I know, would it have been that hard to just copy this horse Edie drew on her wall and put it in the movie? This movie makes so many little mistakes and it wouldn't have been hard to get them right.

Sienna looks so cool in the leopard dress. No she does not look like Edie, i.e those big pretty eyes, but i guess we can all look like edie, like wearing stripes and leopard skin clothes and black black eye makeup. These are iconic clothes and symbols which are things that bring us closer to the muses we love. No, sienna is not the best Edie out there, but think of her more as a ordinary girl dressing like her idol edie sedgwick. Its fun and its all make believe.
I agree about the horse drawing. That's the only thing that has bugged me about the sets so far. The Factory looks pretty much exactly the same, but Edie's room looks so far from what her room really looked like... It's not even that hard to do.

Could someone do me a favor and scan the coroner's report of Edie Sedgwick from Stein's book? I would need it, but I do not have a scanner

Thanks for the comparisons!! I know, the horse photo was the first thing that came to mind but maybe they couldn't use it for trademark issues? Again, Edie with blonde hair? This is what bugs me the most about the movie. Guy Pearce is growing on me and he couldn't be half as bad as David Bowie portraying Andy. I don't have Edie obit in my issue of Stein's book, however I scanned this photo which I think is where she took off her cast from her car accident. Sorry for the quality:
There are lots of pictures of Edie with (bleached) blonde hair. check out http://www.natfinkelstein.com/photos/warhol/edie/index.htm for some pictures in color.

I thought it was too!!! So I searched round like a lunatic, I'm 100% sure that's Vanessa Paradis' voice, and I found that it's a song called a Ballade d'Edie S. However I believe that it was written in 1985 for Edie by a french singer called Etienne Dahofairyx said:

thank you
I found the lyrics to the song:
Edie se lasse et traverse le miroir
De blanc se pare pour un rendez-vous nulle part
Edie se glace, si grand ce lit à deux places
Edie s'y glisse et voyage en première place
Toutes ces photos déchirées dans la chambre allumée
C'est un désordre qui ressemble à un départ
Edie s'efface
Des lettres éparpillées dans la chambre allumée
C'est un désordre qui ressemble à un départ
Edie s'endort tout en serrant très, très fort
Contre sa joue, un souvenir de Corfou
C'est un silence qui ressemble fort à un départ
Dedi, dedicated to baby, Edie, dedicated to Edie S.
I don´t know if there´s anyone here who knows french and would like to translate?
I did a quick one with a translatorprogram that I have on my computer... though it´s like babelfish, so the words are a bit weird...
Edie wearies and crosses the mirror
Of white avoids itself for an appointment
nowhere Edie freezes, if large this bed in two places
Edie slips and travels there in first place
All these photographs torn in the lit room
It is a disorder which resembles a departure
Edie is erased
Letters scattered in the lit room
It is a disorder which resembles a departure
Edie falls asleep while tightening very, very extremely
Against its cheek, a memory of Corfou
It is a silence which resembles a Dedi departure extremely,
dedicated to baby, Edie, dedicated to Edie S.
hmm... very weird...

Producers Are Reportedly Dissatisfied With "The Factory Girl"
November 3, 2006 5:49 a.m. EST
Maira Oliveira - All Headline News Reporter
Los Angeles, CA (BANG) - Sometimes what a moviemaker had envisioned for his film never comes out as planned and there's nothing the actors can do about it.
Reports say that Sienna Miller's upcoming film "The Factory Girl" may never be released. It has been revealed that the blonde actress was recently called back to re-shoot some scenes for the biopic about Andy Warhol's tragic muse Edie Sedgwick.
Rumors are now rife that the movie could be scrapped altogether because the producers are unhappy with it.
A source said, "The project may be shelved. There are just too many things wrong with it."
There had been Oscar buzz surrounding the 24-year-old for her lead role as Edie in the film, but the movie has not even been included in the list of upcoming films on the Weinstein Company's website.
However, a spokesman for the company claims that this is an "oversight" and insists the film will be screened in New York and Los Angeles by the end of the year to qualify for Oscar consideration.
Yee haaaaaaa!

NEW YORK POST
POP IDOL
By SERENA FRENCH Post fashion editor
November 28, 2006 -- SHE was the first "It" girl of modern pop culture: to be famous seemingly for nothing. Edie Sedgwick became the toast of New York as the jewel of Andy Warhol's Factory scene and died of a drug overdose in California at age 28. Her life symbolized the arc of the '60s, and her status as an underground fashion icon remains unchallenged.
Now current fashion "It" girl Sienna Miller is bringing her back, starring as Sedgwick in the biopic "Factory Girl." Miller filmed some additional scenes around Manhattan last week.
"She invented the persona of the 'Poor Little Rich Girl,' " says Melissa Painter, co-author of the just-released "Edie: Girl on Fire," a book written with David Weisman, who spent five years with Edie filming the cult hit "Ciao! Manhattan."
"She was acting out the rebellion of a generation against their parents, and in her case that was an upper-class family. A lot of the battle with her family was fought over finances. Her point was, 'I'm not getting enough money from you? Fine. I'm not going to wear any pants.'"
Sedgwick first stepped into the mainstream in Life magazine as "the Girl in Black Tights." She trained in modern dance and part of her style repertoire included those black opaque tights with metallic dresses and strappy high heels; striped tops with fishnet stockings (and no bottoms); and dramatic chandelier earrings. Her Egyptian makeup took hours to apply - as anyone who waited for her to get ready to go out to Max's knew well.
"It was the act of a performance artist to step out in the world like that," says Painter. "In fact there are funny tapes from the Warhol Museum where Andy is talking about how Edie almost got arrested for what she was wearing. She was stopped by police because, at a distance, they thought she might be a drag queen. I think it's hard for people, given where fashion has gone since then, to realize what a step it was, how shocking it was."
For John Dunn, who is best known for his costume work on "The Notorious Bettie Page" and "Casino," "Factory Girl" was a dream come true.
"We look at it now, and it doesn't seem quite as radical, but for someone to be running around in a boy's T-shirt and tights, going to high fashion places and fashionable restaurants, was pretty shocking at the time, and she pulled it off with such style," Dunn says. "She was such an individual, in a way that nobody had ever seen before. It was really groundbreaking. And there wasn't a designer behind it saying, 'Here put this on.' She was the factory creating this fashion look."
"Ciao! Manhattan" is the basis for several scenes and documents her in a leopard coat. "The coats she wears are ones she grabbed from her grandmother's closet and wore them in ways that nobody else would."
Some pieces in the film are by Betsey Johnson, who designed clothes for Warhol and Edie and The Velvet Underground, and for whom Edie was a fit model.
"I knew Edie by day and at Max's by night," Johnson says. "I was designing for Paraphenalia at the time, and it was 1965. My body type was not suitable for the 1960s, and I needed a fitting model with that perfectly boyish body type, and Edie had it. She would just hop over to my railroad five-story walk-up apartment and fit the clothes for me. I paid her in clothes and money. She was a sweet simple girl. I don't know the other sides of Edie. I know the sweet, wide-eyed, enthusiastic Edie."
"She was famous mostly for how she walked into a room," Painter says. "It had a lot to do with the power of her charisma, but it had a lot do with this performance she was putting on. She was really a risk taker, she was daring. She was authentic."
