Poor Little Rich Girl - Edie Sedgwick - Part 1/7

[MowgliX]

At 03:13, Edie says "fuck you". Probably the first time a female said that in a motion picture. Of course people used language like that in 1965, just not publicly.

[blacktarrio]

Shut Up!! We're missin the movie

[teddygirl15100]

umm



[anapao89]

so the out of focus you can see it on youtube!! damn!

[evakaneva87]

I wish I were a person, for which, after my death, everybody says: "DEAM, I wish I could of known her!"

[MowgliX]

@evakaneva87 None of us will be, probably. We'll all be blips on the radar screen of history, then fade away instantly. But Edie was one of those people you would want to go back and rescue, because she was a cult star.

[dillinger9999]

I thought this was a music video lol

[aquarius6420]

lol "FUCK U!" my fav part in this 1st part.....

[MowgliX]

@aquarius6420 Yes, and I wonder if Edie was the first person, at least female, to use that expression in a motion picture. She did say "fuck" a lot...

[MowgliX]

@aquarius6420 Yes, I believe Edie was the first one to say that in a movie. The first female to do so anyway. At that time you just didn't say it in public like that, especially if you were a fine girl like Edie was.

[aquarius6420]

lol "FUCK U!" my fav part in this 1st part.....

[NunuInvincible829]

dammit i can't see her face, thank you for uploading this though i wish i could see its not your fault.

[fielawinston]

@NunuInvincible829 - It was a glitch in Warhols camera... unintended but left for artistic purpose? i dont know

[illbetomorrow]

Andy Warhol is a no-talent hack. A lifetime of profiteering off of wealthier people who thought he was making some ironic statement on American culture. Ugh. He makes me mad for at least thirty minutes following exposure.

[illbetomorrow]

I will say in his defense, she left the factory with delusions of grandeur, Edie aside, I STILL don't like him.

[MowgliX]

@illbetomorrow But he was making an ironic statement on American culture. And he gave those other people a means of expression. If you don't see that, then maybe Andy Warhol's art is not the ideal thing for you.

[MowgliX]

Edie is ridiculously cute in this film. She is terrific and so wonderful. Watch as one of her sisters call her up...

[PeterMusicEater]

her voice is like silk

[MowgliX]

@PeterMusicEater That's a wonderful way of putting it! I love it.

[MowgliX]

@PeterMusicEater I love her voice, it's so addictive.

[MowgliX]

@PeterMusicEater Yes! So well put! Like the finest silk.

[TheSilentPhil]

Интересно,откуда люди такие раритеты берут?Большое спасибо,хоть таким образом можно прикоснуться к небольшой части жизни Edie.Мне сейчас столько лет,сколько ей было когда она умерла,и я примерно в том же положении,может и я уже скоро,наверняка...

[thiizzkidddd]

@TheSilentPhil yeaa of course of course...

[jcrossi56]

She was a goner but I think Andy could've done more...

[jarileigh]

It becomes clear in section 4 if you are impatient!

[madcapbelgrade]

amazing movie...

[MowgliX]

I love Edie. I want to go back and save her!

[laurenluvzcbas10]

I wish it weren't blurry :/

[liviaa582]

@laurenluvzcbas10 but that's part of the wonderful imperfection.

and the imperfection makes it incredibly fascinating. imo.

[caballobronco]

jajaja  garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[viznseer9]

?? i guess so

[bluet49]

she has a wicked sense of personal style. too bad you can't see it it waste of time shit film.

[MowgliX]

I have not researched this extensively of course, but I believe Edie might have been the first person in film history to use the words "fuck you". She says "fuck" at least once more in Poor Little Rich Girl alone. :)

[badsign1980]

and then they will hate you, because they cant undertsand art, or make art, hate is the ignorants finest art, like a tiger, like a shinning diamond, like hemlock

[spulian]

I like her voice

[elilo13]

where did you get this?

