Feldman, who viewers will remember from her nails-on-a-chalkboard appearance in TRASH, seems to have been restrained by Morrissey in her performance as Jessica. She throws zingers at Sylvia Miles left and right as the perpetual problem child who only stays close to her mother because it means she won’t have to worry about the rent. Some of her improvised dialogue rings true to life, especially sequences where she describes being placed in a sanitarium. In fact, Feldman is so good in HEAT that she probably could have moved on with Ast to character bits and supporting roles in more mainstream works. Unfortunately, Feldman was a deeply troubled young woman (which is reflected in some shots of her in HEAT) who never sought the psychological help she needed. She jumped to her death from her apartment window, clutching a can of Coke and a rosary as she plummeted to the sidewalk below, where she had gathered her ex-boyfriends to surprise them.

Andrea jumped to her death on August 8, 1972 - just a few days after the tenth anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death. Geraldine Smith, who had appeared in Flesh and was a close friend of Andrea, wrote her obituary for the Village Voice:

Ray Johnson grew up in Detroit, was a contemporary of Warhol's – he walked through Billy Name's silver world before it became a Factory – and had more than a little Andrea in him. One series of collages by Johnson is devoted to the subject of Feldman's suicide, that August day shortly before Heat's premiere – and exactly 10 years after Marilyn Monroe's death – when she jumped from the 14th-floor window of a Fifth Avenue high-rise while holding, according to legend, a Bible in one hand and a Coke can in the other. That same year Johnson announced the "death" of one of his signature projects, the New York Correspondence School. Decades later, on a Friday the 13th in January of 1995, he incorporated Feldman's final act into his own.
