Edie Sedgwick #2

That description could be a lot of people. I think Edie was much more.

I can see the correlations; however, where Daphne tends to be shy, even, in some ways, reclusive, Edie tended to be extroverted, alive most when around others. Also, Edie was an artist, while Daphne seems to be more of a curator/editor/collector. Finally, I think each of their families were quite different. Edie grew up in California, on ranchlands, for the most part. Daphne, no where near that. They come from such utterly different eras too, Edie died just a few years after Daphne was born. But both did attach themselves to powerful men in the cultural realm (fashion, art, music, etc) and both are fashion divas of the first order, happily blazing their own trails.

I just came across this on wikidpedia.. "She met Lance Loud, the young gay man depicted in the PBS series An American Family, on the beach at the foot of El Embarcadero. Loud, already a correspondent of Warhol's, was ogling fraternity boys playing volleyball when he saw Sedgwick walking her dog and recognized her."

Edie had a dog??

In the Edie book it says she was running on the beach with two German Shepherds when she met him. I think that was when she was living in a rehab facility so the dogs may have lived there.

In the Edie book it also says that the woman who accused Edie of being a heroin user the night before her death pointed to 'needle holes' that were actually cat scratches. So I guess Edie and Michael at least had a cat?

I was making a mental list of Edie inspired songs- so far I have Dylan's Just Like a Woman, Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat, Like A Rolling Stone and a chunk of Visions of Johannah; plus Velvet Underground's Femme Fatale...Any more out there?

Does anyone know who these women might be?

I'm not sure but i think Edie's brother Jonathan was the only one who participated in Factory Girl. So my guess would be that's his wife and daughter.

Here are some other songs...

Deep Trivia: Anyone know where the 'manhole' pictures were taken in NY? I can't figure it out....

This link came up with a bit of googling. It looks the same. Hope this helps you, Boomer! http://vassifer.blogs.com/alexinnyc/2011/01/andy-edies-manhole.html

I've always wondered about it myself but never went ahead and actually tried looking. So finding this was rewarding to me also.

And becuase I can't embed Google Streetview here's a link:

Thanks so much!! I spent most of my youth around there so I was betting it was way on the East Side (only a few blocks from the Silver Factory, in fact...) and Sutton Place is pretty much a non-thoroughfare (as in: the filthy rich live there and you don't really go over there unless you have a reason..) so the lack of traffic makes sense...Plus- the Upper East Side was Edie's home turf, so...Thanks again!!

 

[anina]

Thank you for that additional info on the neighbourhood! Fascinating stuff!
