Charles Aberg
Charles Preston Aberg III (August 11, 1945 – April 13, 1982)[1] was an American artist who starred in Andy Warhol's unreleased 1966 feature Withering Sights, a spoof of the classic novella Wuthering Heights.[2] Aberg played Heathcliff while co-star Ingrid Superstar was Cathy. A native of Wareham, Massachusetts,[3] Aberg first encountered Warhol in February 1966, a few weeks before Sights was filmed. As he did with most of his Screen Test subjects, Warhol shot three rolls of film in one sitting. Aberg was modestly poised in a black turtleneck, seemingly anxious and uncomfortable throughout the filming.[4]
Aberg relocated to Dallas soon afterward, becoming a painter. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in Plano, Texas in 1982.[1]