[SuperBunyon]

This is would be like youtube in the 60s and 70s. They didn't have it and few films were made as now. There certainly is much more today that there ever was. Art is timely. In otherwords a lot of it actually has an expiration date. But like some good wines, art holds its value into the future in many cases. In the art world once is enough.

[chaseduran]

I love how people always call boring pointless shit art, only because they don't understand it. Having said that, I appreciate this film for what it is and that's about it.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@chaseduran Boring pointless shit IS art, depending on how you're willing to look at it. Whether it's good art or not is an entirely different matter.

[chaseduran]

@xXPinkGoddessXx Art is boring pointless shit? If you can look at something objectively and see it for what it is, you don't have to be willing to do anything, except maybe ignore the mimes of the world who can't help but call this art.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@chaseduran Okay, I worded that badly. I meant that boring pointless shit CAN be art and vice-versa, all depending on how it's viewed. The only real, tangible thing that distinguishes art from object is perception.

[chaseduran]

@xXPinkGoddessXx I believe you.

[aranzabot]

edie still with us on youtube(L)

[frank02111]

I was in high school in 75 when I saw Andy warhol Frankenstein.he also made a girl Frankenstein and it was the first time I saw a coule fucking on a stage with hardones and penetration.. Thank god I am straight today!!!

[Noralicious83]

Andy Warhol is creepy he's scare the shit out of me :0

[Bongogato]

Maybe Warhol was a great artist but he has a problem with the lenses of the camera...

[mixxiegurl]

@Bongogato ya the entire first half of the film is comletely blurred due to a problem with the lense that they didnt realize until afterwards.

[MowgliX]

Haha, she said "fuck you" at 03:13! And later, at 03:49, "fuck" again. It was probably the first time in movie history someone used that word, except in some other underground movie or early porn film maybe. This girl was so different in many ways. Too bad the picture and sound quality is so bad, otherwise this would be excellent. I like the background noises, especially the propeller aircraft.

[sweethands714]

What is the purpose of this film?? like i like what Andy does and how he trys to portray his art but i never get what he means by everything

[MowgliX]

@sweethands714 Since when does everything have to have a meaning? Why not just sit back and enjoy the ride? Art can be something in itself. Real art usually is.

[ByBleeker]

it's blurry because there was a problem with the lens.

[klykt]

Wankhole was a shit. If this is art my flowerflys will piss on me in slowmo....

[rbd7]

did she know she was being filmed? she is awfully quiet. she was a really pretty girl an inspiration for many, to bad she died before I ever got to meet her

[missmarie273]

uhhh depth of field please???

[YoungEvelington]

You can't spell, you have wrong information about Edie and that whole comment offended me.

[yourlostlittlegirl]

Andy and Edie saved my life from destrcution by giving my the creativity to film art

[gina888warhol1]

@yourlostlittlegirl

thats good

[Beatles100109]

how do you get this film?

[katecorned]

i adore you for uploading this <3

[viannafashionwhore]

was she really molested when she was a child !?

[dannycefc]

apparently so both her father and brother tried 2 seduce her, her father claim her 2 be insane They gave her so many tranquillizers she lost all feelings.

she confessed all this 2 ultra violet

[upsidedownfrontwards]

@dannycefc but her brother was gay and her own dad killed him after finding out, which is why she held such a close relationship with andy. (cuz he was gay also)

[JO4KIM]

Hi.

Are you sure that's true? about her father seducing her? I know she said so in Ciao Manhattan, though I read that the only scene Edie really had to act was the part about her father. Everything else had she experienced. So are you sure? Maybe my source is incorrect. ty. RIP Edie.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

What I read was the only scene she *improvised* was the part where she talks about her father. I believe David Weisman or John Palmer said that. She also claimed in the audio tapes from the last year of her life that both her father and one of her brothers tried to seduce her, but to no avail. Her brother Jonathan said her father did hit her when she caught him making love to a neighbour, so it may be true.

