Talk:Screen Tests

Untitled

The interwiki link to german WP is simply wrong, as it goes to the poet Pietro Heliczer, one of the ST-subjects.--Radh (talk) 16:59, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

@Radh, it's fixed now that there's an English version. Rosekelleher (talk) 19:37, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Possible additions

Here is MOMA's list of screen test subjects.

Here are some names from that list that don't appear in this article, but for whom there are articles in Wikipedia. None are famous like Dylan, but presumably they're all notable, if they're in Wikipedia. Some of these are obviously the people who appeared in the screen tests, others could be different people with the same names.

• Charles Aberg - Warhol actor
• Peter Hujar - bio mentions screen test
• Henry Geldzahler - acting for Warhol mentioned in bio
• Tony Towle - NYC poet - same person?
• Kyoko Kishida - Warhol not mentioned in bio, but Google confirms Japanese actress by this name did a screen test
• John Giorno - acting for Warhol mentioned in bio
• Kenneth King (dancer) - collaboration with Warhol mentioned in bio
• Richard Markowitz - composer from California - probably not the same person
• Richard Schmidt (basketball coach) - probably not the same person

I'm not sure which ones to include in this article - should it include only the most famous people, or what? And famous to whom? I guess I'll be bold add the ones in bold, and if anyone disagrees, go ahead and undo it. Rosekelleher (talk) 19:20, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Question

Did Joe Dallesandro ever do a screen test for Warhol? There's one on Youtube that he did for the Athletic Model Guild, but that was before he met Warhol.
