Book Description
She was riveting to look at, a sprite of the zeitgeist, the living distillation of the over-amped vision of New York in the mid-sixties. Like many exotic creatures that Andy Warhol shed his light on, she initially bloomed--became the symbol for all that was hip and stylish--and just as quickly began to disintegrate. Told with unsparing candor and with candid images that capture her at the peak of her Factory stardom, Edie Factory Girl is the short but enduring cultural story of Edie Sedgwick--releasing in time for the film of the same name starring Slenna Miller, and including rare photos of Miller as Edie. David Dalton was just a teen when he became one of Warhol's first assistants, and was present for the arrival of Edie: witnessing her rise, her Factory superstardom, and subsequent unraveling. Like an anthropologist thrown together with a tribe of "wild" people, Nat Finkelstein entered the Factory just as Warhol was emerging as the supreme catalyst of the sixties. Among the freaky menagerie, Nat found Andy's misbegotten princess the most fascinating and enigmatic character of her time, and with a compassionate lens recorded her fragile, fleeting beauty. Edie Factory Girl is a privileged glimpse into Warhol's inner sanctum, via revealing interviews with intimates, friends, and scenesters, in which Edie orbits around the likes of Bob Dylan, Salvador Dali, Betsey Johnson, Lou Reed, Judy Garland, and many more, before departing as quickly as she came.

Book Description
Edie Sedgwick, socialite, model, fashion icon, film star, and collaborator in Andy Warhol's underground cinema of the 1960s. The legacy of Edie Sedgwick as the New York fashion icon (Vogue's 'youthquaker' and Life's 'girl with the black tights') and associate of Andy Warhol is still keenly felt today with the recent homage to her in a collection by Marc Jacobs, and an earlier one at Dior in 2005, and even thirty-three years after her death (then only 28 years old) her image was used to front a successful NARS cosmetics campaign; in short, Edie Sedgwick is the definition of iconic. Factory Girl, Factory Films is the first to explore the relationship between Edie Sedgwick and Warhol anew specifically in relation to the filmmaking and cinema, detailing all 22 films and 3 videos. Gary Needham explores several issues relevant to the study of Warhol and Warhol's cinema, and proposing important new frameworks around collaborative artistic practices, acting, performance, stardom, and underground cinema.

Book Description
The “exceptionally seductive biography” of the 1960s icon as told by those who knew her (Los Angeles Times Book Review). In the 1960s, actress and model Edie Sedgwick exploded into the public eye like a comet. She seemed to have it all: she was aristocratic and glamorous, vivacious and young, Andy Warhol’s superstar. But within a few years she flared out as quickly as she had appeared, and before she turned twenty-nine she was dead from a drug overdose. In a dazzling tapestry of voices—family, friends, lovers, rivals—the entire meteoric trajectory of Edie Sedgwick’s life is brilliantly captured. And so is the Pop Art world of the ‘60s: the sex, drugs, fashion, music—the mad rush for pleasure and fame. All glitter and flash on the outside, it was hollow and desperate within—like Edie herself, and like her mentor, Andy Warhol. Alternately mesmerizing, tragic, and horrifying, this book shatters many myths about the ‘60s experience in America. “This is the book of the Sixties that we have been waiting for.” —Norman Mailer

Book Description
Model, film star, socialite, friend, lover, addict, Edie Sedgwick was the first "it" girl of the Andy Warhol Factory scene and later muse to Bob Dylan. The arc of Edie's life traced the rise and fall of the 1960sfrom idyllic experimentation to dissolute recklessness. After being toasted by the whole of New York City, Edie died alone of a drug overdose in California at the age of 28. David Weisman (with John Palmer) filmed Edie for the last five years of her life in his cult film Ciao! Manhattan. When he recently uncovered lost footage of Edie, David was inspired to create Edie: Girl on Fire, a book and a documentary film that explores Edie's true story. He and coauthor Melissa Painter have tracked down and interviewed many of Edie Sedgwick's surviving intimates, including Danny Fields, Baby Jane Holzer, and Ultra Violet. They also unearthed hundreds of never-before-published photosportraits, professional ad shoots, and heartbreaking snapshots of the girl who won New York's heart and nearly burned down the Chelsea hotel. The book also features a CD with Edie's last interview ever, a riveting account of a rollercoaster life. Sure to be seen as a rebuttal to Hollywood's highly fictionalized film Factory Girl (coming this fall), Edie: Girl on Fire creates an insightful and startling portrait of a woman that nobody quite knew.

