Who Killed Edie Sedgwick?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Edie Sedgwick (1943-1971), daughter of one of America's oldest families, burst onto the scene of 1960s New York full of goodwill, kindness and charm. Behind her dark makeup, chandelier earrings and miniskirts Sedgwick harbored dark tragedies about her childhood, family and romantic life. A muse of Andy Warhol, Sedgwick appeared in eighteen Warhol films and added her fashion flair and acting to every piece. Becoming a muse of musician Bob Dylan, Sedgwick's brother remembered her encouraged to abort his baby since he was married. Sedgwick died of a barbiturate overdose after expressing concern for her marriage to her husband, who later battled for her life rights. He lost the fight to Sedgwick's one-time director who insisted Sedgwick was no celebrity during life, and it was only in death she was famous. This attitude towards Sedgwick ignores her contributions to film, art, furniture design and fashion.

Great job. I listen to all of your shows. You’re a fine person and I love your taste.
Aww thank you so much! You're a fine person too.
I think Warhol simply took advantage of the rich and drugged beauty. Also, she was his meal ticket to fame and for a time hers……
Truly a sad story. She was mentally ill and a large prat of the answer is "She killed herself." She had such a bad smoker's cough at the end of her life she would have died of lung cancer before 40 even if she had not overdosed.
Her Parents Didn't Give A Dam About Her Everybody Used This Beautiful Young Woman I Believe If She Had Better Parents She Made Still Be Here With Us 🙏💔
Good video! ❤the beautiful and tragic little girl lost “ Edie Sedgwick RIP.😇🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
@RadioWHP She wasn't aborted, she was removed from the hospital and her daughter was saved. It wasn't Dylans but Morrisons. She lives and is a wonderful girl. Her adoption was privet sealed. She is very much alive and goes quietly often to visit her biological mother. She stays clear of the remaining brother he is as evil.
Winona Ryder would have been good as Edie
Nah she's too schizo
@@RadioWhoPooI agree with you on that 😊
Her eyes …..full of sadness. I heard she near the end, she was no way out for Edie. Her family history add on heavy drugs….her gaze …..stoned out…… she likely couldn’t understand also why these people are heavy smokers too. NY culture ? Yes she did destroy herself.
I would love to read her book, but of course Sienna Miller was so great at Factory Girl. In my opinion…..
:)
A lot of parallels with Ryder’s character in “Girl Interrupted” and Edie, particularly Edie’s numerous stays in various mental hospitals.
She became another unfortunate statistic of people experimenting with hard drugs in the late 60's , some lived to tell the tale some didn't.
Heroin and LSD were seen as just fun drugs to experience but there was sad and deadly consequence to taking those drugs as history shows.
I know because I was there.
I don’t think it was possible to save Edie, too much damage was done by her family. She was too charismatic, too beautiful, I think she would have been used and abused anywhere she went.
You do amazing work. Love your channel
Thank you so much!
Maybe things would have been different had she never met Andy? 💔
Yes, very likely. But they were drawn to each other
Just by your own reporting of the amount of Edie's drug and alcohol use it is apparent that having a baby would not have been in the best interest of a child being born. The child would have been damaged and she would have never been a good mother of even a healthy child much less a child with mental and/or physical handicaps.
Not sure if that holds true for her first pregnancy but certainly her later pregnancies were affected by many drugs.
Now You're God.
That’s really none of your business or place to judge Sharon.
Anybody here besides me actually know her?
Look at Nico and her son. Sad what happened to him
You missed that she was also sent to the st. Timothy's school in Baltimore for anorexia in her teens. Sorry im a huge Edie Sedgwick fan
She was sent there for school, not for eating d/o.
... unfortunately, society and the pitfalls that lie within is the true murderer of Edie and many beautiful and talented people ... sometimes good people lose their focus and their path becomes too muddied to continue ... very sad ...
Well said.
Combined with the childhood/family trauma, this was a big reason she had issues with men and probably caused her mental breakdowns. Her beauty made her a target for men to use her.
Thanks for the video, have take a much greater interest in her as currently nearly finished the book Popism
You are welcome.
Love your videos 🎬
Thank you! So glad you're enjoying them
Well done friend!😊❤
Thank you 🤗
Your audio barely works!
Sorry. Gotta leave.
Like a Rolling Stone is about her, too.
Her husband was planning to separate from her.
9:12 the recent Netflix documentary about Andy Warhol (if it's the one I'm thinking of) was about The Andy Warhol Diaries, which didn't start till around 1977 so no wonder she wasn't mentioned!!
She was mentioned briefly in that piece (just once!) which doesn't do her justice on all she did for Warhol
@@RadioWhoPoo I read the Andy Warhol diaries again fairly recently and I read Warhol's biography when I was a teenager and for some reason Edie Sedgwick barely seemed to cross my radar, I barely knew anything about her until I read a Vanity Fair article on her and then saw the Factory Girl film. Until then I barely knew anything about her. She definitely isn't featured prominently in the Warhol Diaries book.
From the outside looking in, it seems like Andy was a user and tossed people to the side when he no longer needed them. This is why he was so good at reading and predicting pop culture.
