	Brigid Berlin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brigid Berlin (also known as Brigid Polk, born September 6, 1939) is an artist and former Warhol superstar.
		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.
		Brigid Berlin is also famous for her 'Tit Paintings' (1969) (artworks executed using the painter's bare breasts) and off-Broadway one-woman shows.

		Brigid was sent to the family doctor at the age of eleven to get amphetamines and dexedrine (little orange hearts), while her mother took Preludin.
		Although Brigid had to take a daily urine test to make sure she wasn't eating, she cheated by putting nail polish in her urine, thinking that one of the drugs in the nail polish was the same one produced by the body to indicate fasting.
		The conversations that Brigid Berlin taped between herself and her mother were the basis for Andy Warhol's play in the early seventies, Pork.

	BIFF - Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Brigid Berlin was the daughter of the head of the Hearst empire who rebelled against the constraints of the WASP lifestyle of the 1960s by joining the Warhol Factory and becoming one of Andy Warhol's closest confidants and star of a number of his films.
		Berlin is now in her sixties, and this documentary follows a personal recount of her life and art as she continues her battle with obesity.
		At times very funny as Berlin tells of her determination to reject the trappings of the society life of her mother, the film also paints a sometimes sad story of a lonely person whose life is based mainly on memories of past rebellion, ugly dogs and obsessive behaviour.

	dOc DVD Review: Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story (2000) - Printable
		Brigid Berlin was born to privilege as the daughter of Richard Berlin, chief executive of the Hearst Publishing Empire.
		Brigid Berlin today is a dignified (and occasionally indignant) individualist, slightly addled by age and/or residual effects of her youthful excesses, but still feisty, intelligent and loquacious.
		Berlin's audio recordings of conversations with her mother (as well as her ability to reconstruct Honey Berlin's vitriolic tirades) give us a clear and disturbing picture of the stress Brigid must have endured as an unhappy, overweight child.

	INTERVIEW: Public Consumption; Fremonts Cook Up "Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story"
		With an unprecedented access to archival footage, audio taped recordings and the still spirited sexagenarian recounting her past relationship with Warhol and her own art; and her current disturbing obsessions with food, ceramic pugs, and lung x-rays, the Fremonts' documentary is a vivid glimpse into her own gluttonous life and the Warhol world.
		Fremont: When Brigid said she wanted her life story on film, I knew there was a lot of material in existence and though I had produced TV, I was rusty.
		Brigid was one of the true "Superstars," and she was closest to Andy for the longest period of time.

	Movie Review - Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story - eFilmCritic
		Brigid was born to Richard and Honey Berlin in 1939.
		Brigid has two sisters and a brother, and is not on speaking terms with any of them.
		Brigid Berlin is a flourish on to herself, with fire in her eyes, a compulsion to clean and organize, and not a care in the world as to what people think of her, then and now.

	Brigid Berlin
		Brigid Berlin did--in part because of her size (250 pounds-plus), in part because of her family connections (her father, Richard, ran the Hearst Corp.) but mostly because of the sheer force of her slashing wit and obsessive/compulsive personality.
		Berlin, an obese child, was constantly berated by her socialite mother, Honey, who sent her away to crackpot fat farms for regimens of fasting and diet pill-popping.
		Because Berlin is a fascinating character who commands attention, the flaws in "Pie in the Sky" become apparent only after the film is over and the viewer is left wrestling with countless nagging questions.

	What other people say about Pie in the Sky - The Brigid Berlin Story
		From the early circa 1940 Berlin home movies, where the rebellion of the then very young Brigid was very evident....to her later taped conversations with her extremely irritated and increasingly embarressed mother, the viewer feels like a voyeur, only with Miss Berlins approval.
		Brigid was herself very creative, and, though not exactly an artist technically, conjured up art through her writings, recordings, photos, and her trademark scrapbooks.
		Brigid Berlin, a close confident of Andy Warhol, and the brilliant telling of her life story, provides a perspective that until now anyone with an interest in art could only have hoped for.

		Berlin was complicit in one of Warhol's most infamous pranks when, in 1969, Warhol announced that all of his paintings werethe work of Berlin.
		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.

		Berlin showed "great confidence for a fat girl," her devotee John Waters puts it in the documentary by Shelly Dunn Fremont and Vincent Fremont (himself a former Warhol associate).
		For Berlin, the Factory scene was the Bizarro World version of the New York society life for which she was groomed.
		Berlin's current preoccupation with key lime pie may be less interesting than the scurvy gossip she retailed in her Factory days, but the movie manages to have its cake and eat it too—debunking the Berlin image even while reveling in it.

