Film Festival today
(Thursday) that he was mystified by the notoriety those films initially
received -- and by their durability. "They're shown in museums to this day,"
he marveled. Appearing in Berlin to promote a documentary about him,
Little Joe, that premiered at the festival, Dallesandro ascribed his
early films' success on the art-theater circuit to the fact that "Andy was
the maestro of publicity." Warhol, he said, never said more than two words
to him during all the time he worked at his "factory." Asked how he thought
Warhol, who died in 1987, would have reacted to the documentary, he replied,
"He would have said, 'Good luck.'"
