edie sedgwick threatens grandma.

[PELICAN2K]

first song is "Shirelles - Tonight's the night".

you're welcome

[sauciesedgwick]

What's the music in this?



[jarileigh]

I think he could have killed her, there is quite a bit of info on Michael Post if you will read the books on Edie, it isn't that difficult to discern that he was passive agressive, and the rest is absolute fact. He did everything I said he did, & by his own admission & other people's statements.

[jarileigh]

We will never know for sure what happened, but how did she Od on the meds if he was responsible for dispensing them? It could be a coincidence that he was obsessed w/ her & she just HAPPENED to say she was leaving him that nite, & that he called NYC saying "I killed my baby" repeatedly, instead of calling 911 locally, but there are a LOT of coincidences is all I am saying. I'm a psychologist, & he was clearly passive aggressive. No one would have asked questions then any more than now.

[desertshore]

@jarileigh how do u know so much about michael post's personality? ('"passive agressive," etc.) - there's not that much personal info. available about him. your assertions that he "killed" Edie (i've been reading them for months in my email) are ludicrous.

[jarileigh]

@desertshore It may not be true, but it isn't ludicrous, I don't have anything against the man, I just noticed the evidence piling up in that direction, if she died of "acute" barbituate intoxication, & he was dispensing it, then at the very least he knew exactly how much she took, if it was more or less than usual, & he was aware of the amount of alcohol consumption so how did she do nothing out of the ordinary for her that night & die? Years of anorexia? At the least it isn't the whole story.

[jarileigh]

@desertshore He was a passive person by all accounts including his own. He felt used by her & was angry about it. She casually told someone she wouldn't be married that much longer(nite she died), he was obsessed w/her (his words) & said he could not live w/out her, yet was angry w/her in many ways(his words). So being passive in a classical codependent way & then getting angry about it makes him passive agressive, in his own words.

[jarileigh]

The fact that he says repeatedly that he can't live w/out her, & she just happened to say she was going to leave him THAT night is just the start. He took care of her & felt used, by his own admission. He felt "She's going to dump me after I've done ALL this for her?". He was passive-aggressive, being mostly passive, people thought of him as a nice, passive guy. But if u look carefully, it may be that he would have rathered her dead than have her leave him. He was obsessed with her.

[dirtygirlof76]

She looks like one of the Trojan women who were painted on the pottery during that time. Heavy black makeup and long earrings. Like Helen of Troy.

[thedeadgirlXVIII]

i don't get it. what was so funny??

[cshargeit]

at the right time and place.. kill your parents for their bucks. she just did not know.

[svetlana60656]

I can't hear/understand a thing either person is saying, unfortunately....

[MowgliX]

@svetlana60656 That's funny, because I can understand every word they are saying. Maybe you have a lot of background noise or something.

[fionasputnik]

Could someone please tell me what the first song is?

[HISTORYBUFFPA]

It's like watching the song "Like a Rolling Stone" be played out before our eyes.

[jarileigh]

It seems like her husband killed her. He was responsible for dispensing her medication, she died from too much of it. he said constantly that he couldn't live without her, & that night she said she was leaving him. He didn't call EMS, he called NYC & told David over &over "I killed my baby". David called EMS from NYC. He was angry (passive-agressive) with her that night, he did everything for her & she told this guy she wouldn't be married much longer & embarrassed him. It's all very fishy.

[MowgliX]

@jarileigh Nonsense, it was an accident. I suggest you read Edie: American Girl by Jean Stein and George Plimpton.

[jarileigh]

@MowgliX That's exactly where I got the information from! I suggest that you re-read it more carefully

[jarileigh]

@MowgliX Fact: Coroners Report "acute barbituate intoxication potentiated by ethanol" & "acute barbituate intoxication" (got her B-day wrong. Fact: her husband was in charge of dispensing said medication. He was angry with her that night by his own admission. He never called 911, but NYC instead, where he repeated "I killed my baby" over & over again. Fact: How did she suffer a barbituate OD when he was in charge of her dispensing the medication that killer her?

