Edie Sedgwick: New York’s "It Girl" and Andy Warhols Muse | It-Girls Uncovered 

I just love this echo effect in the video, gives an ideal atmosphere I think

It works honestly

I think it is perfect. It is a little haunting.

New subscriber! I actually liked the echo effect. Didn't know it wasn't intentional. It fit well with your narration of Edie's story. May she rest in peace.

The echo is a haunting tribute, only adding to the beautiful tragedy of misunderstood muse.

Does a fool like you know who Andy Warhol was?

Isn't edie related to Kevin bacon's wife?

Yes they are related

Yeah unfortunately I've noticed that is a recurring trend in his life and art career...

more like they used him. he gave them his platform. They didnt give him much that he couldnt get from the next freak or beauty. Do you think he is gonna use the same muse for years & years? that would get very tired. For both parties. They both need move on. Sadly without Andy most of them went onto nothing or death. Cause they didnt really have much talent. Like Edie. she was pretty & engaging but thats not a talent.

@Catherine Gearhart, behind every successful man there's a woman 😉. I'd like to add to that saying: behind anyone successful, there's support. Someone who believes in them, family and friends.

Both beautiful women used. So cruel. And that's why you shouldn't think rich people are happy. Her family sounded awful and abusive. Poor girl

@@AS-wj1du oh yea, anyone who calls their father "Fuzzy" has some deep seated family issues going on. (What the...)

After she passed away, Warhol claimed to not even know Edie 😔

Great observation.

Warhol was a talented artist. Sedgwick was a compelling muse, albeit a young woman with no self discipline or discernible talent beyond her incredible charisma. It's w hy we're still talking about them 50 years after the fact!

And they tried to say rich people were good parents. Most times they neglect their kids

@@AS-wj1du The physical, mental & sexual abuse edie endured was heartbreaking.

Creepy family for sure. Stein/Plimpton's book is great.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! Yes I believe she was so influential in fashion and styling especially! She has such a unique look that people are still plucking inspiration from to this day ☺️

Was factory girl with sienna about her?

​@@AS-wj1du Yes, Factory Girl is about Edie. 🙂

I agree! There have been other great strong women leads in action films as well. Jennifer has said that she misspoke and that wasn't really what she meant. It doesn't sound like her. Usually she is quite funny and self-deprecating.

@@aksez2u In real life there are no strong women with guns in hand and killing bad guys. In real life there are only fearful women who use a weapon solely to defend themselves and nothing else. Men are always exposed to danger when we are policemen, soldiers, firefighters, astronauts, miners, airplane pilots, etc... Action movies will always be MEN's things because in real life men are the ones who are always involved in the line of fire (wars, shootings, fires, natural disasters, etc...) Men by nature are beings of action and women by nature will always be passive beings in absolutely everything. The current Feminism is just a very funny joke that consists of wanting to masculinize the woman so that she becomes a man (tomboy). 😂

@@capitanfuturo594 TLDR - Just enough to know you are a true pissant. 🤣

@@aksez2u Your brain is so lazy and that's why you don't like to read. Now I understand why women don't even know where the Mayan pyramids are 🤣

@@capitanfuturo594 seriously, I have no idea why women would want to be police, soldiers or firefighters. Leave that shit to the men and keep being the ones that graduate at the top of your class in high school and go on to college and graduate more than men. In my high school yearbook all top ten GPA spots were girls. There were 900 students in my graduating class. (You kinda feel bad for the boys, like they're being left behind obviously, but you don't need good grades for those jobs you just mentioned so who cares lol) Ladies, PLEASE leave those jobs to the men! You're not strong enough. I say that all the time! If anyone approaches you as a woman to do those jobs, run like the wind the other way to go be a CEO or doctor or lawyer etc. Leave construction to men, mining, painting, hanging sheetrock, chasing down thugs, running into burning buildings...all those over worked underpaid thankless dangerous af jobs. God bless those men lol. Let them be cannon fodder for other wealthier men don't try to get that job ladies. All those hard ass bs jobs that don't pay dick that'll get even the strongest man killed? Yea, let men keep them! 😆 Lol women don't even need men to protect us anymore if we go get our own 45...you'll blow a hole through two men at once! Lol What man can do that for you? Not one. But your gun can. Go get one! Don't be scared! You can walk anywhere you want, wearing whatever you want at night with a 45 in your pocket! I do it all the time. And you just walk different when you know you can kill anyone that tries to fuck with you. You walk....honestly? You walk like a man. Lol and it feels fan fuckin tastic. But anyway, I completely agree.

You are seeing clearly ! man what a horrible person

And also can be argued that’s what many people don’t understand was largely the point of his work.

