  • whatta hot mess

  • Deeper and Deeper...

  • A true fashion icon

  • She looked so happy in her wedding. It makes me smile.

  • She looks a little bit like keira Knightley...

  • Is it just me why did they let her walk high as a kite with heels on a brick walk with a gigantic drop that could have killed her. If you said this video was yesterday and not '72 you'd believe it.

  • I can't remember...Did she die of AIDS?

    

  • @animalliberation0961 no drug addiction.

  • @animalliberation0961 No. She overdosed on alcohol and barbiturates (heavy sleeping pills, not generally prescribed nowadays). Alcohol will potentiate some other drugs, make them more powerful. But nobody knows how many pills she took that night. She just fell asleep very quickly and expired.

  • I can understand why she liked speed so much. I love amphetamines, and can't take them, because I can't stop taking them and they never really satisfy--you always need more. That's why I don't take them at all anymore and I'm still alive. I wish she could be alive, but her death is irreversible. You can't help wishing you could have saved her. There is a lot of life beyond drugs.

  • depressing. omg. :(

  • Mess, mess, mess. From the very beginning, a mess. Very smart, beautiful, and artistically talented - but still, a tragic mess.

  • the last images aren't from ciao mannhatan right? (i'm sorry for not knowing)

  • Eddie absolutely has the charisma of Marilyne Monroe - Sienna Miller??? does not even hold a birthday candle to her - physical resemblance, that's it - she's just not a superstar.

  • so sad

  • Wow, that was fucked up. I didn't want to see her that way. She died shortly after that wedding. So sad. However, strangely ok knowing she was happy for awhile.

  • Edie... Such a special person with an absolutely mesmerizing face that's impossible to forget.

  • "drugs are like strawberries and peaches." lol what a terrible yet beautiful statement.

  • i relate to her so fuckin much i cry

  • the scene in the sauna is wonderful

  • Where is that wall she walks on top of?

  • Comment removed

  • @555Jennybear Fort Lee, New Jersey, I believe. You can't blame Edie for what happened. She was very ill.

  • @555Jennybear I'm pretty sure that's The Cloisters museum.

  • @555Jennybear The wall is at Fort Lee Historic Park, New Jersey, United States. I think that in Ciao! Manhattan, we mostly see it from the reverse angle, from the riverside point of view. Do a search at Wikipedia!

  • aw her poor husband!

  • "superlative high ... to radiate sunshine "

    Hmmm ...

  • what did she had on her arm at 0:40??

    omg I almost cried at the very end :( so sad, she was soo beautiful and adorable, fucking drugs, at first I thought she was murdered or something, cuz is almost impossible to think that she died of an overdose, after years and years of consuming drugs, and living such a harsh live, so I thought maybe someone who envied her had kill her. is still possible though, but there is nothing that we could do to bring her back :(

  • @rbd7 Actually it's probably because of her harsh life that even prescription pills were able to affect her body so strongly. But it is strange and atypical the way she died...reaching the heights of substance abuse only to come back down, settle into married life, and overdose on medication. It's much like Nico's ending; quitting heroin, getting healthy, and having a heart attack probably as a result of previous drug use. I don't think Edie's life could be lived without serious consequences.

  • it's a peice of jewelry.

  • @taty4ever really? wow thx a lot it took a while for someone to actually answer my question lol but thanks :) that's some weird piece of jewellery

  • Was she really getting shocked at the end?

  • No, but she'd been through so many real shock treatments that it wasn't very hard for her to pretend it was happening. Sad, I know.

  • I myself went through a horrible drug addiction yrs. 1995-2004. Her voice is so hauntingly familiar! R.I.P. Edie Sedgewick

    At least we get to remember you on film!!!

  • oh poor edie, she sounds 20 years older than she was..

  • @livvy177 I know all to well her's is a opiate induced vocal stupor

  • oh my god! in some scenes she looks just like sienna miller , (she portrayed her on the factory girl)

  • Like most of our icons I like the "illusion" of Edie. When I hear her talk in this film I'm disappointed because her thoughts and insights are pretty pedestrian to tell you the truth. Nothing terribly deep, articulate or perceptive. Alot of the images seem to be pretty mainline 60's drug culture stuff you'd find on the back of any Wheaties box. Cookie cutter stuff. It is always like that though.LIsten to someone like Timothy Leary and he's interesting and brilliant. Edie is mundane.

