"Andy Warhol: Hundreds of unseen films to be made public"

http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-28800178

From the article:

New York's Museum of Modern Art is to digitise hundreds of unseen Andy Warhol films and screen them for the public.

The project covers 500 films Warhol created between 1963 and 1972, and will take several years to complete.

He ran away from home in the 70s, spent a few years in NYC trying to get into acting, and was in four movies, including "Cocaine Cowboys". Eventually he returned home and now teaches high school art.

I would not be surprised to see him in other Warhol works. I wonder if I would recognize him, though.
