Edie Sedgwick - The Factory Girl


Edith Minturn "Edie" Sedgwick
(April 20, 1943November 16, 1971)] was an American actress, socialite, and heiress who starred in several of Andy Warhol's short films in the 1960s.




Poor Little Rich Girl is their first film.
But some people said, Warhol ruined Edie's life. So they were split.






Sedgwick often combined the medications with alcohol. On the night of November 15, 1971, Sedgwick went to a fashion show at the Santa Barbara Museum, a segment of which was filmed for the television show An American Family. After the fashion show, she attended a party and was supposedly attacked by a drunken guest who called her a heroin addict. Sedgwick phoned Post, who arrived at the party and, seeing that she was disturbed by the accusations, took her back to their apartment around one in the morning. On the way home, Sedgwick expressed thoughts about the uncertainty of their marriage. Before they both fell asleep, Post gave Edie the medication that had been prescribed for her. According to Post, Sedgwick started to fall asleep very quickly, and her breathing was, "bad – it sounded like there was a big hole in her lungs," but he attributed that to Edie's heavy smoking habit and went to sleep. When Post awoke the following morning, Edie was dead. The coroner ruled Sedgwick's death as "undetermined/accident/suicide"
