I’m glad she spoke about her life. Her parents were a massive challenge for her, arguably a choice she made before incarnating. She tried to overcome their programming. Coping mechanisms can be very deceiving, and her choices were rather self-destructive. I can’t help but feel great love for this precious lady.

[@CarmenZynger]

When you're that young, and traumatized from such a young age, making bad decisions and continually almost killing yourself doesn't even make a speed bump to stop you in your addiction. Edie was just not fully developed in that frontal lobe. She was like a small child making adult decisions, but very bad decisions. Killing herself on and on. She had no fear of death. I feel for her, as I feel for all children of abuse that never had a chance. I wish she had made it to her thirties and turned around her life. It just didn't happen. She was too damaged, frail, lost surrounding herself with people who didn't care. God bless her beautiful soul.

Her sister, Alice Sedgwick, recently wrote a book about the crazy Sedgwick family and the year Edie spent with Andy Warhol. And in the book she talks about how Jean Stein interviewed everybody she could find for "Edie." Turns out the Plimpton's knew the Sedgwicks.

[@briteness]

Andy often asked other people what he should do next, and he used some of the best ideas, but the recording of Edie and Andy talking is still notable. In most clips I have seen with Andy surrounded by his courtiers, Andy is clearly in charge. If they speak, it is because he has asked them to speak. Edie here talks to him as a collaborator, an equal.

We will never forget you, our dear angel Edie, and we will forever love you...

[@amp279]

As she narrates her life, i can hear the heroin croak in her voice. A vivacious woman people should have cared more about, to see only her surface beauty undermines the fact there was a real person inside, with hopes & dreams & a need to find genuine love, all buried beneath pain so profound, she couldn't sustain life long enough to overcome nor rise above it. Some folks will dismiss her as a mere junkie but she was so much more.

[@taraalan1131]

She was a talented artist..

[@rhodayackez9570]

She had mental illness, which everyone forgets. That alone causes huge amounts of emotional pain.

[@Hi-qe9gt]

While she did use heroin for brief a time she was MAINLY addicted to pills speed and alcohol. The short acting barbiturates and other sedative hypnotics that were ubiquitous in those days were more potent than the heroin was. Nearly all of these drugs are virtually non existent today because of how narrow the therapeutic window was in terms of od’ing. The croak in her voice is most likely attributed to her heavy cigarette habit that consisted of multiple packs a day, because of this she was ill with a chronic cough & lung issues towards the end of her life.

[@jussitikkuri6991]

@@Hi-qe9gt Please don't minimalize her or anybody's drug usage. It's wrong to do. Just prior to reading your comment I looked up on Google to see what drugs she took. It said Amphetamines & Heroin were her favorite drugs when taken together they are called a "speedball" . Speedballs are traditionally with Cocaine and Heroin. Either way they are very dangerous and deadly. Many of our more famous rock stars and comedians and actors have slipped away from us via the "common but deadly speedball" It's so sad and unnecessary for that to happen like it does. All the money the big users have plus monies that could & should come from friends and families ... every effort should be made to help save the user from an almost certain overdose or a quick death. To have an intervention and if need be to have the user declared "a danger to themselves or others" aka a "5150" in the state of California to have a person involuntarily held for the welfare for of their life. And do it over & over to try and save the person. I deem it necessary to try and save any addicts life. To minimize or make excuses for the person addicted to drugs and/or alcohol use is a very destructive thing . It's basically a nod in the direction of the soul standing on the railroad tracks with a needle in their arm to not worry and everything is going to be just fine... while everybody knows it's not going to be ok, and are just waiting for the phone call for you to come and identify the soul less , life less , empty body of a beloved friend or relative that is gone forever. They need our help. They are screaming to us on their insides to help them, and like it or not we are failing them time after time.

[@katrinaolsen2444]

@@Hi-qe9gt Yes, her main addiction was to amphetamines and Barbiturates that aren’t even prescribed anymore. So many famous people died of Barbiturate ODs. Edie was definitely killed by the dosage of barbiturates she was prescribed and because she had drunk alcohol that night. Her husband could tell her breathing wasn’t right but he thought it was because she smoked so many cigarettes. A horrible was to die. She was literally suffocated by barbiturates and alcohol.

We just thought everything would keep going on like that and the only way to deal with it was to be high. She was taking extraordinary amounts of drugs. I took two Tuinols once and got blasted and she said she took 35 in one day. And triple doses of pure Sandoz acid was way too much. No wonder she was petrified of the world, plus whatever they gave her when she was in the nuthouse. A lot of people died along the way.

