Rise and Fall of Edie Sedgwick

This is a timeline of pictures of Edie Sedgwicks life and her downward spiral through drug addiction and ultimately her death....music featured is Edie - The Cult, Pale Blue Eyes - The Velvet Underground, - How to fight loneliness - Wilco.....please comment and LIKE.......I DO NOT OWN ANY COPYRIGHT TO THE SONGS,

[@lorrainetauson131]

Thank you very much indeed for these lovely pictures of Edie. I have never seen these ones before. She was lovely when she got married and had gorgeous big brown eyes. Most photos of her with Andy were in black and white so I did not know what color her eyes where before hand. She was even more beautiful without any makeup of any kind on. I wish I could have befriended her in real life. She just needed lots of love and lots of guidance to help her stay clean from drugs. Granted drug use is hell to stay off of but I have been there myself with proper prescription medication that my doctors help me stay safe on. I had to be withdrawn on opiates and man I was sick. The doctor and nurses told me I was detoxing like a drug addict would! So, I can appreciate where she may have been coming from plus a whole bunch of other things I could relate personally to her. Such a shame because, I think she was a beautiful spirit really. May Edie rest in peace.

[@kimhayes3828]

Great completion of photos. Thank you 🌹

[@michaelcas2524]

come on man, evanesence? no velvets or dylan or virtually any band connected to NYC in the 60s

[@babydoll9356]

That's what I was thinking lol

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Yea even better than The Cult but Evanescence? Doesn't work for Edie? 👍 for the photos and for Edie,, and for the choice of song👎!! RIP Precious Girl,,,

[@ghostgirl3830]

"Where do you go to my lovely" would have been better.

[@willtrib]

just dmn ...

[@craigg5410]

Exactly what I thought. Had to mute it.

[@whitelight2507]

Thanks for the posting the pictures of Edie... So beautiful, so rich and so deeply damaged.

[@bunnyhead71]

Great collection of photos here, many really rare as well. I'll be honest, I have been a researcher of her for years, You really should rework this and change the backing music. I just removed the track you had under it and replaced it with a few different tracks that reflected the time and people she was involved with-Well done. Just bad music choices.

[@genjobee]

I’m curious to know where these pictures came from. It’s almost as if these were a private collection.

[@poppybell8217]

Hello out there in TV land. Are you still “researching” her? And,...do you believe in reincarnation?

[@karenjadlowski4317]

I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF EDIE EVER SINCE THE BOOK CAME OUT THANK YOU FOR POSTING SHE SURE WAS ONE OF A KIND

[@johnsradios484]

Thanks for posting, don't pay attention to the negative comments .

[@tiffanyroseangeles7517]

Best shots are the ones that are rare enough to see this beauty smile! Lovely video & fab pics!!

[@StrayCatBlues666]

I can't even watch this because of how the song sucks

[@10minuteESL]

The song that youtube allowed you to use is actually pretty spot on. The singer is asking to be woken up and brought to life by the love of another person. Seems very much what Edie was probably looking for herself.

[@jameszamudio7178]

never get tired of watching this and Edie.

[@hcombs0104]

If you turn the sound down, it's OK. Anyway, there's a real timelessness to some of her photos, she could have been lifted from 2017 and placed into 1965...I needed to remind myself many of them were taken 52 years ago.

[@snookyookyooky]

It's a beautiful video even without the music. Thanks.

[@paulcheeseman9307]

I would say your choice of music shows how little you understand this piece of the 60s....

[@mtaylor7307]

Maybe the music was for the creator's own benefit?

[@Woostie64]

What a beautiful memoir. RIP Edie

[@cofasman]

@olelukoiesfriend I agree, I origianlly had "Edie'' by the cult, 'Pale Blue Eyes" The Velvet Underground, and "How to Fight Loniliness" by Wilco but youtube wouldn't play those songs due to copyright so they picked a song that doesnt even last the entire video....if you know how i can get youtube to play those songs..PLEASE let me know

[@TheOnlyElle.]

It's 8 year's on, I'm certain You can find some other music..even something "light classical" would be a far better option. You've done a great job on the video, it's just the music that's awful Thank's

[@annawoolverton-hiatt5206]

yeah, the music is making it intolerable.

[@3BoomtownKat]

cofasman has done a great justice to the memory of Edie. What does the music matter when you are viewing the icon of the sixties. Instead of being critiical of this upload, you should embrace the fact that you couldn't have done any better,,, Well done cofasman!!!!

[@cofasman]

@backahjack Thanks alot for the back up....i originally had different music but youtube won't let me play them and i don't know how to make it work....sorry about that

[@cofasman]

@MowgliX Well, instead of telling me its the wrong music, cuz if you read the other comments, we've been discussing this, then tell me how to get youtube to allow the original music choice to be played

[@Gallierification]

Wretched song choice

[@florrie8767]

In some pics she looks like a young keira knightly when she had short.hair

[@kelhimacmillan3514]

"Bring me to life!"? No one was more alive than Edie, she was so much more than Andy Warhol's "SUPERSTAR"! I think Edie was way ahead of her time, leaving her feeling alone & often misunderstood, that's probably why she connected so well with Andy. R.I.P Edie, a very unique and beautiful young woman.

