background
Initially, a film was planned under the title Aging ( aging ). Warhol wanted to film the actor for three minutes every day for six years. At that time (winter 1964/1965) Fagan was Andy Warhol's lover, with whom he lived in his house on Lexington Avenue. The project stalled when Fagan left the factory because he was jealous of Gerard Malanga . A total of 103 rolls of film with his portraits have come down to us. Fagan had starred in Warhol's film Harlot (1965) in December 1964 .