[jsmog]

Thanks for noting this...Sienna Miller did do a fine job of learning Edie Sedgwick's accent and mannerisms, but Edie was nobody's victim but her own. Look on YouTube for a conversation she has with Warhol...you hear two equals discussing how to make a movie, not the codependent relationship so many imagine (and Edie herself played up later.) I went through an addiction to speed and saw many Edies, brilliant beauties who burned out. She died of a stupid mistake, but lived the life she wanted.

[Redbirdgirl88]

i too, have had a battle with addiction, and you do get caught up in things and are numb and not you to the full potential..

[viannafashionwhore]

but even in the special features where they interview some people from the factory they said andy warhol used her then tossed her aside as soon as she became addicted. but I am not disagreeing with you that she has been screwed her whole life or that I know her and that even if any of us did she would forget us

[imperialsteroid]

yeah, i'm not trying to be a hardass or anything (unlike my -2 rating from angry users) because i love edie and i've read her biography by jean stein, but i also love andy and what he's done for art and i just hate when people shit all over him. he is very innovative and edie is very iconic.  i just think many people just see factory girl first and that's like the worst place to start.

[Redbirdgirl88]

it's true that alot of people know her only through 'factory girl' and haven't 'researched' her like or me, but at least the interest is opened up. And do any of us 'know' her truly anyway? No.

[reeseslightning11]

i never realized how much sienna miller sounds like edie! such a tragic story she was.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

Andy should have made the film 'Sleep' with Edie instead of whoever else he chose.

[wicked3lovely]

andy was the biggest asshole. edie was the most beautiful creature of her time.

[butterkutter79]

he was indeed. very superficial man.

thats why he is popular. he only cared about fame, art and fortune.

he did not care about people or their feelings.

but thats the fashion/music/art world.....is about being selfish and not caring about others

[darroni123]

Fortune favours the bold

[UnicornsNeonKisses]

@butterkutter79 IDIOT.......PURE IDIOT. YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FASHION, ART, MUSIC, OR EVEN PEOPLE.

[butterkutter79]

so true. he was an asshole indeed. edie was amazing. so genuine and simple

[MowgliX]

Beautiful Edie, sad Edie, tragic Edie.

[Eimearize]

I love both Andy and Edie. They were both superstars in the 60s. :]

[giannireb68]

Sometimes I think being an artist actually bored the shit out of Andy. He really would have preferred to be a living, breathing work of art, but didn't feel he was beautiful or interesting enough to pull it off. That's why he filled his Factory with kids like Edie and the rest.Nearly all young, gorgeous, and complicated--and all too troubled and disordered and undisciplined to do much beyond make themselves the "work'. Warhol just sat back, amazed, and then picked up the camera.

[Eimearize]

I like to this that Andy didn't really need fame, and it didn't need him at the time. But, whatever happened, and whatever he did just had a link with fame. Because, that's what he liked. The glamorous lifestyle. Everything Edie did just screamed glamor (even the drugs, in a way). So, there was an obvious connection between him and her.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

Truman Capote said that Andy wished he could have been Edie, or at least anyone aside from himself. I do admire that despite his insecurities, Andy embraced who he was and found power in his introversion and voyeurism instead of imitating those he admired.

[TheMichaelO]

I wish I had a time machine<33

[Lisa13245]

Me too!

[giannireb68]

Declassed rich WASP kids. Cheap cameras. Amphetamines. The Sixties. Fucking righteous. If I only had a time machine.

[BusinessLunch]

Thanks for the insight Mr. Obvious.

[giannireb68]

I didn't leave that comment for you, whoever you are. I left it for myself. I have no idea who you are and couldn't care less. I only even mustered the energy to respond to you because of the Adderall and vodka schedule I am on. Enjoy the privilege.

[FunFridays]

My parents were seen at the Factory and Studio 54. I totally agree with you. I see pictures of them and wish I could go back in time and experience this. Nothing compares to their experience, crazy.

