I had never really considered the comparison between Edie and Paris, but I can totally see where people get it. They're both washed up wasted trust fund babies who got famous for their obscene spending/partying habits. Though, Edie certainly had more style and was more interesting.
Drug addled, morally bancrupt, conveniently naive when it suit her purpose. Self-destruction comes in many forms. Hedonism is never interesting. You reaped what you sowed, sad Edie.
People are too funny Edie was a muse and is still an icon.... Paris is a Barbie wanabe and everything i dont wanna be though i weirdly like how she has made millions for being herself...
@MowgliX no i heard sienna before i heard edie so i mean what i said first, that edie sounds just like sienna did in factory girl - therefor sienna did a good job.
@LunaJohannaLeigh Oh, I of course assumed you meant Edie did a pretty good job at the time trying to sound like Sienna, which pretty amazing really since Edie died just about 40 years ago now. ;)
@MowgliX why would you assume that? i would have to be pretty damn dumb to think sienna miller was born in the 20's, when she's almost 30 years old today
@caravaggio31 NO. I saw factory girl waaay before i knew how edie actually sounded, and now i saw this and i was like "woow, sienna did such a great job impersonating edie's voice". that's what I meant and let's just leave it at that.
I WONDER IF HER FAMILY HAS HER CLOTHES EAR RINGS MAKEUP STUFF OF HERS I WISH I COULD JUST HAVE A SHIRT OR SUMTHING SHES SUCH AN ICON PEOPLE ARNT LIKE LIKE ANYMORE.
@acostadavid91 No, apparently all of Edie's stuff at the ranch was given away, everything except her art. That was kept by the family because it reflected the soul of Edie Sedgwick. But her husband Michael Post may still have some things.
Edie Sedgwick, in my opinion, is incomparable. If anything you could say that Paris Hilton is trying to be like Edie, however she does not have the intelligence to be like Edie, even when she was high. Lets be honest, in 40 years i doubt people will know who paris hilton is, but we all remember Edie Sedgwick.
She was so beautiful. She shone like star and burned out while she was still a young woman. It was very tragic, but in a way I'm glad she died in her sleep like that, at home. Ten or twenty more years of hopelessness, depression and heavy drug use would have been just more of endless suffering for Edie. I pray she's safe and happy now.
SO TRUE!!! how dare they compare this rare butterfly 2 that beanpole bigbird in drag lookin paris hilton. about the ONLY thing they have in common is that they're both heiresses. but thats it. edie was culturally superior 2 that twig. edie was and still is the ultimate!!!
This was a drugged induced tapping because she went back to california before she finished the movie and had to finish it there on her own and her character in ciao manhattan was on drugs so I they wanted her to sound the same although I'm guessing from all the drugs she had used she didn't sound too different.
She was fucked up as a child mainly by her dad if the accounts are true, not by Vogue or Andy or drugs or fame. She came from old money. the woman from Vogue tried to keep her going as did Andy who took in strays and cared for her as did her husband who tried to keep her sane and sober..
How sad she got trapped in this screwed up image of a life. The majority of us in the 60's did not end up this f'd up and did not use drugs nor did we screw every pair of pants that looked our way. It's a false image of the 60's pushed by the media about the few who bought into the drugged out, sexed out world of celebrity.
@JoyMSZ It'sa good image tho. I mean, i love it. Sex, drugs and Art'n'roll ! what you want people to remember from the 60's ? Boring subjects, boring life, boring people? Thanks but no thanks.
@JoyMSZ it was only ever a small minority of people but an important one. people who were trying new ways.of living and loving .

