Andrea Feldman (April 1, 1948 – August 8, 1972) was an American actress and Warhol Superstar. She committed suicide in 1972. ==Career== Andrea Feldman was a native New Yorker. She attended Quintano's School for Young Professionals, a high school for the performing arts. She starred in three Warhol films; ''Imitation of Christ'', ''Trash'' and ''Heat''. 〔(Andrea Feldman )〕 A regular in the back room of Max's Kansas City, she pioneered a performance which she called "Showtime", in which she performed a strip tease on the round table, at the center of the room. She became known for her dependence on drugs, particularly amphetamines. Feldman was featured in a 1970 documentary called ''Groupies'', where she referred to herself by a nickname given to her by the Warhol crowd; Andrea "Whips" Feldman. She also often referred to herself as "Andrea Warhol". She was known by her friends as "Crazy Andy". "A lot of people in the Warhol scene pretended to be crazy, but Andrea really was. She had endless money for everything but mental health. When she had nervous breakdowns, her parents would send her to state hospitals. Just before Heat came out and she knew—she was about to be a star, she had a nervous breakdown, and her physician told her parents that what she needed was a job. I remember her saying “What am I supposed to do? Be a waitress?!” 〔Frame, Allen. () "Penny Arcade."