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Musicology - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Department of English), language: English, abstract: As an aficionado of filmed biographies, I came across the 2007 released movie "Factory Girl". This girl, who is better known as Edie Sedgwick or Andy Warhol’s first “Superstar”, was familiar to me due to a Warhol exposition I had seen before. Nevertheless, one thing impressed me: besides her platonic relationship with Warhol, another man in the movie turns out to play an important role. It was a man, with whom the “Factory Girl” falls in love with, but is ultimately left by which influenced on her tragically ending way. It did not take long to find out that this film character was clearly portraying Bob Dylan As the biographical movie itself only covers a 90 minute long Hollywood adaption of Edie Sedgwick’s life, I was motivated to learn more about Dylan’s real connection to her, the Factory’s role, and Andy Warhol. Thus, my mission seemed clear: listening closer to Dylan’s albums of the 1960s and checking both biographies as well as related literature in order to find connections between the two artist’s worlds. The difficulty of interpreting Dylan’s songs or arranging the facts one knows about his life made the challenge even more worthwhile. Although the idea of finding a connection between both personalities in his music seemed ridiculously far-fetched during the first albums, I finally hit pay dirt on "Blonde on Blonde". Two songs of the album feature ‘Edian’ characteristics and rumors have been supporting this hypothesis for years. As a result, this work aims on revealing these myths and finding a possible truth between the artist Bob Dylan, two particular songs of his album Blonde on Blonde, and Edie Sedgwick. To begin with, the songs in question (“Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat” and “Just Like a Woman”) shall be analyzed closer. After considering its musical and lyrical value objectively, this work attempts to leave room for a rather objective interpretation. Next, the main part of this work is going to portray the time of the song’s emergence, Bob Dylan’s life back then, and in how far Edie Sedgwick’s life has intertwined with the artist’s world. With the help of time witnesses, I will finally try to separate rumors from facts and give an overview of why I am of the opinion that both songs have been inspired by Warhol’s “Superstar”.

Book Description
The story of the model, actress, and American icon Edie Sedgwick is told by her sister with empathy, insight, and firsthand observations of her meteoric life. As It Turns Out is a family story. Alice Sedgwick Wohl is writing to her brother Bobby, who died in a motorcycle accident in 1965, just before their sister Edie Sedgwick met Andy Warhol. After unexpectedly coming across Edie’s image in a clip from Warhol’s extraordinary film Outer and Inner Space, Wohl was moved to put her inner dialogue with Bobby on the page in an attempt to reconstruct Edie’s life and figure out what made Edie and Andy such iconic figures in American culture. What was it about Andy that enabled him to anticipate so much of contemporary culture? Why did Edie draw attention wherever she went? Who exactly was she, who fascinated Warhol and captured the imagination of a generation? Wohl tells the story as only a sister could, from their childhood on a California ranch and the beginnings of Edie’s lifelong troubles in the world of their parents to her life and relationship with Warhol within the silver walls of the Factory, in the fashionable arenas of New York, and as projected in the various critically acclaimed films he made with her. As Wohl seeks to understand the conjunction of Edie and Andy, she writes with a keen critical eye and careful reflection about their enduring impact. As It Turns Out is a meditation addressed to her brother about their sister, about the girl behind the magnetic image, and about the culture she and Warhol introduced.

Book Description
Nonostante la sua aura leggendaria, la Factory non rappresentava la stessa terra di libertà ed emancipazione per tutti quelli che la frequentavano. Andy Warhol la dominava, ne era il padre-padrone incontrastato. Le donne restavano ai margini: una a una passarono dall’adorazione per il loro “creatore” alla consapevolezza di essere state sfruttate. Isabelle Collin Dufresne, artista conosciuta come Ultra Violet, per decenni va in cerca delle sopravvissute. Il rimorso per la tragica fine di Edie Sedgwick la tormenta: a lei, bellissima e fragile, in-separabile doppio androgino di Warhol, non è rimasta altra scelta che togliersi la vita, nell’indifferenza totale di quella che considerava la sua vera famiglia. Ultra Violet, voce narrante del romanzo, prova a ricostruire quella che sembra la chiave del mistero: l’ultimo film con Edie intitolato The Andy Warhol Story, con un set trasformato in un ring e il girato misteriosamente sparito dalla Factory. Cosa rivelava Edie di cosi compromettente da dover essere distrutto? Per capirlo occorre ripercorrere le indagini di Ultra Violet, che raccontano un’altra versione della Factory e della controcultura newyorkese: quella di Edie e delle altre ragazze, bollate per decenni come pazze e assassine, la cui voce è stata cancellata. Con un lungo lavoro di documentazione, nato dalle interviste a John Giorno, ex compagno di Warhol, Nadia Busato restituisce l’atmosfera elettrica della Factory e le sue ombre. Dopo aver riportato alla luce la storia di Evelyn McHale con Non sarò mai la brava moglie di nessuno, l’autrice torna nella New York del secolo scorso e regala alla letteratura un’importante figura femminile dimenticata.
