Set in the dervish years of the Sixties and Seventies, Famous For Fifteen Minutes is a confession memoir of Ultra Violet. The story recounts of Warhol, a shy, bald, myopic, gay albino from an ethnic Pittsburgh suburb and the "Girl in Andy's Soup," Isabelle Collin Dufresne, a.k.a. Ultra Violet, a convent educated heiress from France. Salvador Dali, her companion for five years, introduced her to Andy in 1963. The book won the Deutsche Bibliothek Frankfurt Award, and has been published in 14 languages.

A glimpse of the Factory insanity

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

A well written memoir by Ultra Violet, who died I’m 2014. It’s worth reading for an inside glimpse of Warhol’s Factory in the early days. She is an interesting woman in her own right.

Scattered but interesting

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

I can't decide who this book is supposed to be about - Ultra or Andy? If you like both then this may be the book for you. Although interesting, the storytelling is scattered and self serving. I wouldn't -not- recommend it, but I'm sure there are better reads on Warhol out there.

Haven't finished it yet but it is interesting and Ultra is charming. I'm not sure if it takes me back to an era I'd like to remember - or forget!

What a roller coaster ride through Warhollian society! Dizzying , humorous and tragic. I appreciated the style of writing and Ultra Violet's side Excursions into her own life and that of other's who were close to Warhol.

One Strange Dude

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

I loved Ultras writing style. I bought the book because of the Warhol Museum's directon listed it as one of the books to get.Since the Museum is located here in Pittsburgh I've become more of a fan.
Warhol was one strange dude.

Rare insight

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

A rare insight into the 60s world from a unique person. She was close to the action yet was able to watch and be part of it all without being on drugs.

A bizarre (not in a good way) ego trip about the authors struggles with family

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

So very disappointing! A bizarre (not in a good way) ego trip about the authors struggles with family, country, & Church. She recounts numerous sexual encounters with celebrities. The relationship with Andy is tertiary. Feels like she is trying way to hard to be clever or memorable.
Would not recommend.

I READ MANY BOOKS ABOUT A.WARHOL'S FACTORY AND TIME.
THIS KIND OF BIO BOOK WRITTEN BY ULTRA VIOLET IS ONE OF THE BEST.
FULL OF ANECTODES AND PERSONAL COMMENTS ABOUT HER EXPERIENCES AT THE FACTORY AND WITH ANDY WARHOL WORLD.
I STRONGLY RECCOMED IT TO EVERYBODY INTERESTED IN THE WARHOL'S ERA!
