We think we know Edie Sedgwick: Warhol muse, Factory superstar, icon of the 1960s, comet who flamed out too soon
As It Turns Out shows Edie from a different point of view - her older sister, Alice's. As Edie's fame rose, Alice was living a completely different Manhattan life, far removed from the Factory and Chelsea scene. Many years later, Alice chanced on Edie 's image in Andy Warhol's film Outer and Inner Space, moving her to reconsider her sister's life and figure out what made Edie and Andy such iconic figures. Who exactly was Edie, that she fascinated Warhol and captured the imagination of a generation?
Alice tells Edie's story, from her privileged but isolated childhood on a California ranch to her escape to Boston and finally Manhattan, where in 1965 she had her first fateful encounter with Warhol. As It Turns Out is a meditation on the girl behind the irresistible image and the culture she and Warhol ignited. Throughout this reappraisal of Edie's life, Alice Sedgwick Wohl tries to find a deeper answer to the question: What was the thing about Edie?
