My Take
Viva fascinates me less as a screen presence and more as a chronicler of her own era. Sitting at the heart of Warhol's Factory, she could have settled for being a muse, yet she kept moving between modeling, painting, acting, and writing. That refusal to be pinned to a single role is what I admire most. The underground films she starred in were daring, even reckless by the standards of their day, but I suspect her sharpest instrument was always the pen. She didn't just live the 1960s avant-garde; she documented it, and that gives her a durability most scene figures never earn.