[ZenPapageno]

@giannireb68 Warhol was Czech and Catholic. Wein was Jewish. Sedgwick's family was Protestant. The term WASP is redundant because there are no black Anglo-Saxons. Get a time machine or read.

[Gmancrap]

Uh... no. These were pretentious, upper middle class white kids who had the money to buy nice cameras but thought it would be "deep" to film something in a shity camera.

Andy Warhol is a phony and I can't stand his art. It has no meaning. No quality control.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@Gmancrap I always find it funny people say things like this when Andy himself would have been the LAST person to call his work "deep". Edie too never understood "art for art's sake" and just considered what she did at the Factory messing around. She would have laughed at how she has been elevated to the status of a cult idol. So how exactly does that constitute as "pretentious"? Sometimes insults say more about the user than anyone else.

[Gmancrap]

Give me a break, you know damn well Andy thought he was some kind of art god while living. I don't know to much about Edie but I'm sure she thinks that this is some kind of elite movement if you were to ask her.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@Gmancrap Yeah, I'm sure someone who repeatedly stated that anyone could produce his work would think of himself as an "art God". I'm also sure someone who called Warhol's Factory scene "bullshit" run by "faggots" thought of it as an elite movement. Of course, when people feel as though they're supposed to be grasping at something profound and aren't able to do so, they'd usually rather criticise it rather than re-evaluate their own preconceptions. It's just easier that way.

[chrisbayley01]

@Gmancrap this is the most ridiculous statement you could ever say about Andy Warhol.

[mrcheekycheeks]

@chrisbayley01 but its pretty clear Andy was somewhat of a selfish narcissist. Edie was his muse, but she he used her for her money,which she spent on him and his factory. He even asked at her funeral " I wonder who's gonna get all her money", and someone said " She doesn't have any money Andy, she spent it all on you, . Their relationship stopped because some time after she starred in many of warhol's movies and asked to get paid as her parents were not giving her any more money he said no.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@mrcheekycheeks How did Andy "use Edie for money" when his films weren't making anything in the first place? Edie may have been queen of the underground, but as far as commercial success went, that meant zilch. Edie was broke because she blew her inheritance carelessly and didn't want to be gainfully employed, how is that Andy's fault? The real reason Edie left Andy was because once the VU and Nico came in, there was little left for Edie to do, and she became involved with Grossman et al.

[mrcheekycheeks]

@xXPinkGoddessXx its his fault, because even if andy wasn't making money on his moovies he was making a hell of a lot of money on his "art work", he should have at least been fair and gave her some money for doing a job and being a role in his movies. If he told her upfront she wouldn't make anything if she was in them, its a different story, but he didn't. It's because of her partly if not mostly his movies are immortalized too, which if you knew anything about andy warhol was what he wanted.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@mrcheekycheeks How do you know Andy ever promised Edie money? She certainly wasn't participating in his films for financial gain at the time, even though she did start demanding it later after she blew her inheritance. You're forgetting the reason anyone wanted to hang out with Andy in the first place; it wasn't because he was rich, it was because he was famous. Edie gave Andy a subject to film and he have her a chance at fame in return. That was the real exchange between them.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@mrcheekycheeks Also, what exactly was "his fault"? Edie's downfall? You're saying that if she had been given more money she would have actually saved herself, despite the fact that having too much money available and no sense of how to spend it was what supported her drug habit and destructive lifestyle in the first place?

[mrcheekycheeks]

@xXPinkGoddessXx also yes I know he wasnt making millions at the time he first knew eddie, but he was in the public eye and making money still. Also by the time Eddie was asking him for money, he was well off. Its not only his paintings but his films that made him seen as the artist he is, so whether he made zilch on him really doesn't matter, he should have given her what he owed her. It is also a stone cold fact that at the beginning Eddie put a lot of money into his factory, not all was drugs

[SellinCrackToKids]

@mrcheekycheeks if you're going to act like you know all there is to know about a topic you should at least be able to spell the subject's name correctly...Edie**

[mrcheekycheeks]

@SellinCrackToKids OH NO!!!! Please anything but the spelling! Say anything but my SPELLING! LOL.

