Description

Edie Sedgwick: A Life of Glamour and Tragedy Born into a wealthy New England family, Edie Sedgwick's childhood was marked by a brutal yet glamorous father. She fled to New York, where she became an instant celebrity, known to everyone in the literary, artistic, and fashionable worlds. Her life was one of excess and extravagance, but also of vulnerability and tragedy. Edie's relationship with Andy Warhol was complex and multifaceted. He saw her as a twin soul, a creature he created for his films, and she became the superstar of his world. However, this fame came at a cost, and Edie's life was ultimately shaped by the very glamour that had brought her to the forefront of society. This biography, written by Jean Stein, is an American fable on an epic scale, capturing the power and essence of a decade like no other.
