Edie Sedgwick #2

[loonaka]

I downloaded the 27 minute "Girl on Fire," but it's in FLV format. So you might want to download a FLV player.

here's the link to download it. http://www.zshare.net/video/7962508907d7a2a0/

I'm a little bit confused right now, is this Girl on Fire video coming out on DVD, is it more than 27 min? It's been so long since I've had an update on all these doc and what not being made about Edie and I have to say that I thought most of them would never come out since it took for ever..

I just watched Andy Warhol's Factory ppl, it was pretty good, but the quality wasn't fantastic

Haha! When i read that i thought it was some sophisticated phrase i didn't understand.

 

[misspistol]

Not sure if this has been bought up before, the second chapter in The Philosophy Of Andy Warhol is about Edie, yes?

 

[PinkGoddess]

^Yes, though it may be a composite of more because "Taxi" is described as going away to live in Hawaii at the end of her life, which is actually what happened to Susan Bottomly (aka "International Velvet"). I think Andy just added that so it would be less obvious that it's about Edie. Andy tried to disconnect himself from her later on in his life by claiming they were never that close.

Has anyone heard anything about this documentary called The Real Edie?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1080981/

 

[loonaka]

Is it the interviews that were at the end of Factory girl or something?

 

[PinkGoddess]

That's what I thought, but according to IMDb it runs for about half an hour.

 

[loonaka]

I can't remember how long that interview part was on the FG DVD tho

 

[babydoll1125]

I think there were full interviews on the special features but i can't remember.

 

[PinkGoddess]

I didn't know about that, I will definitely have to check out the DVD! There were also some rare photos in the interviews at the end of the film that I haven't seen anywhere else.

Hey Guys,
I looked through all my pics of Edie and even googled, but I can't find a closeup, or at least a photo where her palm is showing. I am curious about the famous short life line story. I don't personally believe in this kind of thing, but I am very curious to see her palm. Anyone has a closeup, or any pic where something can be made out? Thanks in advance

I've wondered that exact same thing! I've looked through some pics but I've never been able to find one where her palms are visible. And with the high contrast used in most of her photos, I doubt we'd be able to get a clear image of her palm lines even if we did.

 

[babydoll1125]

The story her brother told in the Jean Stein book just said that someone looked at her palm and looked concerned and Edie said "I know." I don't know where it said that it was because her lifeline was short but i read that everywhere. Can someone look in the book and see exactly what it says?

I think this is the best picture of her palm but you can't really see anything.

 

[loonaka]

Yeah the whole lifeline story is mostly in the movie Factory Girl.
