Known for her extensive work with Andy Warhol, Holly was one of the earliest faces of transgender visibility on the world stage.

Famous for her collaborations with Andy Warhol – such as ‘Women In Revolt’ and ‘Trash’ – Woodlawn was perhaps best known as the figure who inspired Lou Reed’s ‘Take a Walk On The Wild Side’.

Ms Woodlawn’s cause of death has not yet been revealed. She passed in a hospice in West Hollywood.
