The Phillips Story
Julia Phillips’ rampage of publicity-inflated, self-exalting grandeur has, it seems, gone the limit. As noted in the April 7 Film Clips, she now proclaims that “my story is the iconographic, capitalist story of the second half of the 20th Century.”
Her story, in fact, is little more than a frenzy of name-dropping and pitiful attempts at character assassination of those “accomplices” in her cocaine-assisted fall from success to devastation. While it is admirable to recover from such depths, the vehicle Phillips uses brings new meaning to the words small and pathetic.
Ms. Phillips may no longer be “doing” lunch, but I wonder if she is still taking calls? Andy Warhol on Line 1: Your 15 minutes are up.
