The Tale of Edie Sedgwick (tribute to Andy Warhol's superstar)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2017
- This short, less than 6 minutes film shows the story of Edie Sedgwick life after her arrival to New York City. Birth of the star, her life with Andy Warhol in the Factory, drug addiction, her problems, electric shock therapy treatment and her wedding. Unfortunately the end of this "tale" isn't happy like in children's books.
It was created for one of classes at Intermedia faculty, Academy of the Fine Arts in Kraków. I don't own anything. I used found footage. I made animation out of photos from Vogue or photographers like Stephen Shore. Audio is from Ciao! Manhattan tapes or original videos.
Edie, You are an angel, up, in the silver clouds.
Rest in peace, Little Miss S. - we will never forget you!

"i blossomed into a healthy young drug addict" she says while laughing. i think it's such a shame that she was able to accept the fact that she had a problem and yet still couldn't find anyone to help her. rip edie :(
In her circle, it was the norm, unfortunately.
You will never be forgotten, little Miss S. And no one will ever be more beautiful than you. Ever.
A total original...captivating...can't take your eyes off her...a shooting star burning brightly, until.....gone too soon.
Edie always had a smile on her face regardless of the turmoil in her short life. She may be gone but never forgotten
Style icon... Artists muse... and one of the first performance artists(great dancer)...I absolutely adore her 💜
Fab video. Imo, Edie was/is the most beautiful woman that ever graced this earth. and there is something so magnetic about her. I saw "Ciao Manhattan" back in the late 80's without knowing much about her at the time, but she became sort of ingrained in my head and i wanted to know more about her. But so much of her life is filled with pain. like the abuse from her father at an early age, then andy (the evil puppet master) whom she trusted and thought was her friend used her too. and when he didn't need her or want her around anymore, he acted as if he never knew her. the footage of her wedding day, she looks radiant, like she finally found true happiness and true love. but her marriage, and life, was short lived due to her addictions. RIP, sweet beautiful Edie. hope you're dancing in the heavens...
Beautiful comment, thank you for that! I always feel so sorry for her, because her very short life was very sad. Most of people she met wanted to be her friends, because she was beautiful and rich. They used her...she was paying for expensive dinners and trips. When she had some serious problems nobody tried or wanted to help her. One guy even said that he was mad at her, because when she was living with him (she didn't have money at all during that time) she was taking his tooth paste...How could he said that?! Very cruel. And yes, her father...a MONSTER! Abused all the Sedgwick children (two brothers commited suicide), he was betraying his wife and made fun out of her. Tragedy. Her husband, Michael Post really cared about her, he understood her and he wanted to help her. Rest In Peace, Angel Edie. We will never forget you. The good die young, because God needs them in Heaven.
Her marriage was a bit of a sham now wasn't it. I have yet to find the footage. I'd like to see it
Is there on earth such a beautiful and perfect face?? No
First time I saw Edie and I am in love ❤
a beautiful angel...girl on fire....silver superstar.... we will always love you!!!
Excellent!
Forever young and beautiful
What's really sad is that she got clean and was doing really well until her brother mentioned that he thought she would be dead by that point, and she looked so hurt that he didn't believe in her. Two weeks later she was dead (I'm using his own words). I'm not blaming her brother. That's so sad, having no support system. People need to be careful what they say.
My heart breaks when I think of her wedding and how her face was shining of light and happiness and joy that day... :( It's SO unfair that she died just a few months later... I mean, when you see how she was at her wedding, her beautiful smile, her laugh, she looked so over her sad past, so ready for a new life... I'm a christian (kind of), but I have to say that I really wonder sometimes why wonderful magic inspiring persons (artistic geniuses or icons) like Mozart, Novalis, Rimbaud, Edie, River Phoenix, who walked the earth with such grace and poetry, had lives so short and/or cruel fates...
What do you mean..kind of a Christian?
It's tragic they still do shock therapy. My stepfather had it and never recovered. A shell of a man now.
Well let's say I often feel like Jake in Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" chapter ten, when he is praying in a church in Spain and hoping someday he will be a better catholic than he thinks he is ;) @@danilaroche1156
Really sorry for you and your stepfather.@@danilaroche1156
Warhol never cared about her. He could have helped her, but he didn't. When his gay friend was killed after jumping from a window at the Factory, his only regret was that he wasn't there to capture the moment on film.
Cold Cold Ethyl... He was as cold as an icy frigidaire. Like his mum.
what a complete narcissist
He was super gross. Now when I see his name I puke. He disgusts me.
