(Monday, June 3, 1968, 4:20 p.m. EDT) — Pop artist and underground film producer Andy Warhol, 39, was shot and critically wounded this afternoon at his New York film studio, known as “The Factory.”

Valerie Solanas, an actress and self-styled radical feminist, told police that she shot Warhol because “he had too much control of my life.”

Warhol underwent 4 1/2 hours of surgery after the bullets tore through his chest, abdomen, spleen and both lungs as it passed through him (he would survive the attack and recover).

Art critic Mario Amaya was slightly wounded.