Most people then and now went to work got married owned a car and watched TV.
Edie: A Beautiful Goddess - She had "It-All" available to her... She did shine as a star and as best as she felt it worthwhile... When living fast, everything gets old just as fast too... Soaring high happily but suddenly finding out that the sky is endless and so is the journey... The meaning left the building and so did she... Edie: Artist/Goddess. ParisHilton: beautiful, gifted etc however she will never be an Edie Sedgwick - the difference "Sacredness, Spirituality, Bravery & Artistry"!
@AshleeLovesMJ Sienna Miller didn't look anything like Edie, and Factory Girl had nothing to do with factual reality. But Edie herself was the real deal. So tragic, but she was real.
@AshleeLovesMJ Sienna Miller didn't like anything like Edie, and Factory Girl had nothing to do with factual reality. But Edie herself was the real deal. So tragic, but she was real.
@AshleeLovesMJ The movie implies that she became a herion addict and died, which is not only untrue, but she moved back to Ca in late 1968, and married & completed Ciao! Manhattan in 1971, & died Nov 1971, quite a lot happened between her leaving NYC & dying. She went through a series of hospitalizations after her Father's death, which is common with abusers/victims, & we don't know exactly what she died of, it could have been years of anorexia, I just hate the movie! Not hating on you!
Who will remember the other party chicks in 40 years? Nobody, that's who, no matter how infamous they are now. They will be very brief entries in the encyclopedia at the most. But Edie will be remembered for many years because of what she did, her social impact and also her way with words, her intelligence. She really got to tell her story in the end, and that was very important to Edie. She was sort of bombed out and wobbly towards the end, but she always remained the same person deep inside.
@jarileigh Oh really? It would be interesting to see that article. I can only speak of my own opinion. To me, Edie is the greatest of them all, and unique because of her very complex character: strength, weakness, speed, slow motion, serenity, restlessness, intelligence, recklessness... And ultimately, her otherworldly beauty, refinement and cuteness, her purity and perfection.
@cookielova why are people, and HOW are people comparing edie to paris?? Paris is famous for no reason, doing reality shit, but Edie actually did stuff, she was an artist, an actress starring and becoming queen of underground films, then she did Ciao! Manhatten and she became and occult classic, i just don't see any comparison....
Who the hell is comparing Edie to Paris?? There is no comparison. Edie is more beautiful, more cool, more hip and even more sophisticated than Paris or any other wanna be out there today. It's sad that she had to leave us in such a short time.....
@AshleeLovesMJ I just don't get it, I don't think anything about the movie, with the exception of Sienna's body, was ANYTHING at all like Edie, maybe b/c I was familiar w/ Edie before the movie. Lou Reed said "I read the script & it was the biggest bunch of crap I've ever read, it's amazing how low some people will stoop to make a dollar" Dylan threatened to sue if they used his name in it. Edie did not die the way the movie portrayed, she was married,etc the movie is a insult to her memory
Edie was very perceptive, but most people don't realize that Edie never had a chance, a friend of hers said her Father told her "Edie can't help but be fucked up, bad things happened to Edie", this is her CHILDHOOD. The thing I admire most about Edie is not her captivating eyes, or her cultivated voice, but the fact that she was able to deal with such adversity in the way that she did. She had a unthinkable childhood, she lost 2 brothers in less than 2 years...but she had such PASSION for life!
I guess nothing has changed since the days back than. The Fashion and Lifestyle INDUSTRY is a brutal money making machine by using peoples beautiness for shiny propaganda in order to establish a mass phychosis to make people spend more and more money on fashion- and cosmetic products. They RAPE peoples naivety and play with their minds...Edie is a good example, but there are legions of Edie's out there....and they get more and more! Have fun guys - see you around...
Sad, after all she just want to be happy and wants to have friends that will care for her but she can't find ut. Not the art or fashion world is cruel to her, everyone even herself is cruel to her..
@numberoneplayerhater Firstly, she was no more of addict than anyone else around her, Nico was a functioning heroin addict for 10 years, Secondly, how could she NOT be a addict when a) she was submerged in a drug culture where EVERYONE was a drug addict b) drugs were common in her home c)her Father drugged her as a child to control her, truthfully, she might have died from lifelong anorexia as from a drug overdose, her husband administered her normal prescribed medication the night she died
A lot of people cared about her very deeply. Only met her twice, both times were unforgeable, Edie's spirit can't even begin to hope to die. In these films she is portrayed, basically as a pretty airhead. Nothing could be further from the truth. The people delivering this film want to emphasise her methedrine habit and her penchant for the delights of heroine. That she, by virtue of these characteristics, is somehow less that the Reality based Princess she was. Edie was Empathetic beyond time
@harleybunt You MET When her Father drugged her & tricked her into being locked up in a Psych ward when she went home for X-mas, & then bragged to her then boyfriend Bob Neuwirth about what he had done to trick her, Bob threatened her Father w/ legal action if he couldn't speak w/ her in 24 hrs & she arrived back in New York "smiling & completely covering up the discomfort she had experienced at home. She had a certain puritanical way of not letting her blues get in the way of her lifestyle"
@harleybunt I meant to say, you MET Edie twice?! The reason I admire her so is because of the way she handled adversity, losing 2 brothers in less than 2 years, & with her terrible upbringing by a pscyhopath who was told not to have children due to his mental state, then he went on to have 8 kids, threatening his wife's life in the process, just to show how VIRILE he was, hitting on his son's girlfriend's & wives...when Edie caught him screwing the maid, he drugged her & told her she was crazy
@TheRachel33 this isnt a cult to a decadent society. this is a homage to a very troubled woman that had a serious of issues whether they be Her fault, her families, or the people she surrounded herself with. truly haunting.
@TheRachel33 No, it isn't a cult to anorexia and drug abuse. It's the love and admiration of someone who was very beautiful and talented, a loving soul who was caught up in her incurable or undiagnosed illness. Edie also had the wit to describe what was happening so poignantly, so poetically. Her drug abuse was more of a side effect of her problems than the cause of them, though they certainly worsened her illness.

