Billy Name, a dancer/lighting designer, probably played one of the most important roles in the "Factory People" entourage. He was the "gate keeper" of the Factory, and he became the official house photographer shooting over 5000 photos of the Silver Factory era. He was the only person who ever actually lived there. After Andy was shot in '68 he left the Factory. Years later he was back in New York and attended Andy's funeral. At the funeral, Paul Morrissey told him that Andy had saved Billy's silver trunk for him. Inside it were 5000 photo negatives, among other things.