Wow didn't that that. Horrible man

Her story is tragic and a warning of the pitfalls of fame

The channel @antiheroines has a great video on Gia!! I agree her story is super fascinating

@@mariaconway405 I knew Jean passing when I lived in New York in the 80s she was a party girl

knowing her I do agree that her story is fascinating she was attractive Street kid turned Mega supermodel

She was a supermodel

She sounds so similar to Eugenia Cooney. It’s almost scary close how much they have in common. Down to dealings with Social Repose, this ages Andy Warhol. Creepy I wish more people would realize

Wow that is so sweet of you to say, I’m glad you think so! I worked really hard on it, I really adore Edie and I wanted to do her justice 💛

SAME AHHH!! Omg I have been saying this for YEARS. My dream for years has been to direct a biopic of Edie starring Suki

​@@FinalGirlStudiosYou should do it!!! I never really liked the Sienna Miller film (can't remember the title now). I just subscribed bc I love Edie and this was very well made...you captured her essence in a beautiful and respectful way ❤️

Factory Girl was my favorite movie was I was younger

Terrible movie, bad writing but Sienna did a good job with the terrible script she was given

Santa Barbara is the most beautiful place in the United States, to me!

And her siblings deaths

Yes I think she was! The title is mostly just to have an eye catching title. Perhaps I should do a video on Evelyn as she was true first “it-girl” ☺️💖

@@FinalGirlStudios you should! I'm completely in support of that idea! 😀

Evelyn was prior to Edie. As I'm sure there was someone prior to Evelyn. As long as New York has existed there's been a woman you COULD call an "It Girl" there. But the first woman to be referred to as an "It Girl" was actress Clara Bow in the 1920's. Clara Bow was the original-and ultimate-“It” girl. Born on July 29, 1905 to a family living in the Brooklyn slums. So the first woman called an "It Girl", even though she was known for her association to Hollywood, was still a New Yorker! 😊 "It" referring to sex, after she starred in the silent film "It".

@@Janellabelle yes! You are absolutely correct on that! I actually knew that too ...grew up watching the old silent and flies ect with my dad back in the day. I never actually saw "it" as I can recall but I knew all abt Clara. I heard she actually passed the title on to Marilyn

Follies. Zeigfeild follies

Yeah, one or two of her brothers commited s…ide because they were gay and that was a nightmare for people like her father.. “old money” … Rich family yet no one actually cared about her and her siblings. Only the public image

Bob Dylan didn't use her. There was nothing to use. And how could he be jealous of her? He was one of the biggest stars in the world when he knew her. He had the whole world at his feet. Edie wasn't anywhere in his league.

@Tom Carl trueee. Well not that there was nothing to use 😳

Please.... Bob Dylan had it and more... nothing like that for Warhol. He was a bloodsucker he totally rode on the attractiveness and the draw of others , even a soup can to rise Supposedly Bob Dylan really wanted her to get away from all the drugs Warhol, The Factory freaks She couldn’t

All kids had issues? Take a look at the parents. She had a trust fund but so what? The demons in society who pretend to be better but are the worst

I’ve seen her name pop up a few times in the comments and I’m super interested in doing some more research on her! Thank you for watching and for the idea ☺️

Thank you so much I appreciate it 😭💖

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!!💖☺️

The thing about Edie ... I´ve see a lot of people put her down ¨she was an addict, skating by on her looks, etc¨ when in reality she was an exceptional artist in her own right with a deeply penetrating mind. You can see a bit of this here. Who is asking, and pondering, the real questions? She is. She is the only one who expresses anything of substance within the clip. And this was not unusual for her. In everything I´ve seen and read about her she looked deeply beneath the surface to ponder the bigger picture. Would LOVE to have heard her thoughts on things had she lived to a ripe old age. Wise beyond her years.... RIP Edie

Ah thank you so much for your kind words!

Rolling Stone is NOT about Edie! Damm, it was written earlier than the brief encounter of Dylan/Edie.

I read Femme Fatale was about her as well ❤

Rasputina has a great cover of "All Tomorrow's Parties" (my fave band)

@@blueviolets52 Yes! ☺️

@@victoriadiesattheend.8478 I'm going to have to listen to it. I've never heard of them but it's going to be fun to discover a new band☺️

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I’m glad you enjoyed ☺️

Thank you so much for watching!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it 💛

Thank you so much 🥰

Wow what a compliment! I love Winona, thank you 🥰💖

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment💛 I love Edie so much too ☺️ xx

Thank you! Also I love your profile picture

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I’ve adored her for years as well, and I definitely agree having dinner with her would be such a lovely experience, she seemed like such a vibrant person to be around

Me too her interviews and the way she talks is just beautiful. She was truly a fantastical beautiful innocent soul stuck in a world that kept hurting her. I wish more people would remember her for her art, dancing and sweet soul and look past her addiction because it was the smallest part of what made up her fascinating personality.

100% there with you. 👏👍

factory girl was such a good movie but made me fskw about Andy not gonna lie.

Rich people are the worst monsters. It's about perception. They're usually demons and treat their kids awfully too

I can definitely see that! Both have that captivating and unique “it-girl” energy

Welcome!! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 💖☺️

His daughter, can't remember the name is very similar to him, a baby Edie Sedg, then

I see it!
