Who Killed Edie Sedgwick?
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.