i cant understand how people can be so stupid and superficifial just like paris hilton because they r compaing her to paris...come on u stupid fucks,she's more deep more intellect,more artisistic,more educated,more classy in an old aritocratic american way,more beautifull,more charming.just listen to this voice ...even fucked up with drugs,sheb sound beautifull...it was the sixties...drugs were hipe...not vulgarised like now...the never knew the danger...it was about discovering yourself....
another person idolized because she died young. The truth is she was just the Paris Hilton of her time. Rich girl, socialite, partying, wanting attention, dressed up, and drug user.
@Tigerlily21 yeah but she had so many issues. Her dad sexually abused her, two of her brothers committed suicide, she was anorexic, she became addicted to drugs....paris hilton is just stupid and that's it. Edie was the American Dream. She was beautiful on the outside, but so empty on the inside because she had a past that haunted her throughout her life no matter how much she tried to get away.
@Tigerlily21 She was some of that, but so what? A person's greatness doesn't amount to that only, and Edie, from what I have read, was intelligent, very sprightly, and also a kind person, which is of equal importance, at least in my mind. But yes, I idolize her, and a bit too much maybe.
@Tigerlily21 Jealous much? Curious that you find Edie so worthless, yet you can't seem to stop watching her videos and commenting on her. You seem a little obsessed with her yourself, you might try learning something about her and learn why she fasicanates you (and so many others) so much. Listen to safariinc, you might actually learn something about Edie.
"Edie Sedgwick considered her life to be a work of art. She was living her life like it was a work of art and everything was going to go down in history." - Jamie Hince
@StarsThatTwinkle That's beautifully put, and probably true, partly. Edie was caught up in this thing that she couldn't control, a world on heavy drugs, a world without direction. She didn't know what to do from the very start. She even said so in "Beauty No. 2". She was so precious.
why the hell would i care about a wannabee drug addict cunt and feel sorry for her in the movie factory girl...stop fuckign smoking kunt and learn a job like all of us.
@MowgliX it's a technique meant to disorient the listener, drawing them into her story, her life. it takes us out of the real and into the surreal, which is what it must have felt like for edie at the time...
@hardcore039 She was caught up in this thing that was spinning, spinning out of control. She was a very intelligent person, which only made it even harder for her.
@MowgliX right, that's exactly what I'm saying. as viewers, we can't all relate to the disorienting lack of control she was experiencing, and techniques such as the multiple soundtracks are an attempt to draw us out of our own sense of control as active participants in the narrative.
@MowgliX the velvet underground did that alot in their songs like murder mystery and sister ray, it was perodistic to the scene she was in, when living in new york. watch the movie- ciao manhattan it's pretty kool, she actually plays herself, they just change her name in the movie.
@fishnetsNcigarettes The Velvets did what a lot? You mean run two different things at once? I've seen Ciao! Manhattan a couple of times. It's very sad to see Edie fall apart like that. But while she was the center of New York's art world, she was like Cinderella.
i love edie sedgwick. its so heartbreaking how she was just used up and walked all over till she was a dirty leftover doormat. edie reminds me of myself in some ways. i mean, i do not use drugs but it seems like she was too easily taken advantage of due to her poor judgement in people. She trusted too much in shitty people who were not looking out for her best interest. i love her unique beauty. my biggest style influence by far.
@robertomezza No, most likely not Andy Warhol. He was a homosexual you see. So the photographer was someone else. Also, Edie used Andy too, and left the Silver Factory for Bob Dylan crowd once she discovered Warhol wasn't going to take her to Hollywood, or anywhere else for that matter outside the Manhattan art scene.
