It's so lovely to practice eye contact with these "screen tests"... it's like a conversation... And the way she blinks softly revealing her beautiful eye make-up just melts my heart! 💖
She was heavily damaged goods before, during, and after her time in The Factory. Abuse, heavy drug consumption, and mental illness are a recipe for an early exit from life. She couldn't be saved but that doesn't stop us from wanting to save her, even now.
OroborusFMA : Well said. If I could somehow go back in time to attempt to save her from her misguided choices in life I absolutely would--despite the odds likely being close to 100 out of 100 that the ending would likely and tragically be the same. She is just so compelling, even today.
Nobody is capable of knowing if she could have been helped with the right approach and support. I fully believe she could have been. She was obviously suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder and its very treatable now with the proper care.
I believe that some very dark things went on at that Ranch when she was a child! This could have been why her personality was so fractured, and caused the BPD.
Its weird to say this, but I feel like you can just reach out and touch her, anyone else get that feeling? Almost like shes frozen in time. Thats the beauty of photography and cinematography it just captures the beauty forever
A lot of the comments on here remind me of this Marilyn Monroe quote: “When you’re famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does. People you run into feel that, well, who is she who does she think she is, Marilyn Monroe? They feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you, you know, of any kind of nature and it won’t hurt your feelings. Like it’s happening to your clothing....You’re always running into people’s unconscious.”
Mary Alice Weis: Thank you for the reasoned and insightful comments. Many valid comparisons can be drawn to Marilyn Monroe. Both were breathtakingly beautiful, obviously. Both were actually intelligent as well-Marilyn’s home was filled with classic literature instead of fashion magazines and “frivolous” tabloids as many would guess. Edie attended Radcliffe ( the women’s equivalent to Harvard before they went co-educational). Those who knew her well advised that she could converse on any number of wide ranging topics with ease and substance. Lawrance-yes drugs ravaged her mind and body over the years, and no, drugs would not have been my personal choice of the way of dealing with the tragedies and likely mental illness she faced in heher short life either.
Most of Andy's work was about the passivity of the viewer. He may have never thought about it in these terms, but he was talking about how people passively consume images and things. He didn't buy into the idea of the artist as some sort of visionary or larger-than-life person. His role as an artist was to comment as little as possible, whether explicitly or through his technique. For a while, this was a subversive message in itself, but he soon showed signs of not being able to take it any further than he already did. Then all he could really do afterwards was repeat himself. When we view his work today, we often bring a lot of our own ideas to the experience of his work. When this was first shown, the reaction was more likely to be "okay, here's somebody posing for the camera, so what?" But hindsight regarding Edie's tragic life gives our experience of seeing her today a poignancy that was completely unintended. And Edie *was* gorgeous to look at, and it *is* a nice opportunity to gaze at her for a while.
Mariana Honorato: I agree with you...I miss her, but never really knew her (did anyone really “know” her for that matter?). I have heard several others say that when she spoke with you it was as if you were the only person in the world that existed at that given moment. Even people meeting her for the first time conveyed this impression of Edie. Personally, I get this feeling just watching this...I could gaze into those eyes forever.
As soon as you are an acknowledged artist pretty much everything you do turns into art. Even if it is something like having someone else starring into the camera for three minutes. What a masterpiece!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!
I often wonder how many people could do this ... could sit in front of a camera for three minutes. And she's not self conscious and is totally unaware of how beautiful she is.
Andy Warhol was so unfair with Edie... He was like a live's thief. Thats my opinion and it doesnt mean that i dont respect all the art work of the factory.
tous ...Aujourd'hui il le font seuls ,il n'existe pas de Warhol ,pas plus de groupes qui imposent ces jeunes a se compromettent ils le font très bien ,seul ,parceque c'est leur génération speed drink qui les illusionne....Le rien .
Yes, this is how Andy's "screen tests" were designed to be. But have you ever seen a more ridiculous excuse for a "screen test"? For that matter, have you ever seen a more ridiculous excuse for a pop-culture star and "artist" than Warhol? He is one of those people who only could have existed when and where he did; in any other place or era, he would have been a nobody. And he knew it. Hence his latching on to Sedgwick, among others. What a sad day for her.
What an imbecilic comment. You don't know what your talking about. At any rate, your "opinion" is worthless. I submit that YOU are "nobody" and making stupid comments on RUclips gives you self worth.
She was so calm there. It's as if she could just sit and stare at the camera for hours, not moving, only blinking and breathing. Beautiful.
The Marilyn Monroe of the underground
OMG I never had think about it...
she was much better
@@adf841 So?
More like Jean Seberg.
I miss her everyday but i don't even was born when she was alive, that's crazy. I love her so much.
Yes crazy. Missing a person you hardly know.

we all do. that's the magic of Edie- she was/is transcendent. forever
She was just gorgeous
Can you imagine how amazing she would have been had she survived andy warhol!!!
She did! She's alive in ME# Twin shit.
she has the most incredible bewildered eyes, and that little mouth so vulnerable...
Makes a predatorial being's mouth water, eh?
Such a weird fucking comment holy shit
She just stares. It is eerie -- like she can see me.

Wise words
+Mary Alice Weis very true
very nicely put

SangareMP: thanks for posting. Cheers!
so much tragedy in those eyes
Yes :(
Ah that's a great comment. "Marilyn Monroe of the underground".
Ironically this has more like than the original comment itself
@@toma6068 i dont think so
You are exactly correct. He was a vampire.

Most beautiful woman ever lived...

The most beautiful woman that ever lived.
I wouldn't say that. She's cute though, she has more of a mystique about her.
If not her than who?

This would be so cool to show on a projection camera in your window for Halloween :)
There's virtue in silence....
Audrey and Eddie are the most beautiful women in the world to me!
Like a flower so fragile and fool of light.

this was just a screen test its only art because edie made it art not andy. tho i am not denying his brilliance.
I added Nico - Fairest of the Seasons to this video and made it amazing
Has anyone found other clips of this screen test?
The face....of God
Andy Warhol would definitely become a tik-tok star.
I wonder if MowgliX will return again this year to compliment the silence...
Can you explain why there is such a cascade of circles on those old films ? 0:05 And what is the name of this phenomenon? What is it called, anyway ?

Her beauty is so modern somehow... she doesn't look like she belongs to 60s
edith minturn stokes faces
Everyone who's viewing this should cheque out the movie "FACTORY GIRL", the tragic story of rich kid Sedgwick. Sienna Miller is great!
Play at 0.25
She looks like Electronic pop artist Grimes (or vice versa)
Not identical but I see the resemblance. They could be sisters.
omg I knew she looked like someone !! I can see it.
Andy Warhol was so unfair with Edie... He was like a live's thief. Thats my opinion and it doesnt mean that i dont respect all the art work of the factory.
