What is So Enticing About Edie Sedgwick?


This story, She Was To Hip for the Room by Paul Wilner, was published at Obit-Mag.com 2 years ago. It has received thousands and thousands [and thousands] of visits since it was posted and continues to rank in the top ten of Obit's most popular stories. Is it her image? The way she lived? The way she died? Andy Warhol? I've always been intrigued by her transformation from hippie-nymphette to shorn-platinum-haired underground movie star. What's interesting is that most visitors come to the story via a Google image search… Maybe that's it.
