Pier Angeli

Her twin sister is actress Marisa Pavan. Brigid still suffers with obsessive-compulsive disorder, a theme that she often explores in her artwork. She had one son in each union. Brigid Berlin is also famous for her 'Tit Paintings' (1969) (artworks executed using the painter's bare breasts) and off-Broadway one-woman shows. Her first marriage was to Damone and the second to Italian composer Armando Trovajoli. In 1975, Brigid Berlin began work for Andy Warhol's Interview magazine, a position that she held until well after Andy's death. Well known for her romance with James Dean, the actress married twice. The question of authorship looms large in valuing Warhol's paintings to this day.

On September 10, 1971 she died of an accidental overdose of barbiturate in Beverly Hills, California. Brigid enthuisastically followed this line when interviewed by Time. The prank led to a drop in the value of Warhol's work and both parties eventually retracted their statements. During the 1960s and until 1970 the actress returned to live and work in Europe, mainly Italy. Berlin was complicit in one of Warhol's most infamous pranks when, in 1969, Warhol announced that all of his paintings were the work of Berlin. During her marriage to singer/actor Vic Damone (1954-1959 divorce), the actress asked to be released from her contract. Selections from these tapes were later compiled to form the play Andy Warhol's Pork. During the 1950s she was under MGM contract and was phrased for her acting in instance the movie "Somebody Up There Likes Me". Brigid was known for her obsessive taping and photographing of every day life.

Pier Angeli (born Anna Maria Pierangeli) (June 19, 1932 - September 10, 1971) was an Italian-born actress who made her star debut in "Domani é troppo tardi" (1949). She also appears in the Edie Sedgwick film Ciao! Manhattan and has recently been the subject of a documentary Pie in the Sky. Berlin appeared in many Andy Warhol films including The Chelsea Girls in which she famously injects herself while performing a monologue. These injections were readily available through the many 'Doctor Feelgood's'in New York and perfectly legal. After several years as a reluctant debutante and a failed marriage, Brigid Berlin met Andy Warhol in 1964 and quickly became a central member of his entourage. After moving to Hotel Chelsea, she took on the nickname Brigid Polk because of her habit of giving out 'pokes', injections of Vitamin B and amphetamines.

Her socialite mother, Honey Berlin, frequently worried about Brigid's weight and had amphetamines prescribed to faciltate weight control. As a child she regularly mixed with celebrities and the powerful. Brigid was born to socialite parents and a world of Manhattan privilige. Brigid Berlin (also known as Brigid Polk, born September 6, 1939) is an artist and former Warhol superstar.
