NICO ICON

Who is Nico? It’s a complicated, dark and mysterious story: Modeling, singing lessons, Andy Warhol, and later heroin. Her mother cries as she listens to Nico’s (not her given name) music.

Bob Dylan tells Warhol to put Nico into movies.

“I thought she was quite charming,” said Alan Wise, who became her band manager. “She seemed quite a free spirit, looked a little bit desperate, so that immediately attracted me … very erotic but obviously connected to death.”
