A new documentary on Mary Woronov, with the working title of Quite Contrary! Mary Woronov, My LIfe as a Cult Queen - from Warhol to Corman, is due to be released in 2011.
After leaving Warhol's Factory, Mary Woronov went on to appear in over ninety films and television episodes including Deathrace 2000 (1975), Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979), Eating Raoul (1982), Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (1989) and The New Women (2001). Her television work included appearances on Murder She Wrote, Charlie's Angels and Knightrider. She has also written five books and was a graduate writing instructor at the Otis College of Art and Design. Her creatively written account of her Factory years, Swimming Underground, featuring photographs by Billy Name, was published by Serpent's Tail in 2000. In October 2008 she participated in a panel discussion of Andy Warhol's superstars (along with Holly Woodlawn and Bibbe Hansen) at the Purcell Room in London in conjunction with the Hayward Gallery's exhibition "Andy Warhol: Other Voices Other Rooms." (You Tube footage at: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9meCrxfBbBM.) In addition to writing and acting, Mary is also an accomplished artist. Recently her work was exhibited at Bert Green Fine Art in Los Angeles (July 10 to August 18, 2008).