  • You're right that her insights here aren't exceptional, but then these tapes were recorded when she was strung out in mental hospitals, drugged, and rambling aimlessly in a stream of consciousness. Years of self-destruction through heavy drug abuse made her sound weary and uninspired. Many who knew Edie said she was incredibly perceptive in reflecting on situations, with a fierce natural intelligence and attentiveness. Her quotes prior to her descent in drug addiction reflect this much more.

  • I'm sure you're right Goddess and have heard her talk in a pretty insightful way. Maybe I'm just older now but I've become quite cynical and oppositional about "the 60's" and "the underground" and the "drug culture" and "Warhol" and the way all of these people and "ideals" have been played up. We've become an "iconoculture" through the years. Everything is/was magnificent and magnetic and wondrous when alot of times it was gritty and turgid. I don't know that it will change though.

  • @kentucy9999 Iagree but people do that and have been since the beginning of time: live in the past and pine for the so-called "good old days"...not just the 60's...old timers always put down anything new and now and glorify the past...it's the usual defense against aging and the world changing while you don't...

  • @ThisIsBilbo In my case, I was too little to experience the 1960s, I was just a baby. So that's not the reason why I like it. I don't like the 1930s, 40s or 50s at all, or the 1970s, 80s or 90s. Just the 1960s: the music, movies, social and political improvements, the human rights movement, clothes, art, graphic design, the space race... The early 1970s were a continuation of that, but it quickly ran out of steam.

  • @kentucy9999 that said, the 60's was 1/3 good and 2/3 crap and all these self-important baby boomers and aging hippies really ought shut up and stop filling young people's heads with all their bullshit...funny how the don't trust anyone over 30 generation has become as pathetic as their own parents

  • @xXPinkGoddessXx so so so very true honey, tears!!!!!!!!!

  • @kentucy9999 absolutely right

  • But she ended up like everyone else who takes hard drugs, so its really no different than the average junkie nodding on the street. She had a lot of potential in the arts, but her naive actions caused her a young death.

  • @artstar19 and her being sexually abused by her father, besides her TWO brothers commited suicide. I think that would fuck anyone up. unfortunatly!

  • @corinnabambina are u sure se was actually sexually abused? i know that was in the movie but i didnt think it was true because i never read anything about it..

  • She is so beautiful and fragile, like an angel on drugs.

  • my god..i'll end up like her...

  • 5:46, what are they doing to her? and I can't believe that's beautiful Edie getting married! Holy shit! She looks...well, normal LOL.

  • shock treatment scene, edie really wanted that to be in the movie.

  • loves it

  • They're both so gorgeous. So druggy and so gorgeous. And they're both dead.Ah, the Sixties!!

  • this really makes you see the side effects of what hard drugs can do to your mind and body and goals. i think if she beat the habit and had not been naive she would have been a huge success; even more so than now

  • Comment removed

  • This is part of the great movie Ciao Manhattan.

    They have not let me or either of my friends to pload the entire movie they take it down!!!!!!

    So how can any one form there own opions regarding the movie???? Which I think there is a lot of information in the movie about the government in 65' tried to quiet the youth with LSD so they wouldnt protest the ploticial issuses than.

  • was "faggot" an ok term to use in the 60s? or was it still offensive?

    i love edie

  • It sucks when you have aDDHD cause uppers make you nervous

  • The Nuns in the subway on the escolater

    actually were the directors of ciao manhattan!

  • who does that song at the end???

  • Justice Kim milford

  • there is something bitter to taste and to pretend there isnt is foolish.. right?

  • Love Edie...

    "Making me a twin of Andy wich is bull shit" - edie.

  • oh, edie :(

  • amazing. thanks for posting this

  • She had beautiful lips.

  • 0:24 Wow

  • can someone explain to me what she means by "turn the world around for just a moment" ?

  • She means have everyone in the world experience the same feeling of the drug.. whatever drug that is.

  • She's talking about speed which is an amphetamine. It produces that sense of euphoria she's talking about.

  • like orbatrols thats what Andy took

    Now its called Vyavance its more of a punch\

    than adderall

  • or it could also mean that she no longer feels fully connected to the world anymore because of her depression

  • "turning someone on" is 60's terminology for turning people on to drugs, turning people on to getting high,

    ya dig?

  • that moment feels like forever, better than red wine and barbituates

  • THANK YOU

  • thanks so much for sharing!! poor poor little girl...! so sad....!it seems she felt so alone and lost ..:(

  • i love her voice.

