Mario Montez, a Warhol Glamour Avatar, Dies at 78
By Douglas Martin, The New York Times
Mario Montez, whose glamour and poise as a drag performer elevated him to the heights of avant-garde theater and cinema in the 1960s and made him a fixture in films by Andy Warhol, died on Sept. 26 in Key West, Fla.
The cause was complications of a stroke, said Claire K. Henry, senior curatorial assistant of the Andy Warhol Film Project at the Whitney Museum of American Art. He was 78.
Mr. Montez has been the subject of seminars and screenings at Columbia University, the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of the Moving Image in New York.
