King says he was cast without auditioning. He had just been in Mandingo (1975) which he says "was a big deal because it was kind of trashy. And trashy, to the Andy Warhol universe, was what they liked. Trash was big art to them." [5] I’d never wear it. I’d go into a panic if I ever had to wash it. So it lives on a shelf. But that Warhol shirt is just perfect. Perfect, perfect, perfect. I think things have a personal value when you get them in real time. I have a Siouxsie and the Banshees T-shirt that I bought in 1982, when I was in high school in the States. It’s a beauty. Yet there’s something else about a shirt that represents something you didn’t do in real time, something you wish you could have done if you were a little bit older, a little bit cooler, a little bit more fortunate geography-wise. a b c d e f g h "Perry King talks about the making of Andy Warhol's BAD (1977)".

Jed Johnson promised not to shoot the scene but King says "the minute we finished shooting and had left--they went and shot that. As much as I hate it--it really fits in with the rest of that over-the-top universe."

The lead role was meant to be played by Vivian Vance but she dropped out and was replaced by Carroll Baker. It was Baker's first film in the US in eight years. [5] Baker had been making movies in Europe where she usually had to take her clothes off. "I'm looking to get away from that", she said. "People don't realize you're acting. They just see you're sexy and they won't take you seriously." [7] Perry King later recalled "we actually all worked very hard on that film. Both Carroll Baker and I worked very hard especially... I think it was their attempt at a mainstream film... It was cast like it was a Hollywood film." [5]

Warhol was not, however, just a trailblazing artist; he was also a star with an image to match. “He really understood the idea of having a public persona,” says Fiontan Moran, assistant curator at Tate Modern. “Pop art was made from familiar objects, it was accessible, and a winning combination with his distinctive visual identity.” a b Lee, Grant.

The movie was made without Paul Morrissey and Joe Dallesandro, the director-star team from previous Warhol movies. Perry King played a Dallesandro-type role and says the crew would sometimes call him "Joe". [5] Director Jed Johnson was Warhol's companion at the time. [2] Warhol himself was a fan of a fashion show, going to see runway happenings by the likes of Halston and Saint Laurent. Colacello recalls that the artist would turn to him and say the same thing each time: “Gee, Bob, we should make this into a play.” He laughs. “Warhol came out of the world of fashion, and he never really left it.”
