Hotel Goddess: Mary Woronov!
She’s big! BIG!
Mary Woronov was literally born in a hotel. Namely, The Breakers, that monument to opulent hospitality in Palm Beach. The twin-towered colossus was known as Ream General Hospital during WW2.
Ream.
Mary rocketed to Underground stardom as Hanoi Hannah in Chelsea Girls, shot in New York’s creepy-but-arty Hotel Chelsea. “Of all the girls at Andy Warhol's Factory,” she said, “I was the butch one.”
Pretty little Gerard Malanga looked dainty next to her, even with a bullwhip in his hand.
She had roles in several Roger Corman movies, including Death Race 2000. She played Felicia in Secrets of a Chambermaid, whose very title reeks of the hospitality industry.
Hotel Kranepool Management ordered staff artist Joe Courtney to create a series of whatever it is he creates to celebrate Mary Woronov’s induction into the Kranepool’s Hotel Hall of Fame.
Celestial heights! The Stars!

Dea d’albergo: Mary Woronov
Mary Woronov è letteralmente nata in albergo. The Breakers, quel monumento all’opulenta ospitalità a Palm Beach, nella Florida, divenne Ream General Hospital durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale.
Mary sorse a fama Underground nei panni di Hanoi Hannah, in Chelsea Girls, girato dentro il losco ma artistico Hotel Chelsea, a New York. “Di tutte le ragazze della fabbrica di Andy Warhol, ero io l’unica manesca.”
Quel bel gagà Gerard Malanga sembrava effeminato accanto a lei, persino con la frusta in mano.
Recitò in vari film di Roger Corman, incluso Death Race 2000. Interpretò il ruolo di Felicia in Segreti di una cameriera d’albergo, cui titolo allude all’industria alberghiera.
La Gestione di Hotel Kranepool ha commissionato all’arredatore Joe Courtney questa serie di immagini per commemorare l’induzione di Mary Woronov nel Panteon delle dèe d’albergo.
