Edie Sedgwick ConVersation w/ Andy Warhol

[@thatBRITTANYgirl]

I could listen to her lovely voice all day long. :)

[@x0xtran9x0x]

There was such a sincerity about her. She’s so in the moment

[@househeadericmdhousehead9118]

She's always living for herself and so high on dope.

[@Deelitee]

@@househeadericmdhousehead9118 well, do you mean any less than a person her age?? She seemed to be searching to me.

[@luckystarship2275]

I had no idea Edie was so assertive. In this conversation she's really challenging him on his film-making decisions. It sounds like she doesn't want to waste the following day at The Factory, whilst Warhol dithers about. She's really challenging him here, asking what, who and what time he's planning to film, trying to nail him down to an actual plan. She was clearly really bright, what a loss!

[@lucakat9262]

I agree totally. I would have loved to have seen what kind of career she may have had.😢

[@minskie]

I saw Sienna Miller's performance in Factory Girl. It is uncanny how Ms. Miller absolutely nailed Edie Sedgewick's voice. Listening to this you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

[@steevenhyde3505]

Sienna did a good job. It was just a terrible movie.

[@solobano570]

Why was it terrible? I thought it portrayed well Edie as an innocent and yet adventurous and troubled young woman in the narcissistic Warholian world. She suffered terribly, if that’s what you mean …

[@Properdrainage]

Her aura Her voice transcends time

[@cultureofrestraints]

"okay, I can get up at eight. I didn't say I couldn't." hahaha I love how they talk to each other.

Wow! Sienna Miller really aced the voice!

[@lepetitchat123]

She did an amazing job. What a pity the film was not well received when it was released. It's a good film, accurate or not.

[@bargainmom]

Edie had a beautiful voice, so husky, yet elegant.

[@henrybrant-z4l]

I used to walk my dog Mr. Duffy with Andy, my partner knew him through Le Cirque and he lived one block away. Quite a sweet guy and always so kind to Duffy. I was 19 and I suppose he was 50-something.

[@lydiarodgers]

"well we should say 11 then [...]" "but then that means you have to get up at 8" "ok i can get up at 8, i didn't say i couldn't" you tell him, edie

She deserved more than this! This man helped her shining like a diamond but ruined her life!

I agree. I don't think her 15 minutes were worth the fame but I think her issues were a lot deeper than him. He provided the stage for her fall.

[@MowgliX]

Happy birthday, dearest Edie. She was a truly brilliant person.

[@shadrach6299]

MowgliX I don't get the brilliant part

[@viviandarkbloom100]

That is comic. She was a spoiled little rich girl. She was famous without actually accomplishing anything. Just like Warhol.

[@Heartbeat214]

@@viviandarkbloom100 She was spoiled, yes, *but* remember that she was also destroyed by money and whatever traumas she went through as a child. People numb themselves for good reason. People fail at living a quality life for good reason. Mega-money, and the power that it brings, corrupts people/families.

[@brianwalsh1401]

@@Heartbeat214 The combination of wealth in her life plus the traumas that were intimated in the film and running across Warhol seemed to be her downfall. Her brothers also died by accident and suicide. She had her 15 minutes of fame though.

[@vibroscope]

Odd to hear Andy actually engaging with someone.

Here I am in 2017 watching this. I find them both interesting....the art, the lifestyle, the ongoing controversy that surrounds them both. And this was so long ago! Which speaks to the huge impact his art will always have. Whether you love or hate his art, it will always matter and keep them BOTH relevent.

This is a wonderful add....great convo of Edie and Andy, sound quality is good too. Thanks Miapink!! :-)

[@adrianalucia9387]

They were so fabulous. I wish I could have known Andy

[@KayInMaine]

I'm with ya on that one. i can't believe some of the comments here. Warhol influenced so many people's careers! Edie, unfortunately, had a drug problem that she couldn't overcome. Not Warhol's fault.

[@internettrowel6930]

I might be completely wrong, and I'm sure someone will tell me why, but I kinda regard Warhol as a self promoting artistic vampire who made a living by being associated with others who were more talented or unique. Not to say he wasn't talented, that soup can was spot on.

