Friends of Dorothy
Hilton Als on Dorothy Dean, a black woman who became a galvanizing force for white gay New Yorkers.
On Dorothy Dean: "She was the first woman fact checker at The New Yorker—and a rumored accomplice in a celebrated kidnapping case. She had performed in, and helped produce, Andy Warhol's 1965 underground film classic, 'My Hustler,' and served as an unofficial historian of gay New York."
