In 1964, just as Warhol was completing a series of Marilyn canvases, Dorothy Podber, a speed freak and friend of Factory photographer, Billy Name arrived at Warhol's studio and asked Warhol if she could shoot them. Warhol, apparently not comprehending Podber's meaning of the word "shoot" agreed, at which time Podber pulled out a small revolver and fired a shot into a stack of 'Marilyn' paintings. The surviving canvases were called the 'Shot Marilyn' paintings.
