Evan Peters Is Playing 3 Notorious Cult Leaders on AHS, and We Are Terrified

In 1968, radical feminist Valerie Solanas, who advocated for the elimination of men, shot Warhol and Mario Amaya, an art critic and curator, at Warhol's studio. Amaya suffered minor injuries while Warhol barely survived and suffered physical effects from the attack for the rest of his life.
