Andrea Feldman (also known as Andrea ‘Whips’
Feldman)  (April 1, 1948 – 8 August 1972)
was an actor and Warhol superstar. A native New
Yorker, she starred in several of Warhol’s
underground movies, such as Trash before
committing suicide in 1972.  Andrea was a regular
in the backroom of Max's Kansas City where she was
noted for her exhibitionist nature, pioneering a
performance she called "Showtime", and heavy
dependence on drugs, particularly
anfetamine|amphetamines. 

In August of 1972, Andrea summoned several
ex-boyfriends, including poet Jim Carroll, to the
New York City apartment of her parents so that
they would be witness to her "final starring
role," her suicide. Feldman was holding a can of
Coca-Cola|Coke in one hand and a rosary in the
other when she jumped from the fourteenth floor of
 51 Fifth Avenue and 12th Street.

Feldman’s suicide preceded the release of Heat,
in which she had a significant role, by only three
weeks.

==Reviews==
"The most striking performance - in large part
non-performance - comes from the late Andrea
Feldman as the flat-voiced, freaked-out daughter,
a mass of psychotic confusion, infantile and
heart-breaking."