I am intrigued by Edie, but kind of the same way as Marilyn Monroe. Obviously they had more going on than what was on the surface, but, I don't know, I think I'm more fascinated by the subdued girl, probably because I can identify with her more. I never understood how someone could be so outgoing and fun and carefree and have everything they could ask for and still hurt. Not saying it can't happen. I just don't understand it, because I feel if you hate yourself, you don't want to show yourself.
@hipnhappenin she didn't want 2 show herself she said so in this movie/documentary she used 2 wear tons of make-up to hide herself . bt 2 be honest i liked her with the short blond hair nd all tht makeup i thought she looked better i mean she is still unbelievably beautiful in this film bt i dn't noe she was just more unique before she went bck 2 beinn a brunette nd took all the make-up off :) xx
Paradoxes like that aren't unusual when it comes to mental afflictions. Narcissists for instance, are totally self-obsessed yet possess very low self-esteem because their sense of self feeds from the recognition of others. Marilyn Monroe didn't care that she was sexy or beautiful as far as her own happiness was concerned, but she knew others did and hence used it to gain the approval she needed so badly for fulfilment. Edie was much the same way, though her personal problems were different.
She actually had a lot of awareness about what was going on around her, sad that she felt so powerless amongst it all. She seemed very perceptive but didn't believe in her own ability to make the chaotic ride stop. That is even more sad than someone not seeing what is going on around them. My heart goes out to her and can see why Bob Dylan did infact care for her very deeply <3
after seeing someone commenting 'Edie is definately not someone to idolize'.... granted she is not someone to idolize, but she is an icon, more iconic than twiggy and jean shrimpton, she was an artist on so much deeper levels
people can connect with her, she had a tragic life and went through it as a target, viewers can connect with her in more ways than being just an 'idol'
Thanks for posting this. Is the sound on the film layered like this? It's a bit distracting because I find myself trying and failing in my attempts to follow both stories during those moments. I wish they could have avoided the layering of audio. Although it does give the effect of being in her head or something. I'm just more interested in her stories, than the sound effects.
@lotussypringa No, it wasn't Andy Warhol. Warhol wasn't a photographer. Edie said it was a photographer who was noted for his pictures of Marilyn Monroe. I've no idea who it was, but it certainly wasn't Warhol.
@lotussypringa I think it may be Bert Stern, because he had an NY apartment, famously shot Marilyn's "Last Sitting", and came onto Marilyn while she was drunk in the said photoshoot. That's just my speculation though. There really weren't that many other photographers famous for shooting Marilyn specifically (Milton Greene is the only other one that comes to mind).
Too bad she didn't last. She was wise but had no defenses against the evil she met. Her descriptions of modeling don't seem very different from today.
Same guys who hate women behind the scenes, same perverted leeches.
that she survived by making herself look like a mask, and turning into a non-feeling person is so sad.
Today homosexuals (women and men) have taken over the business in many ways. The casting couch is still there
@artstar19 Um what? Edie is a great person to idolize because of all she went through, she was a beautiful person who went through abuse & neglect, she was endearing and beautiful, she brought a style that the world had never seen, her makeup & her clothing brought inspiration to many & still does, & thats why andy warhol made her a star...
@artstar19 No one should be idolised wholly, but Edie certainly did have a number of very positive traits one can admire and be inspired by, provided they use her flaws as a lesson.
I Love Ciao Manhattan! I got into Edie when I was In 6th Grade I saw a picture of her in a book about Warhol that my art teacher had laying around her desk. And I instantly was just entranced by her. she wasn't sexy or anything it was definitly her eyes and after that I read up researched and learned all I could I'm 21 years old now and still enchanted with Miss. Sedgwick
I had never really considered the comparison between Edie and Paris, but I can totally see where people get it. They're both washed up wasted trust fund babies who got famous for their obscene spending/partying habits. Though, Edie certainly had more style and was more interesting.

