The Jean Sten book is the definitive Edie biography, except when it comes to photos.
-
@janipink That's absolutely correct! But Edie was definitely the it girl of the mid 1960s.
-
@MowgliX The Stein book is quotes from people she interviewed. Dalton actually wrote about her. I think people should read both books.
-
@xXPinkGoddessXx It was Nat Finkelstein who called Edie a "stupid cunt". Which is a terrible things to say about someone like Edie. But Nat is dead too now.

Jean Stein's book is the definite Edie biography. That's the one. This book, on the other hand, adds nothing except for a few nice photos. I'd say it's very lightweight and exploitative book about a girl who was exploited by everybody all her life.

@gina888warhol I don't understand, the movie script is untrue for sure, what is this? and there were books written about Edie by David Weisman (director of Ciao! Manhattan), the book "Edie An American Biography" by Jean Stein, & anything is more truthful than that horrid movie "Factory Girl" which seems to be written by someone who dislikes Edie, & a script that no living person (Dylan, Reed) threatened to sue & called it the worst thing he'd ever read, respectfully, wanted anything to do with!

@janipink That's right, and the second one after Clara Bow was Louise (Lulu) Brooks.

It doesn't look important in this ad, but it seems to be a well-documented book about Edie in 1965. Co-author Dalton is an experienced journalist, wrote a book on Warhol at the Factory, and was a Warhol assistant when Warhol and Edie were at the Factory. Gerard, Billy, Ultra, etc. interviewed about Edie. It's careless about some things it takes from the Stein book. Unlike the movie, the book is about Edie as part of the Factory people.
