Edie Sedgwick #2

[Lupe]

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.

i like the idea of molly ringwald as Edie. I can accept that more than Sienna Miller.

Haha i agree! Thank you so much for posting those articles! The Jean Stein book was so popular it's not suprising several people wanted to make an Edie movie.

i don't think they look that much alike either

Yeah I've never thought they looked much alike, but they both had something child like in their character...MM sounded like a 4 year old girl IMO

How about Keira Knightley ? Do you think she could have played Edie ? I thought of Edie when I saw her in Domino.

 

[farou7a]

^ no way!

keira over does everything. i think she RUINED the role of elizabeth bennet in pride and prejudice too! the BBC version was SO much better.

I think sierra did a great job playing edie. she actually LOOKED like edie too.

Hi all! Just popping in to confirm that David Weisman is still working on "Girl On Fire", his documentary for Edie, but it's slow going. With the downturn in the global economy and massive changes in the film industry, making an art film is not as easy as it once was...

I happened upon these great pictures a while ago. I forget the name of the photographer, only that he has a Latin sounding name - but someone kindly posted these pictures at a livejournal fansite for Edie.

Yes, how about no more comparisons! I've been on this thread for YEARSSSSS and it's always a hot topic!

Liberty Bell! Nice to see you here again!
There are a lot of photos you've posted that I haven't seen here (or probably missed).

I think that celebrities, and other people. should stop dressing up as her too. I go to google images or flickr, and i always find embarrassing photos of people trying to immulate Edie.

This might be a repost, but I wasn't familiar with it. Came across the photo while I was trolling twitter, with nothing better to do!
