“Dear Andy Kaufman: I Hate Your Guts! is a collection of letters written to the legendary comic at the height of his female-wrestling period, and tonight, the Cinefamily celebrates its publication by honoring the legacy of one of comedy's greatest and most bizarre icons. Author of the book, Kaufman's former girlfriend, and director of the 1989 documentary on Kaufman, I'm From Hollywood, Lynn Margulies presents a collection of rare Kaufman snippets, including a German video chronicling the exhumation of Kaufman's corpse, capped off by a live appearance by Kaufman creation, Tony Clifton.”

Process Media presents an Andy Kaufman tribute: Dear Andy Kaufman, I Hate Your Guts!
The great provocateur Andy Kaufman died 25 years ago, and tonight we honor his legacy with the release of the new Process book Dear Andy Kauman, I Hate Your Guts! and an evening of rare and never-before-seen solid Kaufman gold pulled from the video archives of Lynne Margulies (Kaufman's girlfriend, director of the Kaufman doc I'm from Hollywood, and author of the book).
Margulies will present a treasure trove of rarities including recently unearthed footage from Kaufman's brief but illustrious career as "Intergender Wrestling Champion of the World," his legendary, never-before-seen performance at LA Improv's "Midnight Snacks" in 1975, and a video, allegedly made by a German film crew, of someone driving to the Kaufman family plot in New Jersey and exhuming Andy's corpse.
And, as a grand finale for the evening, none other than TONY CLIFTON has threatened to appear in his only West Coast performance for more than half a decade. Don't miss it.
