Andy Warhol on Edie Sedgwick

← Back to Andy Warhol Profile
“She had a poignantly vacant, vulnerable quality that made her a reflection of everybody's private fantasies.”
Andy Warhol
“Sort of Egyptian, with her head tilting in just the right, beautiful way. People called it 'The Sedgwick', and Edie was the only one who did it — everybody else was doing The Jerk.”
Andy Warhol
“She was also a compulsive liar; she just couldn't tell the truth about anything. And what an actress. She could really turn on the tears. She could somehow always make you believe her — that's how she got what she wanted.”
Andy Warhol
“One person in the sixties fascinated me more than anybody I had ever known. And the fascination I experienced was probably very close to a certain kind of love. now. But her name is still going. It seems incredible, doesn't it?”
Andy Warhol
