I've always had a fascination for Andy Warhol and the people he surrounded himself with. In a bizarre dream I once had, I envisioned myself as the reincarnation of Edie Sedgwick.
I finally saw the film "Factory Girl", and was blown away. Very interesting to learn that Edie fashioned herself and her style after a poster of Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffanys". I had done the same thing in my youth.
While a completely tragic figure who died at the age of 28, Edie was still transcendant and quite unforgettable. Sienna Miller portrayed her brilliantly. It's a difficult film to watch, in some regards, since her decline was so rapid and so heartbreaking. But I still recommend the film to anyone who has an interest in the era.
