    1. That's no surprise since several of Mr. Mitchell's models were in the cast of Hailr, plus he photographed part of the ensemble.

  2. Oui, le musicale Hair.
    The hair of Emerson looks like that of Phyllis Diller, scrambled :)

    1. LOL!!! And Ms. Diller was known to have similar facial expressions.

  3. Sad ending for one of Warhol's superstars, victim of a hit and run in 1975. No one was ever arrested or charged.

  4. A wild man portrait.
    Emerson was also part of the 70’s glam-rock scene in NY, that Long Island cousins of mine were also a part of.

  5. Emerson, tragic.
    Just like Kevin Coughlin the actor from the old comedy film The Gay Deceivers, killed by a hit and run driver in Los Angeles while cleaning the windshield of his car.