		This sleek and cleverly assembled film is a brutally honest portrait of an obsessive personality, a woman whose mania for control over her weight and the world around her fed her demons and fueled her art.
		Berlin — the daughter of powerful, ultra-conservative Hearst Corporation chairman Richard Berlin and his socialite wife, Honey — was born into the upper echelon of New York City society where, from a very young age, she ate with abandon.
		Renamed Brigid Polk (a sly reference to her affection for the syringe), she quickly became Warhol's confidant and, in a world of rail-thin fashion plates, an unlikely superstar who further tortured her conservative parents by appearing in such films as BIKE BOY and the infamous CHELSEA GIRLS.

	Baltimore City Paper: FILM Pie In the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Overweight, hyperverbal heiress Brigid Berlin always loomed large in Andy Warhol's films, and her legend loomed even larger in Factory lore.
		The camera first introduces her as a skinny, polo-shirted sexagenarian matron living in a posh apartment in which every upholstered surface seems decorated with embroidered pugs; the obsessive ritual with which she measures everything she eats is the only outward sign of her turbulent psyche.
		The film makes a convincing case for Berlin as one of Warhol's major influences and muses, and as fascinating artist in her own right; the Fremonts' cameras also unexpectedly catch their subject in a panicked breakdown that sends her compulsively shoveling key lime pies into her mouth.

		A few months later I learned that this mysterious woman was Brigid Berlin, the star of classic Andy Warhol movies including Chelsea Girls (1967), and an accomplished artist in her own right.
		In addition to having been one of Warhol's closest confidants, Berlin became friends with Patricia Hearst, with whom she shared a childhood of privilege (her father, Richard Emmett Berlin, was president of the Hearst Corporation) and early adulthood on the edge.
		Here, the two look back on Berlin's years in the Factory, a scene that's also the subject of a documentary, Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story, directed by fellow Factory member Vincent Fremont and his wife Shelly Dunn Fremont, to screen this month on the Sundance Channel.

		Nico's fellow Chelsea girl Brigid Berlin could be a Tenenbaum; in fact, the documentary Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story (just released on video) presents a portrait of Berlin as a compulsive collector who would misfit in fine with them – then reject them.
		Berlin's parents filmed her with a Peeping Tom-like obsessiveness as a child; directors Vincent and Shelly Dunn Fremont condense the footage, and after dozens of beach, pool, and birthday parties, one can see the exact moment when Berlin's eyes harden to stare down the camera.
		She certainly got her revenge; one of her most notorious performances was a live stage show in which she called her parents' wealthy friends to beg for abortion money, left the theater in a cab to collect it, then returned for the final act, a typically combative phone conversation with mother, broadcast over the monitors.

		For Brigid Berlin, the crown of "the fat one" may as well mark her epitaph.

		The film directs the still insufferably bratty Berlin, now in her 60s, in an ultimately empty stroll down memory lane to her present day as an obsessive-compulsive spinster.

		We're in the midst of packing for the move here, so we went out for an early dinner and came home and happened upon a wonderful documentary on TV: Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story.
		Brigid Berlin was a key member of Andy Warhol's entourage for many years, and it would be tempting, and easy, to just look at her like any of the other tragic cases that surrounded Warhol - as in fact the "user reviewer" on the IMDB listing for the film did.
		Unlike most of the others that we've seen in film after film over the years, Berlin, although clearly suffering from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, was also a legitimate artist, as avant-garde or more than anyone else around Warhol and arguably pushing Warhol himself, not following in the wake of the mad environment he nurtured.

		One of the best things about this film is that, unlike many of the Warhol-superstar documentaries, the subject is still alive and participates by actually being interviewed (instead of just archival footage).
		It is a fascinating, funny, educational, and even touching portrait of one of the lesser known but most fabulous personalities to emerge from the New York scene.
		In addition to the interviews with Brigid herself, there are some other great current interviews plus the requisite archival footage.

		Although the film is peppered with guest commentators (John Waters, Paul Morrissey, and the serene Patricia Hearst), it's all about Brigid — she could have done this movie as a monologue standing on her head.
		Her clean freak obsessions, her little dog figurines, the endless Key Lime pies, and her valiant battles against overeating are all chronicled with nary a raised eyebrow.
		Her "perfect" upper-crusty upbringing and subsequent pre-punk rebellion is the classic Warhol confidante test pattern, but her own use of Polaroids and tape recordings pre-dated Warhol's and probably influenced him more than his other Superstars.
