Beautiful Darling chronicles the short but influential life of transgender pioneer Candy Darling, who was a major part of Andy Warhol’s entourage and was one of the inspirations for the Lou Reed song, “Walk on the Wild Side.”
"Rasin has otherwise crafted a sympathetic portrait of an unhappy kid who grew up to become the glittering star of her childhood dreams, even if her time in the spotlight was relatively brief and not always as fulfilling as she had hoped. Recommended." - Video Librarian
