You've met some very interesting American Pop Icons in your lifetime. What was meeting Michael Jackson and Andy Warhol like?
Helnwein:
Michael Jackson was really interesting. He was very smart and very intelligent. I remember talking with him for an hour, and he brought Lisa (Marie Presley) along with him. So we talked about art and he was asking me about what techniques I use and telling me about what paintings he liked. And then he left. And Lisa looked at me and said, "Oh my god. He was totally normal. That's amazing!" I mean, this is his wife saying this!" Gottfried Helnwein, the guy who made MJ's HIStory artwork, these ones...
He was used to support Narconon...
Quote:
| Narconon is a residential program aimed at substance abusers, headquartered in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.[1] It operates through several dozen treatment centers worldwide, chiefly in the United States and Western Europe. Each Narconon center is independently owned and operated under a license from ABLE International, a Scientology-related entity.[2] Actress Kirstie Alley is their International Spokeswoman. The program has garnered considerable controversy as a result of its association with Scientology and its drug addiction treatment methods. |
