15 more seconds about Edie

Edie Sedgwick was a rich socialite-turned-Andy-Warhol-hangeron-actress. Her story is perhaps poorly told in the recent film Factory Girl. As ads and posters for the film put it, “When Andy met Edie, life imitated art.”

By the time the movie hit DVD, the producers had opted for
“Sexy. Uncut. Unrated.” You gotta think Andy laughed his wig off over that.

And what's more inspiring than our innate instinct to dive to that lowest common denominator?
