Bob Colacello began his writing career in 1969 as a graduate student in the Columbia University film program, publishing film reviews in the Village Voice.  A 1970 review of Andy Warhol’s film Trash, which he hailed as “a great Roman Catholic masterpiece,” attracted the attention of Warhol and his frequent film collaborator, Paul Morrissey.  They approached Mr. Colacello to write for Interview magazine, a new art, film, and fashion title Warhol had only recently begun to publish. He was made Editor within six months, and for the next 12 years remained directly involved in all aspects of life and business in Warhol’s famed Factory, turning Interview into one of the most best known lifestyle magazines of the time.  Since leaving Interview he has been a regular contributor to Vanity Fair magazine and has established himself as one of the most prolific biographical writers in the U.S.  He is the author of the highly praised Ronnie and Nancy: Their Path to the White House, 1911-1980, and his memoir of working with Warhol in the 1970s and 1980s, Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up, was called the best book on the subject by The New York Times.  Colacello served for more than ten years on ACRIA’s Board of Directors and received a special honor for his service at the 2007 Holiday Dinner.
