History
Beginning in the fall of 1976, Monday through Friday, Warhol and Hackett talked by phone each morning around 9:00 am and he spoke to her about the events of the previous day. (Weekend entries were done the following Monday in a longer session.) Hackett transcribed his monologue onto a legal pad. Later in the morning she would use a typewriter to create the diary pages. "But whatever its broader objective," Hackett writes, "its narrow one, to satisfy tax auditors, was always on Andy's mind." The Internal Revenue ServiceInternal Revenue Service