I find it very hard to take any constructive criticism from a guy whos name is "SellinCrackToKids"...........­........  Yea

[mrcheekycheeks]

@SellinCrackToKids You would think you might be worrying a little more about your morals, then my spelling.....

[SellinCrackToKids]

@mrcheekycheeks 2 comments in regard to 1 post, I must have hit a nerve. Firstly, my screen name is a personal joke and in fact has nothing to do with my morals. Secondly it's "THAN" not "THEN".

[mrcheekycheeks]

@SellinCrackToKids thanks for that. Honestly how would anyone know your name is a personal joke, how could you blame me for reading that as it is. It's a cold world out there, ignorant people have names here on Youtube that are worse then what your's say, and they mean it. I'm so glad you were able to find a spelling mistake. No, no nerves hit Im just replying like you are :) Have a good day. Oh wait, I'll do this for you, its "I'm" not "Im" right?!

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@mrcheekycheeks He was making money yes, but he was spending it all on his artwork. The idea that he was rich during that time is fantasy revisionism on the part of people wanting to glamorise that time period. And as I said, money wasn't the reason Edie was drawn to him or the idea of collaborating with him. She didn't expect payment from him and only demanded it later because of her financial trouble.

[NightVision9]

@mrcheekycheeks

which is exactly my point, an unbelieveable manipulative c***, where he got his nickname 'drella' but there is no doubt that he is bad at art, he has changed the way everyone thinks, and that itself makes a good artist. Edie on the other, was a drug user. She spent all her money on drugs and alcohol, Andy wasnt making much money on his films, Edie blew all of her money from her wealthy family, that wasnt Warhols doing. Edie wanted to become a superstar, well look now, she is.

[schmitty3]

edie is the only reason i can watch these movies

if she wasn't in them, they wouldn't be worth watching

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

I actually like that the part where Edie is not talking is blurry because it would almost seem awkward if it wasn't.

[ASHURII2]

love edie sedgwick

[norvernbrd23]

such a beautiful woman but Andy Warhols breathing is a bit freaky esp at the beginning when she is sleeping sounds like he is perving

[countinghrs]

I thought that was Chuck Wein.

[rechita]

is he breathing actually?

[katinlove]

thanks for upload this

[LasBandidas03]

Edie Sedgwick is a really interesting person.Shes really naive.I think shes the inspiration of the drug-adickt women there days...

[vomitonthestereo]

is this SUPPOSED to be in crappy quality?

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

It's explained in the video description:

"When the rolls were processed, they were completely out of focus because of a problem with the camera lens. They re-shot the two long takes, adding it to the first reel so that the first 33 minutes of the film are completely out of focus"

[gina888warhol1]

i hear andy breathing heavy

[gina888warhol1]

so pretty

[adriantrench]

strange how she orders no food, just liquids

[rocknroll015]

Thank you for putting this up! I've been wanting to see it for a long time.

[lounakin]

lol... the user comment for that film, on imdb is: "Focus Andie, Focus!"

[romarina]

haha, andy didn't realize the problem with the lens in the first scene

[againstelliot]

they shot this on two different days. the first reel they realised was out of focus so they did another take. andy then decided to take half from the first & half from the second for the final film.

[romarina]

Now I understand why her make up and hair looks so well. Thanks.

[carmenveinii]

do you know that warhol never payed edie fo any of these films? reportedly he onlt paid he $50

[123daph123]

I completely agree, her story and Andy Warhol's fascination with her is really interesting

[logantaylor777]

Thanks so much for posting! I find Edie Sedgwick fascinating, she's such a tragic beauty.