@AshleeLovesMJ I just don't get it, I don't think anything about the movie, with the exception of Sienna's body, was ANYTHING at all like Edie, maybe b/c I was familiar w/ Edie before the movie. Lou Reed said "I read the script & it was the biggest bunch of crap I've ever read, it's amazing how low some people will stoop to make a dollar" Dylan threatened to sue if they used his name in it. Edie did not die the way the movie portrayed, she was married,etc the movie is a insult to her memory

Edie was very perceptive, but most people don't realize that Edie never had a chance, a friend of hers said her Father told her "Edie can't help but be fucked up, bad things happened to Edie", this is her CHILDHOOD. The thing I admire most about Edie is not her captivating eyes, or her cultivated voice, but the fact that she was able to deal with such adversity in the way that she did. She had a unthinkable childhood, she lost 2 brothers in less than 2 years...but she had such PASSION for life!

I guess nothing has changed since the days back than. The Fashion and Lifestyle INDUSTRY is a brutal money making machine by using peoples beautiness for shiny propaganda in order to establish a mass phychosis to make people spend more and more money on fashion- and cosmetic products. They RAPE peoples naivety and play with their minds...Edie is a good example, but there are legions of Edie's out there....and they get more and more! Have fun guys - see you around...

A lot of people cared about her very deeply. Only met her twice, both times were unforgeable, Edie's spirit can't even begin to hope to die. In these films she is portrayed, basically as a pretty airhead. Nothing could be further from the truth. The people delivering this film want to emphasise her methedrine habit and her penchant for the delights of heroine. That she, by virtue of these characteristics, is somehow less that the Reality based Princess she was. Edie was Empathetic beyond time

@harleybunt You MET When her Father drugged her & tricked her into being locked up in a Psych ward when she went home for X-mas, & then bragged to her then boyfriend Bob Neuwirth about what he had done to trick her, Bob threatened her Father w/ legal action if he couldn't speak w/ her in 24 hrs & she arrived back in New York "smiling & completely covering up the discomfort she had experienced at home. She had a certain puritanical way of not letting her blues get in the way of her lifestyle"

@harleybunt I meant to say, you MET Edie twice?! The reason I admire her so is because of the way she handled adversity, losing 2 brothers in less than 2 years, & with her terrible upbringing by a pscyhopath who was told not to have children due to his mental state, then he went on to have 8 kids, threatening his wife's life in the process, just to show how VIRILE he was, hitting on his son's girlfriend's & wives...when Edie caught him screwing the maid, he drugged her & told her she was crazy

@TheRachel33 No, it isn't a cult to anorexia and drug abuse. It's the love and admiration of someone who was very beautiful and talented, a loving soul who was caught up in her incurable or undiagnosed illness. Edie also had the wit to describe what was happening so poignantly, so poetically. Her drug abuse was more of a side effect of her problems than the cause of them, though they certainly worsened her illness.

@Tigerlily21 She was some of that, but so what? A person's greatness doesn't amount to that only, and Edie, from what I have read, was intelligent, very sprightly, and also a kind person, which is of equal importance, at least in my mind. But yes, I idolize her, and a bit too much maybe.

@StarsThatTwinkle That's beautifully put, and probably true, partly. Edie was caught up in this thing that she couldn't control, a world on heavy drugs, a world without direction. She didn't know what to do from the very start. She even said so in "Beauty No. 2". She was so precious.

@MowgliX right, that's exactly what I'm saying. as viewers, we can't all relate to the disorienting lack of control she was experiencing, and techniques such as the multiple soundtracks are an attempt to draw us out of our own sense of control as active participants in the narrative.

I am intrigued by Edie, but kind of the same way as Marilyn Monroe. Obviously they had more going on than what was on the surface, but, I don't know, I think I'm more fascinated by the subdued girl, probably because I can identify with her more. I never understood how someone could be so outgoing and fun and carefree and have everything they could ask for and still hurt. Not saying it can't happen. I just don't understand it, because I feel if you hate yourself, you don't want to show yourself.

Paradoxes like that aren't unusual when it comes to mental afflictions. Narcissists for instance, are totally self-obsessed yet possess very low self-esteem because their sense of self feeds from the recognition of others. Marilyn Monroe didn't care that she was sexy or beautiful as far as her own happiness was concerned, but she knew others did and hence used it to gain the approval she needed so badly for fulfilment. Edie was much the same way, though her personal problems were different.

Thanks for posting this. Is the sound on the film layered like this? It's a bit distracting because I find myself trying and failing in my attempts to follow both stories during those moments. I wish they could have avoided the layering of audio. Although it does give the effect of being in her head or something. I'm just more interested in her stories, than the sound effects.

@lotussypringa I think it may be Bert Stern, because he had an NY apartment, famously shot Marilyn's "Last Sitting", and came onto Marilyn while she was drunk in the said photoshoot. That's just my speculation though. There really weren't that many other photographers famous for shooting Marilyn specifically (Milton Greene is the only other one that comes to mind).
