Excuse me: An actress named 'Joy Bang'??!
That must rank as the single most hilarious and, I don't know what, name in movie history. At least producers would instantly know what she could have been up to... ;-)
Hey, What ever gets you on screen, right?

Actually, Joy Bang was part of Andy Warhol's NYC Exploding Plastic Inevitable troupe. Like Ultra Violet, she parlayed her "underground" success into a few, sporadic Hollywood bit parts. The late 60's, early 70's Hollywood scene was quixotic.
sharethis is probably why Warhol Superstar VIVA is in this film.
Woody must have had a real affinity for the Warhol crowd.

Somehow that just feels wrong.
There was indeed an actress named "Joy Bang" but her name doesn't mean what you think it does. At that time a "joy bang" meant a light hit of heroin, or perhaps some other drug, taken by an occasional user. The idea being that one could take the occasional "joy bang" and not get hooked.
I had no idea! I've heard the expression before but didn't realize it referred to a hit of heroin or something else. Thanks!
