ANDY WARHOL'S FIFTEEN MINUTES {SHOW #3} {SUZANNE
LANZA} {#WA.00.0455} (TV)
Summary
One in this series of programs, hosted by Andy Warhol,
featuring interviews and vignettes with well-known and
obscure celebrities, musicians, fashion designers, and
artists. Violinist Regina Beukes opens the program by
performing "Thais for Meditation" by Jules Massenet and
talking about romance in music. Fashion designer Miriam
Bendahan discusses her evening wear and the fact that
she wears clothes very different from the fashionable
dresses she designs. Following a rendition of "Leather
Kings" by the rock group "The Fleshtones," Michael
Schmidt and Anita Martire present Moto-Fashion biker
fashions at the Tunnel club, and the club's director
Rudolf, co-owner Thomas Leeser, and bartender Carla
Stiemer comment on the history of the bar. Alan Jones
poses as an "art cop" and discusses with Brook Larsen
the fate of art since the Mudd Club closed and its
site was taken over by B. Larsen Frames, Inc. After
Robert Longo talks about the importance of music to his
creative process, Heather Watts and Jock Soto, dancers
with the New York City Ballet, discuss Michael Torke's
"Ecstatic Orange" with the composer. Victor Love reads
from Richard Wright's "Native Son," and the group Wall
to Wall performs "Tuff Luck." Host Suzanne Lanza
introduces the story of Mozart's "The Magic Flute,"
portions of which are performed by The Opera at the
Academy, with comments by performers Jeffrey W.
Reynolds and Suzan Hanson, director Eric Fraad, and
music director Christopher O'Reily. The rock group
Saqqara Dogs performs a howling number, and members
Ruby Ray, Bond Bergland, Sync 66, and Hearn Gadbois
discuss working and traveling together. The program
ends as Bobbi Humphrey plays "No Way" on the flute,
and The Fleshtones return to accompany Ian McKellen as
he recites poetry.
Cataloging of this program was made possible by the
Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, 1999.