[jarileigh]

@MowgliX Read the end carefully, & think, no one really cared enough about Edie to inquire about her death, & b/c she had such history w/drugs & b/c her husband was a nice guy. But he says repeatedly that he can't live w/out her, then she says she's going to leave him, he's responsible for giving her the meds she ODed on, he's passive-aggressive, he calls NYC saying "I killed my baby" repeatedly, it could all be one big coincidence, I 'm saying that from what he himself says, it looks fishy

[andy12141]

that's bull, it killed her slowly.

[jarileigh]

Also, the beauty of Edie is not the self medication of drugs or the huge eyes and sensual mouth that made up her stunning face, but the fact that she was able to deal with the insanity that she was raised with as well as she did! Much better than most could, and with an amazing amount of grace & poise. She had the ability to blow off very intense negative emotions, and even though she died young, she was a survivor. A survivor of sexual, physical, & psychological abuse

[SteffiCalifornia]

Right you are, others around her at that time were very fascinated by her poise alone. One said that, "She had this poise of complete composure and when she walked into a room, everyone was on point." She also did say she would freak out in a physical way but really seemed to hold it together gracefully as well as she could.

[giannireb68]

Well spoken. But the eyes, mouth, and poise DO count for something. There is a very crazy lady who lives on my corner who deals with her mental illness quite well. But she looks like Grandpa from the "Munsters" with a perm. Although intriguing, she will never be Edie.

[jarileigh]

@giannireb68 True, I meant it was more than her face, but I could look at her face all day, her eyes are SO beautiful. She was more than physically beauty & heiress tho. Her Father was infatuated with her since puberty, he "couldn't take his eyes off her" and he said that she was "delicious". She walked in on him scewing some lady, he hit her, said she was crazy, doped her up, & locked her in her room. And much more. Lots of issues, but she handled all of it with amazing grace, considering.

[MowgliX]

@jarileigh Oh yes, that's very touching. But Edie was a real tomboy, she was strong and athletic too, and not easily scared, and she rode horses out in thunderstorms and things like that. She was very courageous because she grew up like that.

[jarileigh]

@MowgliX She was courageous because she had to be in order to survive. Her upbringing was brutal, and the fact that she survived it & was able to live the life that she lead is the thing I admire about her most. The fact that she was a tomboy at heart & rode her horse during thunderstorms is simply another example of that spirit.

[jrmetmoi]

@jarileigh  ewww

[musicxcraze]

@jarileigh You are so right.

[grainofsandfan]

She was surrounded by people who wanted her to fail. She was one of them.

[jarileigh]

It's not that she or anyone else wanted her to fail. Her childhood was so brutally abusive, as was that of her 2 brothers of which one committed suicide in a mental hospital, and the other drove into the side of a bus, which Edie believed was suicide, that she could not overcome the horrific childhood. As an adult she was more concerned with her Father throwing her back in the "bins" than she was with posing for Vogue, etc. Warhol understood her, hence the name "Poor Little Rich Girl".

[micmore007a]

dead junkie

[Dingalingring]

My God, watch her tweak and twitch!

[Dingalingring]

Yes! OIne of the songs in the background is 'Dedicated To The One I Love' by The Shirelles!

[tiranchula]

The first song is "Tonight's the Night".

[Dingalingring]

If you listen carefully to what Edie actually says, much of it is nonsense. There's no continuum or consequence to any of it. She was a charming girl, but she was waaay messed up on drugs.

[dany9012]

whats that song on the back?

[Dingalingring]

@ dany9012- one of the songs in the latter part of the clip sounds like an early version of a Mamas and Papas song. I can't remember the name of it..

[kentucy9999]

Beautiful. Sensual in a detached sort of way, but definitely a speed freak. I remember John Cale talking about that period and saying " almost everyone was on drugs in the Warhol scene." {Except Andy.} Many were into speed. Many were into narcotics such as heroin, but nearly everyone was propelled by some something.The thing is......I got into drugs in the late 60's and early 70's and alot of people I knew from that period died etc, so I don't think what happened w/ Edie is unusual.

