I looked this up at amazon.com, and apparantly it was something limited, and it´s out of print.

That is so typical..most Edie stuff is so hard to get a hold of.

amazon

i went to the publisher's site and found this:

About Alphascript Publishing - Annually, millions of works are written worldwide in the research industry.Enterprises and scientists would be especially interested in these ideas; nevertheless, up to today, most of this work is shelved as a result of high costs.Alphascript Publishing specializes in the publication of such works and uses commitment and the latest technology in order to make the invaluable work of such researchers available worldwide, quickly and efficiently.

Q: …do all of Alphascript’s books take their content from Wikipedia?

Alphascript: Yes, since we believe that the quality of the Wikipedia-articles is so good that it is worthwhile creating books with them. Wikipedia themselves give an impulse for this. The articles published on their sites are free in every respect and without any limitations as to further use. All authors participating in texts of Wikipedia know this or should at least know it.

The vice-versa procedure by now seems to have become “normal”. For years Google has been scanning books and published them in internet. Of course there are also protests, but then the rights for the material concerned are still with the author or the publishing house.

There is no discussion regarding digitalization of books – mostly old ones – which are free of rights.

Ugh... speaking of the Wikipedia page, I've been updating Edie's wikipage over the years, and every now and again I get new users deleting some of those posts. It really gets on my nerves.

I watched Modern Masters - Andy Warhol last night on BBC 1.
Not sure if it is available online but there is footage of Edie in the background a few times
Although she was not named at all

 

[boho_babe]

Here is the link Think she first shows after 30mins.

^It's only for viewing in the UK unfortunately. Is the footage of Edie in it new though??

 

[boho_babe]

I dont think so, its not terrible to miss it so dont worry
Just popped it on in case it was available and useful..

a video of andy warhol's exhibit in south america... there is a part that shows the edie screen test with her umbrella scarf on (although vaguely). i've never seen it before, it just sucks that all these people who do see edie films, don't appreciate them as much as we would, yet they get the chance to see these films. lol

 

[ScarlettLover]

^Thanks for the link! And I soo agree, I would die to see one of her films in real life. But I guess that's just the way it goes...

that´s interesting! thanks for the research!

 

[NatashaCarlyle]

Thank you so much for posting these pictures. Edie was absolutely stunning, and so charming too.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

I love Edie and all the photos posted here are a treat. I'd personally like to see more pictures of her during her Cambridge days, before she met Andy and the whirlwind that ensued. I love the parts in Stein's biography of Edie that cover that period, like when she stood on the restaurant table and sang "loads of lovely love" - I'd be thrilled to see a photo of that!!!

 

[Lupe]

just some stuff about when they were gonna make two edie films in the 80's.

Interview Magazine, August, 1985 (Molly Ringwald)

Elle, October, 1985 (Molly Ringwald)

Vogue, November, 1988 (Linda Fiorentino)

ugh Molly Ringwald as Edie would be laughable and was she really serious when she said they looked a bit alike, imo I don't see it all. I sorta agree with her opinion about Edie in Ciao Manhattan, I watched it online yesterday and felt sad to see her all strung out but then I remembered what she went through during the filming of it. According to one of her biographies there was a chapter that I read about the shock treatments she went through before she filmed it and during as well. In Jean Stein's book about Edie during 1969-70 when she returned to California she could barely speak at first. I feel in some way that the directors took advantage of her when she was not mentally well.
