In his Aug. 12, 1980, diary entry, Andy recalled:

At 12:00 I had an appointment to meet Debbie Harry at the office (cab $4). I was early and Debbie and Chris were on time. We worked all afternoon. Debbie was sweet, every picture came out perfect. Vincent was taping her for the Andy Warhol's TV show and he had Lisa Robinson there interviewing her and Chris. I sat in on it so that I'd have a higher profile on the tape for the show. Lisa is a good interviewer. They were there till 4:00.

And I've decided that I'm not going to call girls anymore and invite them places because they're too difficult. I called Sean Young, the really pretty actress who I met with Linda Stein, because I thought that Richard Weisman would like her. But she wouldn't give me her number so I could call her back and it's too hard. I asked her if she wanted to go to a baseball game and she said she'd been to one already. She's in some James Ivory movie that's about to come out.

I had to leave early because I invited Bianca to the Peking Opera, she said yes, and I invited John Samuels, too. We ran into the Met Opera House and just missed the curtain so we had to wait with Chinese people screaming why couldn't they go in. ... 

Then after ten minutes we could go in. Fran Lebowitz was there with Jed. The opera was boring. Good costumes, lots of tumbling. Drag queens.

I saw Margaret Hamilton, the witch in "The Wizard of Oz," and got so excited and went over to her and told her how wonderful she was. She does the Maxwell House commercials now. She's really small.
