Warhol, to find an excuse when he wanted put Edie in the Vinyl's set, told to a hungry Gerard Malanga 'no problem, she's look like a boy': I just don't think so! She was a wonderful female creature.

If anyone is the Edie Sedgwick of our time its Lindsay Lohan NOT Paris Hilton.

They're both rich. That's the extent of the comparison. facts are, Edie is still being remebered and intriguing people 41 years after her death. Paris will not be remembered because she didn't do anything. You say Edie didn't do anything? She was a life artist. She was in Warhol films which are still being discussed, analyzed, and watched. Paris was in a reality series that is forgetable. Edie had an orginal style, Paris copies others.

Please don't compare Edie Sedgwick to Paris Hilton. She had more problems in her 20's than anybody. She knew the meaning of hardship despite the fact that she had money. But that was all she had. She didn't have a loving family. An abusive father. Her brother committed suicide. Her life was full of pain and becoming an actress/artist/socialite was her way of escaping.

@MowgliX Yeah but i find it very hard to respect that - She may have become painfully aware of the cult of celebrity by the end as it spat her out the other side but "she couldn't see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns" while it was whirling round her - I often think that it might actually have been a social experiment by Andy - it fits quite nicely with the whole pop art Concept i think - Andy was fascinated with morbid concepts and was using film as a new medium : )