He was hollow inside, you can see in his eyes, words and even in his shallow souless art.
@@rafaelmoro9114 Agreed. He also said that exact same thing about Edie Sedgwick as well. He wanted someone to film Edie when she overdosed. Guy seemed like monster.
Nice post LMS, thank you... Such a beautiful living doll, to such a sad and bitter end... She could have accomplished so much.
WL Gary
Thank you! Yes, I agree 100% with you!
Many thanks, well done tribute!
Thank you!
Truly she was fascinating ,how frustrating there are no more Edies around to cope with this world, I want to be in the 60s ,we all know now where we could find her ,she wouldn't feel lonely for a sec
Oh lovely, a nice tribute to her, i enjoyed this thanks for uploading.
Thank you! I am glad you like it!
I Did am so glad that people like me and you still love and remember her. I can remember when " Factory Girl " came out, a lot of people went through their Edie faze, LOL.
She will always be in my heart
Yes me too, you probaly have already seen the one on "RUclips called " The Real Edie " It is really good gives a better insight into her life and what she was really like. If uv not seen it watch it you'll love it.
I have a first edition Edie a American biography and I read every now and then, I will never part from it, to me it is my little piece of Edie.
This looks amazing!
Clara Machado Thank you so much!!! 💗
Edie had all the signs of a victim of sexual abuse, Warhol just didn't know it when he met her. She was a pill freak long before she arrived in New York. The Factory Scene just made access to the drugs all the easier. She was a compulsive liar, scratched her arms, hoarded cosmetics and clothing and drugs, shoplifted even when she had money, etc. Enough problems for five people.
OroborusFMA Everything you wrote about her in this comments is from Warhol's book 'Philisophy of Andy Warhol from A to B and back again'. He wrote in this book that Edie was a liar etc., but I don't think that she was lying in Ciao! Manhattan Tapes and movie.
No, what OroborusFMA wrote in a comment is from one chapter from Andy Warhol's book: "Philosophy of Andy Warhol from A to B and back again", you should read it and you will find out that it is from this book. Andy called Edie Taxi in this book, but it is clear that he was writing about her.
I've read it before, but the parts about: "scratching her arms, hoarded cosmetics, clothing, drugs and shoplifting" are 100% from Andy Warhol's book.
Ok, I don't want to argue with you, but anyway I recommend to read Warhol's book too if you haven't read it yet. Have a nice day.
Little Miss S. I swear she's talking about Gia Carangi. The book/movie about Gia is called "American Girl", and she was a model, addict, cutter...... VERY SIMILAR! VERY similar! As for me, my favorite book is " EDIE" (sorry, idk how to underline on this pc of crap!) Lol
It's a pleasure to visit your kingadom.
What a true original. Something you’ll never see again.
This is beautiful
Thank you! Your comment means a lot!
Little Miss S. Of course! I think you captured her perfectly in this.
Back then...it was sooo cool to be a druggie,as it was added to,being a hippie,or rock star,or glam rocker.It was SEEN AS A PLUS!However,we know,she in hindsight,was truly lost,and sad.Ever reaching out for love n acceptance If she just believed in herself,and her original essence...she could of been a true super star!Who could of inspired.Insead of a cautionary tale!Sad.Very sad.
AWESOME!
Nova Super Thank you!
Kinga, it’s you!!
i can relate to her
Unfortunately a lot of people can. People that want to heal, can heal.
What caused the scar between her eyebrows ? Fuzzy caused most of that beautiful girl’s problems. . and Warhol took advantage of her money and social status. She was such a talented artist ....
RIP Edie you were so real and your pain overwhelmed you and Andy Warhol used your pain for his shitty movies. But you made them look so beautiful
That's what narcissists do to people. They pretend they are there for you but they're really are just using you. Until you're used up and then they discard you and move onto the next shiny object. A lot of these people around. Best to study up and heal any wounds or you are vulnerable, like Edie.
