Factory girl, Ivy Nicholson's new film, The Dead Life
Ivy Nicholson was born Irene Nicholson in Queens, New York in February of 1933, to working class Irish Catholic parents. She started modeling at the age of 16, and became very successful, gracing the covers of Vogue and Elle.
In those days there was not much in the way of work for older models, so when she turned 30, Ivy sought out acting roles, eventually landing in Andy Warhol’s Factory. There she appeared in minor roles in a handful of Warhol films, and met and married Ciao Manhattan (1972) director John Palmer who was working as a camera man at the Factory. John is often credited with the idea for the film, Empire.
Ivy became a Factory regular performing in Andy Warhol's "Les Femmes" (1969), "The Loves of Ondine" (1968) "I, a Man" (1967) and "Batman Dracula" (1964)

In 1970, Ivy moved to Paris, where she painted and guided her children's careers. Ivy has four children. Her oldest son, Darius DePoleon is a viscount and a musician in Paris where he is in a band called "Eurotrash" with other European royals. Her second son, Sean Bolger, is a fashion photographer in Los Angeles. Her daughter with John Palmer, Penelope Palmer, was a child actress and starred in Le Femme Enfant alongside Klaus Kinski. Penelope's twin brother, Gunther Palmer, was a child model and teen actor in Paris and the lead vocalist of the alternative rock band, Mandrake, before going on to become the vocalist and percussionist in the band Stagefright.
Ivy occasionally performed with Gunther’s band in the late nineties and she recently finished making a new film in New York, The Dead Life
