Quick Summary

The film New York Doll (2005) centers on Arthur Kane, the bassist for the influential glam rock band The New York Dolls. Formed in 1971, the band revitalized the New York City underground music scene with their raw sound and provocative image, foreshadowing punk rock. Despite their short career, marked by struggles with addiction, the Dolls significantly influenced later bands. The documentary explores Kane's life after the band and a reunion attempt arranged by Morrissey that was tragically cut short by Kane's death.1