@@brianwalsh1401 Perfect description of (what I've read) Warhol. I don't think Edie was the only one that suffered Warhol's treatment, sadly. Bob Collacello, a now accomplished writer, wrote the best biography I've ever read about Warhol (and I've read most of them) entitled Holy Terror. Definitely a must read for anyone interested in Warhol. It's been out since the late eighties-early nineties so it may be difficult to find, however. My copy is so old that the pages have yellowed and the spine is broken, but it's still an amazing read.✌️
@@bianca952000 Yeah I got into the whole Warhol thing for awhile and came upon poor Edie and what was kind of happening in one of the 60's bastion of craziness at Warhol's studio. I think having been such a lost person in my life from my growing up in my own dysfunctional family I always felt I could've gotten sucked into a cult or with a person like this. Then I figured out I had been married to a covert narcissist and really had a similar situation happen to me sans the glamour. These people destroy you if you let them. I'm lucky I got out but brought down but was able to get some help and work on my issues poor Edie seems to eventually have succumbed to her back round as many people unfortunately do whether their rich or poor.
Thanks for the book recommendation. I might take you up on it. I've read a few books about these types of folks. Their are sooo many out there, the latest being Amber Heard. Thank you for your response.
That was a terrible thing he said but at the same time maybe she took it to seriously. I’m sure he wouldn’t have said it if he knew it would crush her.
dear god brang bak the sixtys !!!!!!!
I miss her
That was decent, beautiful woman. X
She destroyed her potential. Queer Warhol and others used her. She came from wealth, but her parents failed her. Her two brothers killed themselves, forever scarring her.
poor girl.used and abused so much.that film caoi Manhattan was fuckin terrible how could they put her through that.it must of been mental torture for her doin that talking about her life and what happened with her brothers and father.i m sure she's at peace now.
I agree, poor baby. I always feel so sorry for her that her life was very sad and people who she met always wanted to use her and her money, but when she died nobody went to her funeral. In Ciao! Manhattan movie and tapes I hear saddness in her voice, she was so tired and wasted. That's a tragedy. I am sure, little angel Edie is finally happy in Heaven. I visited her gravesite on Thursday and left her hand-sculpted little bird and white flowers in a pot. The Oak Hill Cemetery is a peaceful place.
That isn't actual footage of her getting an ECT??
No, it's not real. A reenactment from the film Caio Manhattan
I think we're in the same superfan group on Facebook! lol
I am an admin of "Conversations with Edie Sedgwick"! I am glad you enjoy!!!
Wow it's been 4 yrs. I've always supported your incredible work to keep Edie alive 💜 you're truly a blessing and quite talented. ✨
I have two google accounts lol. I hardly use that one anymore.
she looked so hot with short platinum blonde hair ❤
Fairy Tale and didn't she capture with her impish charm
Her daughter didn't die and her DNA report is public on Facebook and it wasn't Bob Dylan child.
Her daughter? Edie never had any children.
@@FWatts what ever you want to believe. She know's more than anyone. Eight DNA reports later. What ever you whis to believe. Just like her brutal twisted family she hide from. You honestly are clueless as the world. She know's more than the world know's. Seeing the family she was adopted into are all accomplished in fashion, jewelry designe and named after her world famous illustrator aunt. She wants nothing to do with Edie's twisted abusive family.
@@gioiaferrante there's no need to be nasty about it, what makes you an authority? I never claimed to be one, I'm just going by the Jean Stein autobiography and every thing else I've ever read about Edie over the last 30 years. So you say she had a daughter, how do you know this, where's the proof and what's her name?
@@FWatts crickets....after Troll Baby Zen spews her nasty spittle she goes dark. Typical of people who boast and have no backing to THEIR LIES.
Little Steven and the Pharohs” Sun city”
All I know is “we’re not gonna play” there
Cos everybody knows....
She's a femme fatale
necro rap shit something in this reminded off some past memories lost in a shower
What in the world happened
What do you want me to explain?
The eyebrows were too much
oh, really? as opposed to now??
They were ICONIC!
What a waste of a young life!
She COULD'VE been a super star, unfortunately heroin took away her looks then her mind and then lastly her life.
I think what would've been better is if she kept trying to heal her wounds and lead a happy life.
@@brianwalsh1401 She did
I wear sweats" leotards I guess they call them back then) The Chelsea Hotel scene reminds me of the movie Sid & Nancy" they were high on heroin burned the place down with nothing in their eyes
Edie,I never knew you,bet you were something!
Fun glamour girl but you truly like I needed them when I was messed up on hard drugs descent friends!!
Not loved for just your $ & your sexuality.
I adored your unique style soothing voice.
Seeing those ECT treatments were def triggering .
I had 8 Of them at least myself.
I literally felt sick watching this.....
Edie,
You were a star.
I look up at night.
If I see a very bright one looking at me...
I feel,
Its you.
Rest in peace Edie
Pain is gone.
I'm so sad your life was so tragic you were used like yesterday's papers.
