Edie Sedgwick

Edie Sedgwick is an odd lady, mainly because she's really a dude. A dude who wrote an entire album about celebrities. And then some. You can't make this stuff up. But gimmick or no gimmick, this album grooves. If only Haley Joel Osment's parents knew what was being created in their little boy's name.

Andy Warhol was often blamed for Edie Sedgwick's descent into drug addiction and mental illness. However, before meeting Warhol, Edie had been in mental hospitals twice and came from a family with a history of mental illness. She was only close to Warhol for about a year, from approximately March 1965 to February 1966.

Sedgwick spent hours each day on her makeup. "She would drive us insane sitting there with her makeup case, just endlessly, endlessly doing her makeup while everybody was starving and late for the party and wanting to go and becoming so irate," said Bibbe Hansen, another Warhol protégé (and, for the record, Beck's mom). "Yeah, it took a couple of hours, but when she was done, she looked fabulous."

In 1966 Warhol and Sedgwick had a falling out and the two parted ways. Warhol continued to make art and later began looking for property in the Hamptons. Though many people know him to be primarily an artist associated with the Campbell’s soup can, Warhol had an incredible business sense. Others would argue he was obsessed with money. This was atypical for his profession of the time and had rented a house in Southampton but grew tired of the area quickly.

Sedgwick's paternal grandfather was the historian and acclaimed author Henry Dwight Sedgwick III. Her great grandmother, Susanna (Shaw) Minturn, was the sister of Robert Gould Shaw, the American Civil War Colonel. Her great-great grandfather, Robert Bowne Minturn, part owner of the Flying Cloud, is credited with creating and promoting Central Park in New York City.[9] And her great-great-great grandfather, William Ellery, was a signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence.[10]
