- Bridging the gap between Andy Warhol and Scientology.
You can brush up on the previous entry in full if you like, but to jump right into it here we'll take a quick look at the visual aide from the previous entry to remind ourselves of where I had Scientology in relation to the Warhol orbit (to the far top and a little to the right of the Andy Warhol node) [0]:

I can't believe I missed this earlier, but that gap can now be closed with a far more direct link.
[1. smh.com.au - (Nov 22 2019) "'I think there's a misconception': musician Beck on Scientology"]: https://archive.ph/ab0Zz#selection-2897.0-2903.424]:
BECK was born into art. His father, David Campbell, is a celebrated Canadian composer and arranger; his mother, Bibbe Hansen (Beck later took her surname), was one of Andy Warhol's Factory "superstars" in the 1960s. They separated when Beck was 10. Bibbe is Jewish, Campbell a Scientologist, as is Beck's ex-wife, actor Marissa Ribisi, with whom he has two children, son Cosimo (aged 15) and daughter Tuesday (12).
This has led to persistent speculation and curiosity about Beck's own beliefs. "I think there's a misconception that I am a Scientologist. I'm not a Scientologist. I don't have any connection or affiliation with it. My father has been a Scientologist for a long time, but I've pretty much just focused on my music and my work for most of my life, and tended to do my own thing … I think it's just something people ran with."
Sure enough, Bibbe Hansen indeed appears under "Friends of Warhol and "superstars" associated with the Factory" in the Wikipedia entry for The Factory.
Furthermore:
After a chance meeting with Andy Warhol, he invited [Bibbe Hansen] to collaborate on a film about her recent incarceration in various youth penal institutions. The result was Warhol's film Prison, co-starring Edie Sedgwick.[5]
Edie's death being brought up for a couple of reasons in the previous post ([0]).
According to Wikipedia:
His father was a Presbyterian minister but [David Campbell] himself has been a Scientologist for over 45 years.
So we can now say:
Scientology -> David Campbell -> Bibbe Hansen -> Andy Warhol
As an aside, it is now noted that Marissa Ribisi and her twin brother Giovanni Ribisi are active Scientologists.
Also, with this news coming out about Beck Hansen's interview, I now understand why Kirstie Alley, a Scientologist, is trying to woo the twitterverse with heart-string-pulling sentiments and an ironic mention of the drugging of society which Scientology is connected to, to gain positive rep for herself and Scientology by extension (damage control) – something for which she has been retweeted by several unaware QAnons and/or Pizzagaters/Truthers/etc.
