Cyrinda Foxe

Cyrinda Foxe is remembered in the diary through two distinct settings: the cast of Andy Warhol’s 1976 film Bad and a 1977 party where she linked Warhol’s image to the Beatlemania light show. These glimpses place her at the intersection of his filmmaking, social circle, and the circulation of celebrity images.

Film Work

In 1976, Foxe appeared in Bad, filmed in New York with a 35mm camera and a union crew. The cast combined people associated with Warhol’s studio films, including Foxe and Geraldine Smith, with Hollywood professionals Carroll Baker and Perry King. The diary identifies Foxe with the East 17th Street neighborhood, distinguishing her from the established screen actors in the ensemble. Jed Johnson directed the film, which was well received; Foxe’s presence represented the continuing place of Warhol’s studio performers within a more formally produced movie.

At the Beatlemania Party

On June 10, 1977, Foxe was among the guests at a party for Beatlemania at Studio 54. The diary notes that she had formerly lived with David Johansen and was now living with a member of Aerosmith, capturing her through the changing affiliations of New York’s music and nightlife scene. The entry offers no further account of either relationship, but its compressed update places Foxe within a social network that crossed between performers, musicians, and Warhol’s circle.

At the party, Foxe told Warhol that a picture of him with a Campbell’s Soup Can appeared in Beatlemania’s light show. The detail turns her appearance into more than a social encounter: she brought news of Warhol’s image circulating inside a musical spectacle, where his recognizable Pop imagery had become part of the show. The diary records Foxe as both a participant in that world and a witness to the afterlife of Warhol’s public persona.
