Dennis Hopper, 1970 One of the first people to buy one of Andy Warhol’s soup can paintings, the famous actor quickly became part of the artist’s Los Angeles circle after meeting back in the 60s. The 1972 screenprint from Hopper's art collection of Warhol’s portrait of Mao Zedong became super famous thanks to the bullet holes fired after Hopper mistook the portrait of the Communist leader for Mao himself one wild night in the 1970s, according to Christie’s. After showing it to the artist, Warhol drew circles around the holes, labeling the one over Mao's right shoulder "warning shot" and the one at his upper left eyelid "bullet hole."
Dolly Parton, 1985 Singer Dolly Parton was sexy and sweet, the girl next door as well as an object of desire, which made her instantan a target for Andy Warhol who used her as one of his art subjects. For "Interview," the magazine Warhol created, he described her as "The glittery country goddess from Tennessee."
