Does anyone know if they are calling it Factory Girl because of the Rolling Stones song? If they are that would be stupied because i really doubt it's about her!

FACTORY GIRL


Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair
Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere
We get buses everywhere
Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat
Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats
Her zipper's broken down the back
Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night
She's a sight for sore eyes
Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress
Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet
She ain't come out yet
Waiting for a factory girl

I doubt the movie has anything to do with that Stones song,its definetly not about Edie.That would be something else to add thats ingnorant about this film.

 

[Boomer]

^^ I don't think the Stones song is in any way related to Edie or the Factory or the movie....

 

[babydoll1125]

Yeah that's what i was saying, it would be stupid if they got the name from it. It'd be even more funny if they played it in the film!

When we were riding in the limosine, after Edie had just come out of Capezio, and had just bought brand new shoes, she was carrying on about how she loved the shoes. Had spent a lot of money on them. And after taking a second look at them, she decided she didn't like them, rolled down the window and threw them out. That's the essential Edie. Not a happy person. - Sterling Morrison

I knew Edie in Cambridge, when she first got out of Silver Hill- Silver Hill was one of the bins they put her in. She had brothers and sisters in school in Cambridge and she started hanging around the Casablanca, the central bar in Cambridge, in the Brattle Theater, which is where the Humphrey Bogart craze started, this was in '63. Edie became friends with Ed Hood, Tommy Goodwin, Chuck Wein, Ed Hennessy. She seemed to blossom in this setting, seemed to be happy for the first time. One got the impression of this wounded creature who was just opening up to life. - Donald Lyons

What I loved about Edie most was her extraordinary attention to detail. Every bracelet. She seemed to have a lot patience for that kind of thing. Putting herself together. I thought that was just wonderful, that she could take the time to do that. Layer it, paint it, put it together. She was incredibly strong. Physically stong as well. I always felt i was in such a rush I never had time for my own detail, and I though I would like to be able to do that. - Pat Hartley

yeah i have to agree. although, in her book, everyone who knew her says that even tho at first she was a really fabulous creature, after a while people would get sick of having to give her loads of attention and constantly look after her like a child.

Which Edie films would you recommend seeing?

 

[Diamond Star]

Which Edie films would you recommend seeing?

Ciao Manhattan for sure.

Surely it's called 'Factory Girl' because Andy's studio was called The Factory...

 

[Miss Nettie]

Edie was andy's beautiful muse...

 

[brokenenglish]

Her voice is much deeper than I expected...
and quite distinctive too, very sexy.
And on film, in motion her legs look 10 feet long.

 

[greeneyebeauty]

Her eyebrows were entirely to thick.

 

[babydoll1125]

Yeah i hate how she drew them on so thick. Naturally they were perfect though, not to thick not to thin.

Have you read the chapter "Taxi" from Andy Warhol's book, Andy Warhol A to Z or something? He writes about Edie, but in the chapter she's called Taxi.

omg, i was just watching a programme about jimi hendrix on some uk sky channel, and suddenly a guy came on the screen called chuck wein. it was so weird. he was being interviewd, and under his name it said 'film director'. i dont know, after reading edies book and reading so much about all these people from the factory and stuff, its just weird to see them in person/reality. kinda surreal? i dont no.

I've found so many Edie pics that I have never seen.
