I remember my friend Mike A. telling me that he fucked her one time and he was all impressed because she put her legs up over his shoulders while they were doing it which he had never done before... you've got to remember, we were all just teenage virgins back then.
I also vaguely remember spending an afternoon in a room in the Albert Hotel with her one time (no, we did not have sex, I was just hangin' out) and she spent the whole time on the phone trying to call London through the hotel switchboard to talk to Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, but it's not like she knew him or knew his phone number or anything, she just thought she could call London and say "I'd like to talk to Brian Jones, please" and they'd put her right through to him. Like I said... "Crazy Andy."
And then there was the time that a gang of really hard-core speed freaks muscled their way into an apartment I was staying in and they gave Crazy Andy a "cotton shot" (which is, like, literally NOTHING at all) of speed and she did this whole spectacular fake "Oh, my, god, I'm having an overdose" scene, pretending to faint and flopping around, and since they didn't know who she was and how she really just wanted to be the center of attention no matter what, they took her seriously and started running a cold shower and filling the bathtub with ice to put her in it which I thought was hysterically funny because I knew she was just faking so that everyone would pay attention to her. Sheesh.
Here she is in the Warhol movie Heat...

And here she is dancing around on the sidewalk in front of Max's at the beginning of some dumb-ass silent "art" film about Max's Kansas City...

Anyway, I'm really sorry but she was really just an asshole. I read that she offed herself because Warhol and that whole crowd stopped talking to her, but, of course, they only did that because she was an asshole... a self-fulfilling prophesy, really.
It's interesting to note that Andrea Feldman, a woman, was rejected by Warhol and his crowd and responded to that rejection by killing herself, while Valerie Solanis, who was gay and therefore more masculine, responded to that rejection by killing Warhol. Sort of a living example of that whole "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" thing, when you think about it.
And that's the story of Andrea Feldman.
