Poor Little Rich Girl Part 4/7

BW/Sound/66 mins at 24 fps
Edie Sedgwick and Chuck Wein (off screen)
(filmed March-April 1965)

Andy Warhol:

"Whatever anyone may have thought, the truth is I never gave Edie a drug, ever. Not even one diet pill. Nothing. She certainly was taking a lot of amphetamine and downs, but she certainly wasn't getting them from me. She was getting them from that doctor who was shooting up every Society lady in town." (POP108)


Poor Little Rich Girl was originally conceived as part of a series of films featuring Edie Sedgwick which Warhol started shooting in March 1965 called The Poor Little Rich Girl Saga. It included Restaurant, Face, and Afternoon, as well as this film. The title is the same as a 1936 movie starring Shirley Temple who Andy idolized in his childhood. (FAW20)

The film takes place in Edie's apartment. Andy and Gerard shot two rolls (approx. 70 mins) of Edie as "she lay on her bed, talked on the phone and walked around her room, showing off her clothes and describing how she had spent her entire inheritance in six months." (L&D221)

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 as Edie wakes up, orders coffee and orange juice, smokes cigarettes does her excercises, takes pills and puts on make-up - all done in silence, except for the background music of an Everly Brothers album.

@chunkmasterchunk You've been manipulated by the movie "Factory Girl". alot of people felt like this after seeing it, especially since not many knew of Eddie or the Factory before seeing the film. Andy was an artist, he promised nothing but fame to his canvas', and it certainly wasn't up to him to make anyoes life better. People choose their own mistakes. Eddie was no exception. She chose this for herself and took it too far, as every other celebrity does.

@TheNeonlights102 "What Have They Done to the Rain", a beautiful song by The Searchers. Go here to hear it!

watch?v=w0Ke__hAoy0

The song is about atmospheric nuclear testing. The version by The Searchers came out in 1964, one year after the Limited Test Ban Treaty came into force.

It was originally entitled "Rin Song" and was released in 1962 by Malvina Reynolds. See Wikipedia for more details.

They are both so incredibly elegant. Edie is like the finest princess out of a dream you can ever imagine.

@KINGKAOS518 I've had a huge crush on Edie ever since the second I first saw her some years ago.

[MowgliX]

@fsanf164 Yes, it reminds me of Cinderella or something like that. Edie was a bit like Cinderella I guess... Terribly disturbed and suffering, but high spirited and so very much alive. For a short while... a very short while. Bless her, she was wonderful!

@LizzyLouFiftyTwo Edie*

@LizzyLouFiftyTwo The mark on her forehead may be what you're referring to. It was caused by a car accident before she appeared @the factory.
