Poor thing. Read the autobiography; she didn't stand a chance coming from that family. Her father had a lot to answer for.

[ZenPapageno]

Strong evidence that she was bipolar. Mental illness ran in her family. She was known for having sharp mood swings and anxiety.

There are different opinions about Andy Warhol, but I think most people would agree that he showed very poor judgment in working with someone that vulnerable.

This Video is Sooo Sad!!!! Makes Me All teary, Everything that happened in her life! Poor Girl! so talented an all! R.I.P. Edie

@DaBestTwilightFan Not an autobiography, but a biography. I think jadebrush was referring to the definitive Edie bio called "Edie: American Girl" that was published in 1982.

[MowgliX]

@ZenPapageno I think so too. But she was wonderful. She was a wreck by the time this recording was made, but there was still a spark of brilliance about her.

mk ultra?

[DaBestTwilightFan]

@ZenPapageno i think he stooped soo low to take advantage of edie soo much especially when she was vunerable! i hate andy warhol... he was such a user

[DaBestTwilightFan]

@jadebrush what auto-biography as i really would like to read one?? X

[MowgliX]

This wonderful girl. She is just a little angel up there somewhere now.

listening to this cd is so sad for me. in the early films and screentests there's a brightness, a light in her voice. here she sounds so tired and careworn. she burned so beautifully and sadly all too quickly.

love you, edie. you mean so much to so many still to this day.

I don´t think there was anything "wrong" with Edie. Anyone could end up like her having been through what she had...I think it´s perfectly normal considering the circumstances. I´d be a mess too with that family/upbringing. I´d probably turn to LOTS of drugs to escape those memories. I think that´s quite a normal thing to want to do...It´s probably the only way to escape from yourself, the pain and the thoughts...

[Brendansanatomy]

A true beauty who was destroyed by fame and herself.

That family fucked her up, she had no chance, Andy only contributed to her demise. She is a very smart woman, but she just imploded.

So sad. She's an icon.
