HEAT is stolen out from under its two name stars by two hilarious supporting ladies, Pat Ast and Andrea Feldman. Ast is a larger than life character, with an unkempt pile of angular hair and a sharp tongue to whip anyone who crosses her path. As Lydia, she carries around a fan, an excellent prop used to seduce, terrify, and belittle the various motel guests she comes in contact with, and commands every scene she’s in. Ast ... creates some of the most memorable lines in the film, including “Hey! Stop that splashing in the pool!”, “Those pennies on the floor are for good luck, so don’t touch them”, and “Ooh, this is a little piece of semi-heaven!” The few scenes she shares with Sylvia Miles are made all the more captivating when it is revealed that it was made sure each actress despised the other by both Warhol and Morrissey spinning stories between the two. Her roles in this film and REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS seem to be her largest, as someone of her girth and personality wasn’t exactly easy to write for. Her supporting role in CLUB LIFE is another noteworthy performance.

In August of 1972, Andrea summoned several ex-boyfriends, including poet Jim Carroll, to the home of her parents so that they would be witness to her 'final starring role'; her suicide. Feldman was holding a can of Coke in one hand and a rosary in the other when she jumped from the fourteenth floor of 51 Fifth Avenue & 12th St, NYC. Urban legend often mis-attributes the location of Feldman’s suicide to the Hotel Chelsea.

"The most striking performance - in large part non-performance - comes from the late Andrea Feldman as the flat-voiced, freaked-out daughter, a mass of psychotic confusion, infantile and heart-breaking." (New York Magazine) [4]