I really appreciate this video, I don't mean uploading it, for which I'm thankful, too, but the fact that it's been made... Edie Sedgwick -- I'm certainly not an art historian to place her anywhere, not an art historian at all -- was a shining artist, and most of her phenomenon seemed to have just perished.... and before Factory Girl, only fragments seemed to have remained, photos, stories, honorable and not so honorable mentions... scattered... and what seemed to be her image was but a face... like that of a legend who had once existed, if at all... this video, however, a beautiful edit of her existing interviews, audio recordings of her talking, of her thoughts in real time of the recordings, creates something like a core of which we can think of whenever thinking of her phenomenon.... this is something "hard", like hard evidence -- as opposed to a fragile, ephemeral, airy legend... which she normally appears to have been... now she speaks for herself... illustrated with pictures, film takes, and even an extremely unique pioneer video shot of her... as she talks about a film to be made using that very video equipment recording her at that moment... she speaks of that future project as an artist of her and A.W.'s own future work... directed by A.W. (It is, by the way, another amazing conceptual work of art by him) even after Factory Girl, which is a good film in my opinion/experience, this video really adds something solid, something super-tangible to our notion of Edie Sedgwick (sorry for the length)

So many people want to blame Warhol, and he played his part, but she was sexually abused by her father, had two beloved brothers commit suicide, was anorexic, spent time in a mental hospital, got electroshock therapy, was given addictive drugs by doctors ... she must have been in such pain having had so much trauma in her young life.

it's sad to read that her sister Alice (I think that's her name) paints Edie in a negative light, does she want to make money out of her sister's tragedy? Because it seems so. She already moved away from home when their father's mental state got worse, and since Edie was a lot younger than Alice she probably had a lot harder time growing up.

He found her writings grotesque of nature due to the fact that it was the complete opposite of what andy promoted. Andy did not promote hatred especially against his own sex - solanas did - and for you to think otherwise is illogical and slanderous of all the great creations of warhol. Andy first started creating and promoting his art when still living with his mother who encouraged him greatly.

Poor sacrificial lamb of the gay scene😢

[@zerofriends5592]

New fan here. I heard her name for the first time this year by someone i admire. I was curious to see why my friend admired this person so much...now i see. She was definitely interesting, but i feel i'm still missing something. I watched poor little rich girl the other night. Now it's onward to Beauty and factory girl?

Get the book Edie, by Jean Stein. It is a good, fast read. I got it as a gift in 1983 and it is almost shredded from reading over and over.

[@eugenebrodeur3798]

I love Edie. But even if she got to Hollywood, she still would have gone down the tubes like Marilyn Monroe.

[@abrahammangion7601]

And yes she does remind me allot of Norma Jean, another lost and beautiful soul... ☆♤♡◇♧

cant live a continuosly faboulous life, you need to to shadow work and find the light in the end

I think a modern Alice in Wonderland would be great.... Actually come to think of it.... She was a modern Alice in Wonderland.❤

I saw this film for the first time when I was 18 or 20 years old and I had a book about Edie "Girl on Fire". I don't know why but in some way I want to know about her more and more. She very inspiring me and I can't know why. And it will be great if somebody could help me find the music from this movie. Not David Bowie and Rolling Stones, but this deep and atmosphere composition what starts in 3:06?

Tormented tragic lost lonely sad :(

Do a deep dive on this whole era of Andy, the Factory and all the people involved and you will come up to the same conclusion as I have....IT WAS ALL DRUGS! Don't glamorize or idolize these people, folks, they were all drug addicts to some degree or another. That's all they were. If they did have talent it was never realized.

[@bubblegum6715]

If they were all on speed. No wonder they were all talkative !!

[@islesofshoals3551]

And skinny

[@jenns.5791]

beautiful Edie...💔

[@louisadrill7060]

the original influencer. way hotter than most. creative. intelligent. no comparison.

[@jean-francoisbrunet2031]

It always mystifies me how beauty, and more generally charm goes a long way. She was most likely a nitwit, star-gazed, trying to "make it" in the most vulgar and banal way (dancing, prancing around for the camera, modelling, flirting with the rich and famous) and yet, just because her physique and demeanour were so endearing, many people see her as "an angel", a "beautiful soul", or a sort of genious, maybe an artist even, in other words project on her all kinds of moral or intellectual qualities.

[@rachaelclarke9951]

I agree

[@miraeja]

Unpopular opinion for the ones who mythologize and romanticize her but it’s true and a harsh reality

[@stefs7141]

Rose coloured glasses. She was kind of a dummy but people will project these angelic qualities on someone just because they find them attractive. Even though it's been proven time and time again the two are not synonymous and this is why the influencer thing still continues to this day .

está dama: un caso especial de lo cultura pop, confluencia del consumismo exacerbado, intoxicaciones, dieta exagerada ( merengada de chocolate y camarones) y solo vivir en juventud, es un icono del pop!

[@Broatch6]

♥️ her impish charm

[@fashionistalagerfeld1954]

Hi Robert !!! Love this ! Thank u !

[@Joe-wo7rg]

Edie was such a gorgeous woman.

[@raimywinter2309]

I love her

[@chiquitafeldberg8512]

Andy was doing his films for art, edi was taking it too seriously. Andy did everything for art.

[@lilmissrockchick4962]

I would watch Edie as Alice in Wonderland, with Andy Warhol as the Mad Hatter, Gerard Malanga as the White Rabbit and Nico as the Red Queen maybe with the Velvet Underground as her guards!

[@seaturtlegrl]

My goodness if you close your eyes it sounds exactly like lady Gaga. Same exact voice and inflections.

[@gemolibre]

Poor little rich girl, horrible end. Terrible childhood, insane father, alcohol, drugs, bad friends, a broken life.

[@voxxclamantis9668]

It just makes me sad, It seems to me she is a victim of the situation she was put into with her family, then with her scene and then in herself. She needed healthy support and psyic doesn't do that either, many young people today have the same problems, the society is sick and creates these tragic figures.