    "Speed is the ultimate all time high

    That first rush. Wow. Just that burning, searing, soaring sense of perfection.

    Like ..oh, god. .. a 24 hour climax that could go on for days "

  • maybe you would like shock treatment?

  • I like the Korney music

  • i love speed, and im gonna tell u something.

    speed dont make u a happy person

    make u a fuckin weird and crazy and so bipolar persons

    thats the reason that all that costumers love it.

    love edie,

    not her fackin´fake pop art

    she just make me dance.

    sorry

    im so high

  • i love you

  • i love you too

  • what's the name of the song in the ending? and who sing it? thanks

  • kim milford- justice...you wont be able to find it anywhere, trust me

  • she was damaged from the day she was born! so sad! i read that book CIAO EDIE! one very messed up family!

  • i wanna try speed...i wanna feel the high she felt...i love her voice..i love her personna...i love her beauty...i love her!

  • The glorification of her life is manifactured in an adoration factory of other peoples need to cling to the illusiono of her surface. You will not find Edie nor happiness in speed you'd find the abyss

  • don't be easily influenced! that's a horrible idea, did you see her before and after...and END?

  • it just breaks my heart

  • God, what a beutiful but incredibly troubled girl Edie was. What a pity she could never escape the drugs or her past. I think she would have had an amazingly reflective dialogue as a survivor. RIP

  • Edie made herself a casualty to the moment. But what a moment it was! She was a walking repudiation of so many lies and myths in American life at the time,an artist who used her life and her person as a canvass. She made so many people uncomfortable and she paid dearly for it. R.I.P.,Edie, it's good you left when you did. Today's world doesn't deserve you.

  • totally agree...her life couldnt get any worse

  • She wasn't stoned, but the part of her brain that controlled her speech had been irreparably damaged.

  • was it because of all the drugs? or because it was just damaged?

  • it was 80% real and 20% acting.

  • this is not spam.

    that button is to keep advertising away, not to censor.

  • Thank you so much for posting these Ciao! Manhattan clips.

  • POWER TO THE PEOPLE! lol, edie has been in the shadows for too long

  • can you buy this film anywhere?

  • ebay, barnes & nobel, amazon, everywhere, but you will find it cheapest on ebay

  • i own this film ciao manhattan and i love the music especially the song in the beginiging of the fil what are the names of these songs

  • could u post it?

  • Thanx 4 uploading this!!!

    I've just read the J.Stein biography of Edie, and I've seen this movie dozens of times.

    Speaking of Edie, my vision is a mix of a manifested destructive personallity and a large amount of latent potential of positivity, creativity and other fine human qualities. Everyone said that Edie had a talent but cannot say what was, I think it's cause the destructive part obscured the creative one, but some sparkle of light escaped the darkness anyway.

    What a waste... R.I.P.

  • Omg! thank you so so so so so so much! for uploading these beautiful scenes of Edie!!!!!!

  • I'm glad you like them! I hope to post her movies, Beauty# 2 and poor little rich girl with subtitles so people can actually understand what everyone is saying for a change, lol

  • I miss Kitchen... where the fuck I can get that movie?!? I can't find it in stores here in Italy... Do you have it?

  • Hmm...I've only seen bits of Kitchen, but I can't find the whole film ever. I will look tho.

  • Tnx!

    I've looked for it everywhere, stores, ebay, p2p... nothing:(

    Here in Italy there's only an underground movies label named "Rarovideo" that sell a box of DVDs of warhol's movies but there's only one with Edie in it (Vinyl).

    If Anyone got any source, tell it pleeeease!

  • ohhh...that's a good idea, subtitles ♥ thx for the upload.

  • Manhattan State Hospital put her on very strong medication that completely fucked her up. She thought that the psychiatric hospitals were a useful crutch if the real world got too much.

    I just think she was ill equipped to handle ordinary life. Most of the Sedgwick kids hadn't even taken a bus until well into early adulthood. They were unhealthily disconnected from the outside world at the ranch in California.

    Edie was too trusting, impressionable, and vulnerable. No true friends.

  • Yeah, she deteriorated horrifically by the time she hit her mid-20s. Too many drugs and electric shock treatment in the mental hospitals rendered her unable to speak for a short while.

  • It's too bad that she was very messed up.

  • never seen... lovely...

  • ah...lovelovelovelovelove.