[@Deelitee]

I have had the same sentiments about him.

[@rachelyoung7261]

Artist surrounded himself with beauty he never physically possess

[@NenaMataHari]

Did he start the reality tv?

[@milascave2]

renee: Yes. He was the first that I know of whose movies were just "let people be themselves and film it." Of course, there was a big gap between the last of those kinds of films and the start of reality TV. But I'm pretty sure that the folks who made things like MTV's "The real world" had watched some Warhol films.

[@skrski3664]

no one will ever really know what it was like damn

[@poorlittlerichiegirl]

love this great to hear it!! thank you for making this

[@gsmarin1]

Any individual opinion of Warhol to me seems irrelevant as his influence and complete understanding of American narcissism and disposable culture has proven to be deadly accurate. He understood celebrity, fame, and the insatiable desire and neediness of vacuous types like the Khardashians and the dupes that worship them. He mastered the concept that "the medium is the message" along with McLuhan. What this clip shows is that he even predicted internet Cam-Culture....

[@Horseluvver]

💥

[@kitrichardson5573]

I don’t think he was against it he celebrated it. Everybody being famous means nobody’s famous. He commented that the wonderful thing about Coca-Cola and Campbell Soup was that the bum on the street could consume them where the president could consume them then they got the same can.

I think she may be more dominant and maybe impatient with him but when it comes to intelligence I think the overall picture needs to be considered. Regardless, dominance is not intelligence. Dissention is not intelligence.

[@Ownviainternet]

She has a face that's unforgetable and very unique, I've never seen a beautiful girl with exactly her look and style. One of a kind

[@martigrant3707]

Excellent. Real life at it's best and most interesting. Unscripted conversations that happened in real life between two of the most famous people of all time. My favorite part of the video is when you can hear the actual Factory phone ringing in the background while Edie and Andy are talking. So glad someone recorded these real-life conversations between these 2 most important people because they would have been gone forever the second after they happened never to be heard again.

[@SteffiCalifornia]

I love when Ondine says "Fabulous" the way he does. Ha, and then Edie goes, "Before anybody picks on us, we better hurry." :D

[@augmentedkeys5971]

"Could I have some gravy?" "... Some gravy on my noodles."

[@mbejvb]

Edie sounds like having such great confidence in herself....why did she let it slip away??

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

Her past caught up with her and when Andy rejected her she fell into drugs. At least as depicted in Factory Girl.

[@Deelitee]

I think she was so vulnerable and unfortunately predators seemed to sniff that out and use her for self interests at her expense. Makes me upset with Dylan, of whom I’ve been a fan for years.

[@kirstenrheaa]

Sienna Miller and Guy Pearce totally have their voices down pat! :DDD

[@c.brookes4116]

[@passiveMenis]

Good God Edie's voice is so nice

[@ZnenTitan]

I will forever be obsessed with Edie. She just wanted to be loved and everyone used her kindness and took advantage of her vulnerability. It's so sad, but I believe she is an angel. Sienna Miller was absolutely incredible as Edie.

[@missdee4927]

It sounds to like she wants to be rather generous to the other people rather than hog the scene for herself, but Warhol was all about her. Also, I love her speaking voice.

[@lucakat9262]

Well, he said that there was only one girl he ever truly loved and many believe he was talking about Edie.

[@DistortedMedia08]

This is awesome, thanks for the upload.

[@reeseslightning11]

andy got a little attitude from edie there for a second lol. and that gravy thing was cute lol

[@mistabook]

What I'm getting from this is that Edie's artistic sensibilities were considerably sharper than Andy's. Also, she was a far better person.

[@evesolis6133]

absolutely not. That conclusion is from one of those people who can't tell what makes a femme fatale. She is good at reading other's thoughts and put them in a assertive and attractive way as a socialite's habit. While artists are way awkward and hard to get their idea through. She has a great sense too, but not of the artistic realm.

[@briteness]

Nope. Edie would not be remembered today were it not for her presence in Andy's Factory scene. And for all his talk about "superstars", Warhol was the only real star in that firmament. He also worked, hard, while Edie was little more than a socialite wastrel who lived off her family's money and died of an overdose while still in her 20s. She was an interesting character, for sure, but not on the level of Warhol.