[@blindterrytucci2752]

So, being one of the most gorgeous women ever and ending your life pretty much the same but with with longer, darker hair is a "rise and fall"? It's terrible that, and a goddamn shame, she died as young as she did but this video doesn't show anything other than how incredibly attractive she was.

[@num1Jaysta]

That she was, but I think it's kinda hard to show her drug use, cause it clearly didn't affect her looks.

[@seancurran6727]

Speed is insidious. it makes you skinnier, so you maintain the "beauty" longer. It did affect her looks in the end, she added alcohol, as did Judy Garland after speed.

[@mtaylor7307]

Warhol used everyone. Few used him as successfully.

[@ilanamillion8942]

It's hard to believe Edie would be 77 years old now (in 2020).

[@angelamatlock1932]

so sad about Edie..andy used her up and throw her away

[@mtaylor7307]

Warhol did that with everyone. Some just managed to carve a ledge better.

[@firemachima]

i hate the font and the colour of the font but thank you for the photos !!

[@jorgeespinosa3179]

Silence would have been better.

[@rickwalker6400]

I've never seen some of these pictures but the video suggests that drugs and alcohol destroyed her looks. But when you look at them from start to finish shes just as young and beautiful looking as if she'd never abused her body at all.

[@ckotcher1]

WOW does she look different at the end of her life and you know what? Its strange because she looks so much BETTER!!! TAN skin, instead of pale. Long dark hair..natural beauty....not so stick thin, she looked great....why did she die?????

[@grooviefan]

overdose...

[@lonerose99]

Combination of perscription barbiturates and drinking. Accidental death/suicide said the doctor. She wasn't even using the hard drugs anymore.

[@ghostgirl3830]

Warhol used her, then threw her away, if she had landed a big modeling contract and gotten clean, he would have been running after her, he was a huge leech and others saw threw him, she didn't, too trusting.

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

That is an interesting commentary. The book "Edie" portrayed the relationship between Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick in terms of he used her. Reading "The Andy Warhol Diaries" gives a different spin, where Andy Warhol (who apparently was not formally interviewed for the book "Edie") is one of Edie's stops on her way through the life she created when she went to New York. Her time with the Warhol crowd seemed to be maybe a year, tops.

[@TheOnlyElle.]

Agreed!!

[@xpez]

play something unknown from that era that evokes a sense of bewilderment and empathy.

[@oblomurg]

That shot of Edie with Kevin McCarthy is worth a million bucks. I wonder if Monty ever hung out with this crowd.

[@OmahaRiverDonkey]

Edie Sedgwick, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison...all born in 1943, all died in 1970 or 1971.

[@talldarkmann]

Trash music...Edie deserves better!!

[@ckotcher1]

Thank you....That is a shame :( Btw what is "serum sickness"????

[@sevenheathen5545]

Omg Edie's shoulders😫

[@gloriahufnagel5556]

SERIOUSLY..THE MUSIC....DUUUUUDE..

[@zeetty]

She was Twiggy before Twiggy, before drugs took her life. Music by Effervescent

[@sarahwelty9223]

The background music spoils this video

[@evakaneva87]

Yes.. you can tell she had started to take drug all over again... I couldn`t explain to myself her choice for a husband if not for drugs! Who would of marry for that freak, for god sakes! He had to keep her drugged all the time to marry her and not to die like a virgin.

[@PODMTHC]

Everyone gangsta till a evanescence song comes up on a youtube video

[@biljanamilanovic1682]

Che peccato! Era bellissima ragazza! E' quante persone cosi' perdono la vita giovanissimi per droga! Triste, molto triste!

[@StrayCatBlues666]

Very much agreed horrible horrible song choice. Maybe use a more relevant song?

[@kendallevans4079]

" I'll be your mirror" ANY version would have been better

[@amphitryon23]

I don't find this song that bad - sorry, does anyone know hów it's called? Thanks

[@phylanenorman]

The music is "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence.

[@kevinmccann8122]

Why is this song associated with every celebrity flashback that's out on KZbin?

[@janeadelaidelennox7193]

And what's with all the commentary? Couldn't you have at least found a writer? Like, a good one? I'll give you one thing. The images are wonderful. To your credit, you DID manage to collect them. And that's something.

[@beefheart1410]

Money can't buy you love.

[@esaloops]

terrible song for this

[@petejones879]

I'm am so in love with this girl despite her being dead

[@cadge]

Yes, crap music!

[@dd.t.4227]

I think that was her in the beginning. These photos are not in chronological order.

[@thaismatsumoto]

Actually, they are. She had long brunette hair before her Factory days and also at the end of her life.

[@willtrib]

evanesence? wtf... i mean even if something "new" - why such a cheese?

[@evesolis6133]

If it burns so hard, it couldn't burn long. But nothing's lost.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

How about THE CULT "EDIE" ? So much more appropriate!!

