Edie Sedgwick #2

[LUXXX]

Seriously, if they ever do another movie on her life - whoever is casting needs to give a very close look to Nora Zehetner...I was watching an old episode of Heroes last night and when she was on screen, I was shocked at how much they look alike!

this girl reminds me of natalie wood hahah, just a bit though. but i think with the right make-up and the the right styling, she'd be a great edie too!

I think the photo in the book might be a production still or something. The series isn't on dvd unfortunately, I was given it to review for work then remembered a lot of references to it in Edie's book.

The episode was a fashion show right? Do you remember seeing that? In the book it says Edie was interviewed but i don't think it was for the show.

I'm guessing that the footage was never used because there wasn't even a fashion show in any of the episodes I watched.

Is that a real pic? I mean, Warhol, Edie, and, aren't they Catherine Deneuve and Zouzou?

^ Yep it is! They were in Paris at that time, so it's highly possible!

EDITH SEDGWICK, right, twenty-two, white haired and anthracite black eyes, and legs to swoon over who stars in Andy Warhol's underground movies. "It's like watching Henry Moore sculpture out of focus.", said Edith Sedgwick, who toyed with the movie name Mazda Isphahan for Poor Little Rich Girl. With the pop artist Andy Warhol on camera, undergrounds roll out like crepes: Vinyl is in the can; Vacuum about to turn. "When we find a pure white kitchen." Rich Girl was made in Miss Sedgwick's apartment where she is shown here arabesquing on her leather rhino to a record of The Kinks. (In the background, her sketch of a stallion.) In Paris, Warhol's gang startled the dancers at Chez Castel by appearing with fifteen rabbits and Edie Sedgwick in black leotard and a white mink coat. In her deep, campy voice, strained through smoke and Boston, she said: "It's all I have to wear.

So I finally watched "Factory Girl"; I'd resisted for a long time but decided I'd better watch it since I am teaching a biography course, including EDIE, and I thought students might watch the film.

Lots of inaccuracies or artistic license, whatever you want to call it. I mean, who is the "Sid" character? I couldn't figure it out, but Edie begins and ends the film with that character so he must be based on someone. Ed Hennessy? Bob Neuwirth?

The film doesn't even mention Paul America or "Ciao Manhattan"!! Nor does it deal with her life much after Andy, except the affair with Bob Dylan, which I thought they amped up a lot based on how much/little it's mentioned in EDIE.
I guess, given the title of the film, they wanted to focus just on the factory years. But that dinner between Edie, Andy and Edie's parents? That didn't happen, all 4 of them. And they made Edie's mum seem different, more cool/hip than she comes off in the book, I thought.

Sienna kind of grew on me in the role; I mean she certainly wasn't horrible as Edie, and you can see she really put her heart into that role, for which I admire her. But I thought Edie's ephemerality and vulnerability weren't as clear as they might've been at times. Sienna seemed too strong on the whole.

Oh well, I've watched it; "Girl on Fire" is next. And re-reading the book for the nth time.

There is a very snide reference to Ciao! Manhattan in the scene where Edie is strung out on drugs in bed, takes a sip from the same bottle of vodka as in Ciao! Manhattan, and utters the line "I hate this sh*t!" before the leeches who were stealing from her say "Ciao!" and leave. Apparently there is a huge ongoing feud between the makers of Ciao! (who contributed to the Girl On Fire book) and the people who contributed to the Factory Girl film as well as the Factory Girl book on Edie. But the main reason for its lack of inclusion would be as you said, that the film focuses on Edie in her prime.