[@shawna2529]

Andy didn't work hard. He had other people do the work for him

[@briteness]

anwahs Sure, he used other people, but he did work hard too.

[@rubydawn1]

Warhol was creepy had no personality he used people and when they where no longer fashionable he changed them in.

[@evq2u]

Reality movies before reality tv

[@unfortunatebeam]

Warhol seemed happiest with Edie. I don't know why everyone says he threw her away, ever consider if it was more the opposite? One day she was just gone and Andy was the one left saddened and alone by it.

[@kenthegreyadams]

I agree. When he didn't deliver the fame and money she was hoping for, she left him for Dylan and drugs... Both of which left her in an even sadder state. He seemed to have had a broken heart and a permanent change in character after she left.

[@srslee5966]

he also said she was closest to love he ever felt

[@Bobjb999]

In 2011 interviews,Robbie Robertson said that after The Band joined Dylan in '65,he lived at the Chelsea Hotel while in NYC the same time Edie lived there.She liked hanging out in Robbie's room.He said Warhol would come 'round looking for Edie,& if she wasn't in her room, the desk would try Robbie's.She'd often want to avoid Warhol, & would tell Robbie to say she wasn't there.Robbie's '11 song "When the Night was Young" refers to this, naming Warhol & referring to Edie as "the late night muse".

[@laurahenry1340]

Hermesacat I wonder why she tried to avoid him

[@elizabethfaraone]

They do have similar voices, even though Sienna has a British accent. And in real life, Sienna has the same sweetness as Edie. Sienna is a very hard worker and very intelligent and compassionate. I think that's why she pulled off the role so perfectly. I think Factory Girl was her best movie.

[@Properdrainage]

The world was beautiful with Edie in it

[@metronomejack]

It's magical! I am a French fan of Andy Warhol, I sing his life and his death. Warhol's Word!

Some one asked Why does the West see this as beauty and called her a skinny little girl with black make up? 1. We want to sleep with her. 2. She's not a dumb blond (nor am I) aqnd we want to sleep with her. 3. three, she's beautiful and we want to sleep with her 4. even though she rich we want to sleep with her. 5 she's our friend

This is true, on an emotional level. He could obviously be very distance and cold sometimes and she would just pour her heart out.

[@poppycakes6805]

[@sbbbjm]

i've been reviewing the different works of Andy's different superstars and Factory Girl was my first exposure to Edie (before i even was looking into all of that). as mixed as the movie's reviews are, i have to say Sienna did a really good job of mimicking Edie's vintage NE aristocratic accent and aura in general, just from listening to these tapes, seriously.

[@Deathfromabove5]

The only reason 90% of the people are in these comments is you think she's cute. If Edie was a normal looking girl none of you would give a damn about her

[@OrangeTabbyCat]

A 5 1/2 hour film of a man sleeping? So Warhol basically invented Big Brother?

[@mistabook]

"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." - Andy Warhol

[@jaygriffiths6793]

Do you mean TV's Big Brother, as a opposed to George Orwell's? I think Warhol did see real people bumbling about as more interesting than scripted drama. He didn't quite take it to BB, but I'm sure that's what he was on to.

[@milascave2]

Orenge: The story of Andy Warhol's "Sleep" is evan weirder than it seems. He intended to film poet John Giorno sleeping for eight hours. But his camera would only film for two minutes at a time before needing to be reloaded for two minutes. So in the end, he got four hours of films. So he slowed it to half speed to make it seem like eight hours. So people were spending eight hours watching a stop-gap film of a guy sleeping in slow motion. A friend of mine who saw it said that the fly buzzing around the camera became the most interesting thing in the movie, the real star of it.

[@SteffiCalifornia]

Ah, that was fantastic!!! I had seen another video with the same conversation but it was very fuzzy and the slide show didn't have the same appeal this one does. Her voice is amazing, like mine when I'm "mellow". ;) Good God Bri, keep up the good work, I just can't get enough!

[@texas1949]

[@LoveBeliefTruth]
