This Week In '66 - Baby Jane Holzer

 

With Lynn Peril

Maybe because both Passover and Easter took place this week in ‘66, it was a slooooooow one for news. Well, there was a ton of fighting in Vietnam, but between you and me, with everything happening in Ukraine right now, I just can’t go there. Long story short, this week’s deep dive is dedicated to socialite and Warhol superstar Baby Jane Holzer. In late March/early April 1966, Holzer was on an East Coast publicity junket to support her debut single, You’re Gonna Hurt Yourself. Famous for being famous, and dressed in the most outrageous mod fashions, Holzer drew positive and negative reviews.
