 In 1967 , Solanas encountered Andy Warhol outside his studio , The Factory , and asked him to produce her play . He accepted the script for review and told Solanas that it was " well typed " and promised to read it . According to Factory lore , Warhol , whose films were often shut down by the police for obscenity , thought the script was so pornographic that it must have been a police trap . Solanas contacted Warhol about the script , and was told that he had lost it . He also jokingly offered her a job at the Factory as a typist . Insulted , Solanas demanded money for the lost manuscript . Instead , Warhol paid her $ 25 to appear in his film , I , a Man .
