Edie Sedgwick, Santa Barbara Girl
By Ann Magnuson
Of course, perhaps the most famous Santa Barbara native-turned-bohemian was the legendary Edie Sedgwick. Poor Edie. Gorgeous. Privileged. Photogenic. Doomed. But you gotta love her comments about the fashion world in the clip above. Naked as a lima bean? Yup. Speedballs kill. Below is a trailer for Ciao Manhattan, a real classic. Whoa. Drugs. Don't do 'em kids. At least she got to return to Santa Barbara and found some real love in the end.

Edie was actually quite intelligent...she played herself to perfection in Ciao Manhattan as well as seeing through the facade that Warhol was .......she was also very open about her drug addiction;quite an interesting person whom everyone still tries to emulate...her whole look was her own design...

She was gorgeous. Just saw "Factory Girl" and thought Sienna Miller was perfect. The film was better than I thought it would be.

yeah I liked Factory Girl....not to keen on the christain Haydensen playing Bob Dylan but sienna Miller was great...... I have a great copy of Ciao Manhattan which I think you can get anywhere now...its got a great directors commentary....apparently she got a breast job ( they look great)...its funny as much as the Warhol scene is talked about they did not really do much but do drugs and hangout at probably really great parties ...sure it was the whole underground lifestyle a sense of freedom and being a rolling stone....but even as she said it was going nowwhere and it preyed upon the naive and beautiful that fell into Warhols web ......anyway...
