The footsteps of Edie Sedgwick (childhood house, apartment where she died and her grave)

[@bigchunga222]

I went to her grave a few years ago for my 16th birthday. My mom and I bought some cleaning wipes and a little dust pan and cleaned her grave for her. We also bought her some flowers and a pack of cigarettes. I’m happy to see people are still going there and leaving gifts and keeping her memory alive 😊❤️

[@MazdaIsphahan]

That's so kind of you! I travelled all the way from Poland to visit her and to give her flowers and hand sculpted little bird. That's so unfair that she was forgotten for decades. I am also glad to see that she became more popular since last year and more people want to visit her resting place.

[@dr3754]

forgotten for decades? you have got to be kidding me. she could not be more famous from the day she left for nyc until today. the jean stein book was a runaway best seller in 1982, only one decade after she died, so even regular, non-hipster people knew of her. just because warhol abandoned her does not mean she was ever totally forgotten, she just withdrew into her substance abuse. even her death was well publicized at the time.

[@MazdaIsphahan]

d r When the book was released people wanted to read about her life and yes she became more known in the USA. Later only a group of people cared about her and she became popular again after the movie Factory Girl. When I was in Santa Barbara people didn’t know who she was. This city is her hometown, so I think they SHOULD know! Also, almost nobody visited her grave before. When I was there there for the first time there were old gifts from past few years...nothing new. I think the grave keeper took all of them away, because when I visited for the second time there was only a bird that I gave her when I was for the first time and there was a big construction with flowers, probably gaven by her husband on the date of their wedding anniversary. Also when I tell people about her, nobody knows who she was and I have to explain. In Europe she isn’t popular, maybe some people from England and France know about her, because of the movie Ciao! Manhattan and Andy’s movies. By the way...there should be a gallery related to her with her belongings and her artwork, but as I read her family gave everything to GoodWill. Now you see how they cared...

[@MazdaIsphahan]

d r oh and one more thing...people who knew her and have some photographs, recordings or other stuff started to copyright everything in 2006/2007 after the biopic was released.

[@calabiyou]

Good stuff.

[@ivorypenelope8444]

I went to Edies grave a week ago. I left flowers, pink champagne, pea soup andersons, her picture, and a balloon that said Sorry. Your sculpted bird was still there.

I only really found out about her a few weeks ago, when I bought and read 'POPism.' So, finding your work has been timely. Also, what a beautiful part of the US that is.

[@SlimKeith11]

If you're interested, try the book, "Edie, an american girl". by Jean Stein & George plimpton. It's considered a real classic. It's recollections for about 50 people, family friends, famous folk from the past. It puts together an interesting picture of Edie, she had a pretty tragic life. Her family was a horror show.

[@6Haunted-Days]

I find that area very bland ugly and very very brown. It's a depressing place imo.

[@laurastrobel718]

I first heard of Edie when Jean Steins biography came out Rolling Stone published excepts from it and someone eventually gave me a copy of it Edie was a modern day female Icarus...she flew to close to the sun and crashed Thanks for this It makes her seem more tangible and not just the wide eyed girl of photos and film☺💝🎆

Sadly one of so many. However so much more to her, we all love her now, she was right in the end.

I agree and she is from the mayflower family that settled in Massachusetts and very very beautiful and classy girl. The way she wore her makeup is back in style she was ahead of her time at a young age with a bunch of idiots like Andy Warhol who denied till he died he was gay to his mother and family fake asshole

This is a good video! She was born a year after my mother, and my mother died this summer, so Edie _could_ have still been alive today. Dying young is SUCH a damn tragedy!!!!! l went through 15 yrs of drugs, and l thank GOD in heaven that l made it!

[@MazdaIsphahan]

theresa42213 Thank you so much for your comment. I am so sorry for your loss :( May your mom rest in peace. She is in Heaven now. I am glad that you have overcame the addiction. It’s a horrible illness which takes lives of very talented, sensitive people...Just like Edie’s. My grandma was born in the same year as Edie and she is fine...I can’t stop thinking how unfair it was that such a beautiful and talented girl died so young and her life on this earth was a hell.

I would love to be able to visit California to see these sights as well.

[@baronurias1689]

I lived on Bath st around the corner from her De La vina apt. My cousin taught school in Solvang where she’s buried. My son was born at Cottage hospital. Biggest employer in Santa Barbara outside the University. Great hospital, I was in the I.C.U. For 7 days there. The ranch is no different than many ranch’s in the area. Very plain. Old money from New England. Santa Barbara is more to their liking than most other enclaves of wealth. I’ve lived her for 55 yrs. spent summers here before that.

[@ludwiganatolstiller5811]

Little Miss S., thank you very much. The documentation of your visit at the places where Edie lived and died captured me. The selection of music for the video fits perfectly. Really impressed. I read about Edie's story some years ago and could never forget her fate and didn't stop researching the internet about her. I fully understand that your wish was to see those places by yourself, because I do have a comparable secret wish about another person who lived not far away from this place and passed away a bit more than 2 years before Edie. Many thanks again to you, well done, and best regards. L.A.S.

Years ago as I drove into Santa Barbara for the only time I’ve been there, I spotted her father’s sculpture of a man on horseback at the convention center / municipal auditorium.

Hayley Star Thank you so much for your comment! I feel the same about Edie being a spirit friend. Is the huge constructions made of plants and succulents with a little, colorful bird given to Edie by you? I visited her grave twice and I saw that when I visited for the second time. It was 3 days after the anniversary of her wedding and I was wondering who left that beautiful gift! I gave her a hand-sculpted little bird (Edie loved to draw birds!) and those white flowers. I travelled to Santa Barbara from Poland. Visiting her grave and paying respect to Edie was a very special moment that I have never forget. I hope I will be able to come back in the future! I have a question. Do you know how to contact Michael? I would like to write him some words. He was a huge part of Edie’s life and he loved her dearly. All the best, Kinga.

I always wondered when her mother died, and I see by her gravestone that it was in 1988. Knowing that now, I also wonder if she could bring herself to read Edie’s biography which was published several years before her death, or if she just tried to deny / avoid the whole thing? It would’ve been agonizing for her if she did read it, but the entire saga was partly her fault, so she wasn’t just a victim of this tragedy.

[@me67226]

It was alot of her fault why didn't she divorce that creepy husband And save her children from that wretched man. ☮️🌹

[@me67226]

Also wondered why they weren't Buried in the Sedgwick "pie" with the other relatives.

[@SL-ze6su]

Idk there's a quote that describes her childhood "requesting affection wasn't natural in their house but instead laughable when asked" something like that, the family was probably very emotionally distant it's not normal siblings having multiples suicides (even 1 suicide isn't but multiples...)

[@mistersurrealist]

I've known about Edie since 2003 (20 years now!), which is when I started collecting books on Andy Warhol and the Factory. I was also a huge Velvet Underground fan, so there was no way I couldn't have known about her. The Ciao! Manhattan DVD was watched so many times by me and my friends while we were high and drunk because we used to think it was so hilarious. Having recently rediscovered the film after 18 years, my opinion has obviously changed. It is such a SAD and depressing film that leaves me with such a void inside my chest. She really is one of those emblematic figures that represent the excesses of the 1960s. Definitely NOT a role model for anyone, except maybe in style.
