Solanas died on April 25, 1988, at the age of 52.Īmerican Horror Story: Cult got Solana’s attempt to murder Andy Warhol right, but not the rest of her story. Solanas was diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia and was sentenced to three years in prison, with one year served, but after her release, she stalked Warhol, leading to another arrest and being institutionalized several times. In 1968, believing Warhol was conspiring to steal her works, she entered The Factory and shot him three times, also shooting art critic Mario Amaya, and later that day, she turned herself in to the police. That same year, Solanas self-published the SCUM Manifesto, in which she argued that men had ruined the world and women had to fix it, suggesting that they overthrew society and eliminated the male sex (SCUM stands for “Society for Cutting Up Men”). Warhol read it but thought the script was so explicit that it must have been a police trap, and when Solanas called to ask about the script, he told her he lost it, but offered her to appear in one of his movies ( I, a Man) as compensation. ![]() ![]() Solanas met Warhol in 1967 outside The Factory (Warhol’s studio) and asked him to produce a play she wrote. ![]()
