By the late 1960s, Warhol was using not just sync sound but also color and an increasing emphasis on narrative in an attempt to expand the audience for his movies. One of the more successful of these ventures, Lonesome Cowboys re-imagines Romeo and Juliet as a Western, shot at an Arizona dude ranch often used as a Hollywood location. As the Nurse to Viva's Juliet, Mead spends much of the film in idle gossip with his charge, as they wonder whether the film's reluctant Romeo might prefer the other cowboys. Not content to be a bystander, Mead undertakes a flirtation with Joe Dallesandro that culminates in a spectacularly salacious dance scene. – DP
