CAST Edie Sedgwick, Eden Cale, Andy Warhol

Synopsis

Model, film star, muse, socialite, icon. Edie Sedgwick was the very first “it” girl of the Andy Warhol Factory scene. The arc of her life traced the rise and fall of the 1960s recklessness. After being the toasted by the whole of New York City, Edie died alone of a drug overdose in California at the age of 28. She was both the harbinger of celebrity culture and someone who stood entirely outside of it, an artist who painted life, bravely and spontaneously, with her own hand. —IMDb

In Edie: Girl on Fire, many wonderful photographs and videos of Edie Segwick are presented while Sedgwick herself talks about her life from the first time she lost her virginity to the time she died from drug abuse. There is no narration other than the audio tapes. And this documentary short is interesting for that reason. We can understand Sedgwick's perspective a few years before her death more by watching this.
