Lung LegLung Leg (real name Lisa Carr) was the pin-up girl and star of the transgressive movement, disappearing as fast as she rose to fame. She appeared in several Richard Kern movies, including the starring role in one of his longest features You Killed My First, as well as his Butthole Surfers video for their song "Concubine". She was also featured on the cover of Sonic Youth's album Evol. Immediately following her short film career, she disapeared. The only known interview with her, in Film Threat's "Film Threat Classic #12" Magazine, is out of print. A blurb for the magazine article says that she took a lot of LSD. IMDB.com states that her father (unnamed) holds the American record for the "Decathalon" (sic). Nick Zedd wrote in his autobiography, Totem of the Depraved, that Lung Leg moved to Minneapolis, then moved back to New York City, after a short romance with German musician Blixa Bargeld of Einstrzende Neubauten. He also says that she then became a stripper in Queens, New York and became insane, obsessed with an imaginary German villian named "Ninny" who was trying to spread Communism and destroy Christmas. Later a band from Glasgow, Scotland named themselves Lung Leg (band), presumably in homage, and played some shows with Sonic Youth. External Links Leg, Lung