Billy Name by his own admission introduced drugs into the factory he even laughed about it during an interview. Thanks Billy, I wonder how many lives you ruined!! As if Edie didn't have enough problems to deal with.
Right! Her group of "friends" largely used and abused her, similar to what happened to Dora Carrington and London's avant garde. It's a sad tale
A painful reminder to most of us that those of us who are abused do not get rewarded with movies and eternalness. 💔
:(
I think there is eternity, in everyone, if only we are good enough to see it
Was it really a reward? I’m sorry that your life included abuse, as it does so many others, as well as my own. But, how awkward to say that “sadly all of us aren’t rewarded…?” That’s seems quite a bit “off” to me. I am in NO WAY interested in minimizing your pain, but I think what you said minimizes and somehow cheapens her pain. If you know Edie’s story, she never made a cent, bc Warhol was a user, and rarely paid anyone for their time or their talent. He was just happy to use whomever he could to achieve his own fame, which he would NOT have done without her. Everyone Edie came in contact with used and abused her.
@@UnoHoo1 I think you read just the opposite into my comment. Yea, like she wasn't around to reap the benefits. 😐
❤ Edie
wow, I found out a lot about her that I didn't know.
Glad you enjoyed!
Idiot judge. Sad to hear about Dylan. A lot happened fast to these kids.
Definitely an idiot judge.
Ahem....one Bob Dylan song, actually. Her Dad, if you know the details....
More than one song.
Always such interesting subjects. Why do you hate Dylan, if I may ask?
Thanks Amy!
Dylan sucks -- sucky music, sucky fashion, treated women badly, considered himself to be a messiah which is anti-Christian. He just sucks. American folk music >> bob dylan
@@RadioWhoPoo I do like his music, which can be an acquired taste, but on the negative side I do understand that he admitted to having sold his soul to devil.
Sold his soul to the devil! That's right!
I don’t know anything about Dylan as a person. His style and voice isn’t for everyone but it’s impossible to deny his songwriting skills or his influence on music.
@@SJ-ni6iy I definitely think you should learn about him as a person. He considers himself to be a messiah just because he can mumble music and is very cruel to women, including Edie Sedgwick.
I’ve seen a couple of these short films…..where’s the vomit bucket? 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢suppose I don’t get it”
Though I thought her sense of fashion was fabulous which was shown on the Vogue cover I think before I was born (1961)
Hey I’m no Dylan fan either you’re not alone …….
It's possible Sedgwick was pushed out to make way for Twiggy, who was far more bland
@@RadioWhoPoo: I agree. Twiggy, while beautiful, was the safe and sanitized version of Edie. Twiggy had a manager and her comings and goings were choreographed and planned. Edie was spontaneous, original, a true force of nature. A Holly Golightly come to life. I so wish I had a chance to know her.
Well this is an interesting vid, gotta say. Lemme observe that I too was surprised at Judge Gecks ruling. I was in court e ery day on that one and i have to say Post was not well seve
Post not well served by counsel my opinion. Weisman a fascinating instigator in a lot of the drama. A brilliant and frustrated genius that didn't give himself - or others- enough credit. I can tell you about Miss Sedgewick and how her beautiful face glowed in the moonlight and how sweet ere her hungry kisses.
Very cool that you were in court for the hearing. Did you know Edie? She was not served well by the court -- very surprised amicus briefs were not filed etc
@@RadioWhoPoo Knew her in the last few years of her life. I was on the set of Ciao! every day and night. We were very close in some ways. She was romantically
inclined and I was romantically perpindicular. I can tell you a lot. Margouleff is starting to forget and scramble some things, but he knows much an is wise.. How to dm?
That tidbit is satisfying enough, thank you :)
Why do you hate Noob Dylan!
Dylan sucks -- sucky music, sucky fashion, treated women badly, considered himself to be a messiah which is anti-Christian. He just sucks. American folk music >> bob dylan
Lololololol I meant Bob Dylan. Don't know how the "Noob" there....lolololololol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lolol
Her Parents Didn't Give A Dam About Her Everybody Used This Beautiful Young Woman I Believe If She Had Better Parents She Made Still Be Here With Us I Hope She's Truly At Peace Now 💔🙏
why do you hate Bob Dylan ?

His lyrics were pretty good. That's about it. @@RadioWhoPoo
@@RadioWhoPoo When you are older maybe you will get it.

@@dianahernandez1709 Bitch what? Go back to fucking Mexico why are you here
Aside from being lovely to look at: can ANYONE tell me what this woman has contributed to art & society ? Really; make me a list of her achievements . Thanks in advance.
LOL make you a list of her achievements? Maybe try searching on your own --- she created her own furniture, her own artwork including paintings and interior decor, starred in and helped direct various Warhol films. Good luck!
She was actually a famous fashion model at one point. She was an “It Girl” and she was sort of the American Twiggy. She became a style “influencer” a la Kardashians when Andy Warhol decided she was his muse.
As far as contributions to art: she acted in iconic Warhol films (obviously).
So she is in a class with the Kardashians ?! Wonderful. get this gal UP on a pedestal - worship her ! Talk about her. Write books about her. LIVE THRU HER. @@scarlettphoenix7024
You’re talking about her. There you go.
I don't like her hairdo.
Her husband was planning to separate from her.
