Warhol Superstar: Joe Dallesandro

Actor, Joe Dallessandro (or “Little Joe” as he was more commonly known) was one of the biggest sex symbols of the 60’s and 70’s. Little Joe got his start in film after being discovered by Warhol who added him to his list of Superstars. During his time at the Factory, Dallesandro starred in the Warhol/Morrissey film trilogy Flesh, Trash, and Heat, as well as Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein and Lonesome Cowboys. His roles in these underground films broke barriers around previous notions of male sexuality, turning him into a gay sex symbol and a pioneering figure in the sexual revolution.

Dallessandro was popular for showing a lot of “Flesh,” and rocking his birthday-suit, but with or without clothes he had a style that is hard to recreate. It’s the style of a rebel, a badass, a symbol of youth and street culture, a waking dream of sexy.
