From Beauty To Beast

Edie Sedgwick is one of the most amazing icons to me. Despite her car-crash lifestyle, I will always love her, she just had that 'je ne sais quois' of a true superstar. She was one of the most enchanting people to have ever lived yet she was so deeply damaged. But her outlook on the world was one so very fascinating, she was just so misunderstood. She was ruined by Warhol and his factory yet she clinged onto it all so tightly because she thought it was all she had ever desired. Anything that was nothing was everything to her and she lost the only thing that meant something...

She was so sweet and charming like in the first video below and she transformed into a tragic wreck, her voice in the second video is so haunting. She sounds like an elderly woman but like many of the greatest people of her time she died so young at just 28.


Edie Sedgwick, from beauty to beast...

 There is a movie about Edie's life called 'Factory Girl' where she is played by Sienna Miller, whose performance is outstanding, she portrays Edie perfectly. It is one of my favourites and definitely worth a watch!
