Isabelle Collin Dufresne

Isabelle Collin Dufresne, known professionally as Ultra Violet, was a French-American artist, actress, and writer. She initially studied and worked with Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí before relocating to New York, where she became closely associated with Pop artist Andy Warhol and his Factory scene. As a Warhol superstar she appeared in several of his underground films. Beyond her work in film, she was an active participant in the 1960s and 1970s avant-garde art scene, collaborating with other notable artists and later documenting her experiences in memoirs that chronicled life at Warhol's Factory and her interactions with the era’s leading cultural figures.
