Edie Sedgwick #1

[~Gia~]

Where is that 2'nd footage from?

 

[fairyx]

that´s from a Jonas Mekas film called Diaries, Notes & Sketches.
a beautiful, but insanely long and boring film.. I think the Edie footage is from a new years party, if I remember correctly..

I just saw some footage of Edie that I've never seen before, it was in the film A Walk Into The Sea..It was really cool. But they said she was in love with Andy and stuff...^^

btw, it´s available on ebay and amazon.

 

[Klove1121]

You can pre-order it on amazon. It will be released on 10/28/08. This looks like a very interesting film.

I love that we share all this info with each other!! I would have never even known to look for this movie. So thanks to everyone (me included) for their hard work researching everything that is Edie and putting it on this thread. I know I appreciate it!

Thanks for posting ScarlettLover, I love her rainbow dress

 

[Klove1121]

I love the Rainbow Dress too. And her lovely smile as she walks down the hall of crazy people. But I still cannot get over the fact that she actually did have dozens of real life electroshock therapy sessions. Crazy!!

 

[loonaka]

Nah it's not that crazy..why do you think that?

 

[madison01]

^ shock therapy is/was very controversial... meant only for people with very serious psychological issues. I mean... getting your brain "fixed" through seizures? that's pretty crazy and, I would imagine, a rather frightening experience...
she seemed like a zombie in that clip. it's so different from earlier years when she was so poised and expressive. I just watched poor little rich girl yesterday. she had the most marvelous reactions...!

 

[babydoll1125]

Didn't everyone her knew her at that time say that she liked getting shock therapy? That it was like a drug to her...