[rightsville]

Crazy as a bedbug and a druggie to boot.

[chelseaa2]

what a beauty

[vastedda99]

It figures that the Schmuck who would get all uptight about TonySarandrea lip-smacking comment would be from AMERICA!

[TonySarandrea215]

edie licking her lips...shwing!

[yourlostlittlegirl]

edie was beautiful but you should have repect for her and women in general

[TonySarandrea215]

yea cause you know me based on 1 comment and all.

I guess that is suppose to sum up my whole attitude toward women right. Some ppl man, no sense of humor.

It was a fucking Wayne's World reference! geezzz

[desertshore]

i'm sorry, but edie's lip-licking WAS fantastic.:)

[Zuthecat]

love your comment.. ;)

[rollergirl311916]

the second song is by the shirr ells " dedicated to the one I Love" definitely 50's 60's music which

is excellent.

[espifreak]

Does anyone know if this was scripted, or meant to be a documentary?

[thereswaterhere]

This was not scripted, like most of Andy Warhol's films. Andy is quoted in saying "She didn't need a script for Poor Little Rich Girl. If she did she wouldn't be right for the part."

[humdrum99]

Edie was the cutest little kid.

[Moniqueee15]

She's so beautiful.

&Yeah she's totally fucked up.

You could tell.

[factorygirI]

love those earrings.

[zag001a]

How is she related to Kyra?

[neverforeverkate]

Kyra's father is Edie's 1st cousin.

[tommiisan]

what are those songs playing in the background. I love songs like that, and I hear those particular ones all the time, but don't know who sings them...

[saintjessie]

The girl-group is the Shirelles.

[lacherriewey]

i hate her voice!

[giannireb68]

In a black bra and panties no less!! She was truly something.

[pekoe]

Really far out man---

[siouxie921]

Could watch her gorgeous face all day. See how manic she is - she can't stop moving.

Also, see the scar between her black as night eyebrows? It was from one of her bad car accidents. She also had a rather prominent horizontal scar across one of her knees from another car accident. What's so cool is that she never bothered to cover them up.

[desertshore]

she seems almost to wear them as badges.

[giannireb68]

They were nothing compared to the internal psychic scars. Or the inherited ones. Read "In My Blood " by her cousin. The Sedgwick lunacy and lust are actually older than the United States. The Sedgwicks themselves are actually older than the English throne. They go back to 8th century Yorkshire.

[giannireb68]

And good girls from finishing schools didnt go around threatening grandma and calling other rich people pigs in 1965. This was radical stuff for that moment.

[deatheater459]

shes probably fucked up, thats why shes so manic and cant stop moving lol

[siouxie921]

Gee, ya think? This is the joint: Edie's buzzing (on speed), and you see in same film, she's drinking cough medicine (w/ codeine) & smoking weed or hash to take off the edge, ya dig?

Has anyone else ever looked so drop dead gorgeous while getting totally fucked up?

[pekoe]

A drug den weird zombie -like lunatic group of people--Damn..Her Buttocks were twitchin for a fix..

[MowgliX]

@siouxie921 Right, that scar on her forehead was a memory from a bad car crash in Santa Barbara, California, in 1964. There was also some faint scars on the left side of her face, below the eye, but they might have healed. Edie was driving, and she and another young woman were injured really badly. Edie had problems before this happened, of course, but actually, a traumatic head injury can cause really serious damage to the brain.

[tedcantu1]

SHE WAS FREAKIN HOT

[LordSolaris]

I love the 60's!

[blaquebarbie18]

me too lol.

[cattyrox01]

what song is this?

[dylangoodin85]

The Shirelles: Tonight's the Night, then its, Dedicated to the one I love : D

[chrisdunst13]

love this film

[revolucion88]

gosh she was so beautiful, its such a shame her life was the way it was and ended

[desertshore]

absolutely.

[xartificialsweetener]

[bronwyndarling]
