00:13 Candy was a man who wanted to be a film and movie star,

00:17 and fell into the clutches of Andy, who told her she was.

00:22 I call myself Candy Wormhole now.

00:24 [LAUGHTER]

00:28 A 25-year-old man who becomes a 25-year-old woman

00:31 is not a woman at all, because a woman first

00:33 has to be a little girl.

00:35 OK, a man first has to be a boy.

00:37 Candy was never a girl.

00:40 Candy was a fantasy.

00:41 She created her star.

00:43 To those people that want to call Candy a he,

00:45 you are transphobe, and you shut your mouth.

00:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:58 And the thing about Candy was kind of curious in that here

01:01 she was in the middle of this very avant-garde scene

01:04 of Andy Wormhole's factory and underground filmmaking

01:08 and pop art.

01:09 And she really was a throwback.

01:11 She was someone who wished the studio system still existed

01:15 and sort of saw Andy as Louis B. Mayer,

01:18 except Andy in some ways was, but he didn't have

01:21 the resources of a Louis B. Mayer.

01:23 And she wanted to be Kim Novak.

01:25 She wanted to be the kind of queen of the studio.

01:29 Candy fit in perfectly, because she

01:31 was like a real movie star from MGM or something at the time,

01:35 only in a world that was filled with LSD and speed, really.

01:40 Speed.

01:41 Our tits are flying now.

01:43 Let's go.

01:44 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:47 It was Tennessee Williams who finally

01:49 decided to champion her.

01:51 Hi.

01:52 I'm Candy Dive.

01:54 She was with Tennessee Williams.

01:57 And Tennessee Williams didn't suffer fools.

02:00 I mean, maybe if there were a cute guy,

02:02 but they weren't sleeping together.

02:03 He liked her, plain and simple.

02:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:17 She was beautiful in a way that really put people off

02:21 and drew them to her at the same time, because it confused them.

02:25 She's a true star.

02:26 She's a real movie star.

02:27 I don't think there's anything that ironic about her.

02:31 Someday, I'll be a movie star.

02:35 That's it.

02:36 And I'll be rich and famous and have all the friends I want.
