[ArikiToka]

she was a beautiful girl, but her story is so sad ;(

[stendhalsyndrome]

shes completely captivating

[MowgliX]

She was addicted and addictive. I love her very much, in retrospect.

[MowgliX]

She was like Cinderella or Tinker Bell! Edie was a little pixie, fairy, sprite or elf!

[MowgliX]

@pheno09 Because she was child-like and naive. And she had a very serious mental instability.

[MowgliX]

Can you imagine how big Edie would be if she had lived in today's media world, with social media, YouTube and what have you?

[MowgliX]

Oh, when she gazes off into space somewhere, and then shoots her sunlight smile with those fabulous dimples!!! How could anyone resist her?

[MowgliX]

@pheno09 Because she was a lot like a child and she was blissfully naive. She never grew up, in a sense. But yes, she did make people feel she needed their help, and a lot of people tried to help her, and some of them probably ripped her off, too.

[MowgliX]

@xXPinkGoddessXx Yes, and most of the time she didn't really have to face reality or deal with things she didn't like. She had money to spend, most of the time, a maid and so on. After the inheritance from her grandmother was used up, and $80,000 was a lot of money in the 1960s, she still had a substantial allowance from her parents. After they cut that by half, she still had charge accounts at delis, stores, restaurants etc. The problem was her heavy drug dependence and mental imbalance.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@pheno09 She wasn't naive in terms of lacking understanding because most people attribute to her a very strong natural intelligence and grasp, but she did tend to ignore the aspects of life she didn't want to face, as a way of pushing her psychological pain into her subconscious. She didn't live with boundaries or in any sort of objective reality, and created the world around her the way a child would. She certainly had many childlike qualities, almost everyone who knew her attested to that.

[pheno09]

Why does everyone say that about her, that she was child like and naive. All I can see is that maybe she ignited in people, the sense that she needs to be taken care of.
