Jackie Curtis


Jackie Curtis was an American actress, writer, singer and Warhol Superstar.

Jackie Curtis was born John Curtis Holder, Jr. in New York City to John Holder, Sr. and Jenevive Uglialoro. Her parents divorced and she had one sibling, halfbrother Timothy Holder, who is an openly gay hiphop priest. Her maternal grandmother, who she was mostly raised by, was Ann Uglialoro, known by her nickname Slugger Ann. Jackie performed as both a man and a woman throughout her career. While performing in drag, Curtis would typically wear lipstick, glitter, bright red hair, and ripped dresses and stockings. Curtis pioneered this style, a combination of trash and glamour which has prompted assertions that Curtis inspired the glitter rock or glam rock movement of the 1970s.