[@CHARLIEBIRDTV]

This song is a disgrace to Edie. This would be better silent.

[@caramartin2037]

this song tho.

[@WorldRockumentaryChannel]

we share the same birthday April 20

[@michaele.2583]

What makes here life and death a real tragedy is that she stood for something else than the stars of the illuminaty who are just doing the complementary brainwash of this industry of death. Very often they are sacrificed too, specialy when they become aware of the way they are abused, but here the deviance from the usual repression and social norm of the petty bourgeoise is authentic and serves as phantastic dream, whos faith is reflected in that of the single individual. That makes it a real tragedy, and the "music" underlying this clip so misplaced (apart from the fact, that it is misplaced everywhere else too of course)

[@michaele.2583]

Miss Malibu California Good question, but I have to admit that Im personaly unable to give names and adress, and can only trie to determine them more exact in a formal way: I refered to them as the secret societies pulling the strings on the geopolitical chessboard and also in particular industries after they have made a social movment an industrie. So they are the upper echelons behind the scene and the anonymos character is part of their nature and without further internal differentiation and for the purpose of my argument here, I dare to use this term as topic for this manipulating class, secret and fluctuating anyhow, wich corrupts a social movement to pure prostituaion if it has been something different in its origins, or uses it in this way if not. So they are the pimps who enslave the rest of the world, and specialy in music or performance i imagine they are dominant, as the man in black. Here on youtube there are videos about stars assasined by the illuminatie, complete kill-lists. Without beeing a fan of micel jackson, or wanting to compare him to the scene around Warhol, i remind on his pertinent interview where he talks about the conspiracy behind him and others, probably signing his death-sentence in doing so - its all on youtube. But of course this is only one aspect of them, the whole project of the so called new world order is far beyond of this manipulations and assasinations. Sorry if this may sound more like spreading rumors, but even if it is hard exactly to trace back on certain names, at least for me, I think that there is evidence which cant be ignored, and its articulation should not be intimidated by this deficit. As I sayed: have a look on youtube, as far as one can determine without belonging to them, the answer can be found there.

[@lemurianchick]

@@michaele.2583 I'm starting to wonder if Andy and the Factory was an MK Ultra/CIA operation. Modern art was created by the CIA as a form of mind control. Think of Jackson Pollack and his drips on the canvas. Edie came from a prominent family, was raped by her father and stuck in a mental hospital and given electroshock therapy, which could be argued is a form of what MK Ultra'd people are given. Why was Andy a magnet for these schizoid people? Sounds like he was Edie's handler. You can see him with her in so many pictures and then all of a sudden he stopped.

[@MrEdkern]

LIKE A ROLLING STONE THAT BOB DYLAN WROTE IN 1965 IS ABOUT EDIE SEDGWICK.

[@ra7271]

It's about Elizabeth Olsen.

[@MrEdkern]

oh bullshit, Dylan wrote like a rolling stone in 1965. Elizabeth olsen was not even thought of then. dude, go to the library.

[@ra7271]

+edward kern I am banned from there.

[@mzliz1249]

I think 'Like a rolling stone' was written by Dylan for his daughter.

[@johnd.1849]

“Like a Rolling Stone” seems clearly written about Edie. Bob Zimmerman (a.k.a. Bob “Dylan”) knows the truth.

[@lysvaakeren]

yes i agree..................................................9every single edie video is made with really cool and groovy music from that decade,or at least like it,this is music for vampires in trancylvania..go drink blooood....heh

[@jessicapatino5889]

Selena Gomez should play Edie

[@strawberry10261026]

This song is so not Edie

[@barbarapearce9738]

Destroyed by bulimia, drugs and Andy Warhol plus a crappy childhood. What a sad waste.

[@vintagebilly.uk..9005]

I feel that Andy Warhol had these people around him for his pleasure and art I believe he would throw them away when he got bored with them

[@katherine9109]

if Andy hadn't abandoned her...

[@jimbosail100]

Eadie acoustic by the cult is the best

[@ckotcher1]

At 107 I could be her twin.......not kidding I think she had a bastard child and it was me.....its staggering...

[@lysvaakeren]

yeah,edie is a rocker;))

[@eekj22]

nice vid, but its not a timeline my dear, sorry, but i get it tho! :)

[@scottthuong2609]

Oh, by the way, the tune is ok by me

[@deuvs123]

named my cat after her.

[@robrodriguez9243]

I hate this!!! 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ckotcher1]

I agree it doesnt fit

[@randyscott3386]

[@poppybell8217]

This music is incredibly misplaced!!! Jesus.

[@rachaelclarke3737]

I think Madonna copied her look

[@meep2576]

Terrible song

[@Anonymous-xm8ir]

This is one of the worst, if not the worst song ever! Cheesy and lame! How can you use it as an acoustic background for Edie, the 60's and The Factory. Just horrible. If you can you should change it!

[@jnorth1000]

Cheesy and Lame- that's Andy Warhol

[@Hugatree1]

The soundtrack is horrid!

[@danaecaszatt6488]

Seriously 😒 🙄
