Film Fest Remembers Edie: A lot of people couldn’t handle the ’60s and Santa Barbara’s poor little rich girl Edie Sedgwick was one of them. Edie always ran in first gear, and in New York she hung with Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan, modeled in Vogue, appeared in Life, and was dubbed Warhol’s Girl of the Year in her early twenties.
