This fascinating chronicle of ubiquitous Warhol Superstar Brigid Berlin is told through interviews with the sixty-something media heiress and ex-bohemian food-and-drug addict herself, as well as with other former Factory-related personalities and commentators such as Patty Hearst and John Waters. As Pie in the Sky traces her early days as a rebellious socialite, the first of her “scandalous” appearances in Warhol’s films, and her role as muse to the filmmaker-artist, this unique personality emerges as something of a significant artistic presence in her own right.
