DAVID BOWIE: "One most fun companion at that time was Cyrinda Foxe. Cyrinda had hung out with the Warhol crowd back in NY. Well, she had been virtually adopted by them. They had her pegged as their very own Marilyn Monroe. Andy loved her, took her out to fun places, had her dine in fancy restaurants, got her introduced to big stars. She had also had a small part in the infamous New York production of Pork and I think that if events hadn't taken over her life she may have had a good chance of doing a lot more theatre. What I liked about her so much was that although she had been exposed to the most caustic and world-weary set of queens ever unleashed, she retained innocence and had a light but effective sense of humour. She rarely drank or drugged, she didn't fuck around with too many guys. She really seemed to enjoy life just for what it was. She was FUN to be with. I would get her to tell me how she met Marcel Duchamp, what did he wear, what did they talk about, did the old genius hit on her?"
