Grew up in a small bungalow in Massapequa Park, Long Island, New York where she and her mother had moved after she divorced her husband. Candy also had a half brother, Warren, from her mother's first marriage.
Before dying in 1974, Candy left a note for her friends, in which she wrote: "Unfortunately before my death I had no desire left for life. Even with all my friends and my career on the upswing I felt too empty to go on in this unreal existence. I am just so bored by everything. You might say bored to death. It may sound ridiculous but is true." She also ended her note with a "Tinkerbell, Hi!", referring to the writer for Interview magazine who, in 1986, committed suicide by jumping out of a window.

Immortalized in the Lou Reed songs, "Candy Says", and "Walk on the Wild Side".
