Factory Girl Page #6

I can't tell what he's saying, but he

keeps talking about Edie.

Just take your pants down.

Andy, critics may love you in France,

but here they say

your work is superficial

and that you wouldn't be

where you are without Edie.

I don't pay attention

to what they write.

I just measure it in inches.

Edie, I understand

you're an artist too.

That was a very long time ago.

Edie's too beautiful

to be an artist.

I think artists should be ugly.

No, Edie's a superstar.

Superstar.

That's crazy.

There's one more thing

on the sidewalk.

Look at that.

Oh, that's what he said.

I got it.

It's like a madhouse in here.

Andy, this is my mother, Alice!

She just flew into town

to help me furnish.

Oh, hi.

You're so beautiful.

It's so nice to meet you.

No no!

Put it over there.

Careful with that box, love.

It's Waterford.

Betsy Johnson-

I know, isn't she fabulous?

She asked me

to be her first model.

Anyway, I've got to go.

Ciao.

Oh, Mum-mum

aren't you proud

Pretty soon money will

be falling off trees.

- I won't need any help at all.

- There's a novel idea.

But, Mom, don't you think that Fuzzy

would get a kick out of all of this?

Oh, please. Your father's so square

he doesn't pee in the shower.

Mum-mum!

Hello?

I think your daughter

is going to be super famous.

And what would

be the value in that, Mr. Warhol?

Oh, well, I think everybody

wants to be famous.

Well, I had much

higher hopes for Edith.

Oh.

You know,

I used to dance twice a day.

I'd do this jazz ballet.

And I'd wear leotards

and black tights

and I was too lazy

to take them off.

And I decided

to go with it.

Divine one,

I am entirely superficial

and I intend to stay that way.

But you, my dear,

you are the real thing.

America's next "It" girl.

We'll put you

under contract.

People started to notice

and it sort of caught on.

You know, the earrings,

the thick black eyelashes-

it was all

a part of the show.

This is Andrea Romando

with the BBC.

I'm here with Edie Sedgwick

at the infamous Factory.

She is known

as Andy Warhol's superstar.

And in New York, she has been dubbed

Queen of Underground Cinema.

Edie, how does your family feel about

you having this title?

They hate it.

They hated the idea

of my doing any modeling

to make my own way.

As soon as I started all of this,

they're sending telegrams

saying, "Oh, you've got to go

model, please. "

At an Andy Warhol art exhibition...

The glamorous Miss Edie

Sedgwick unraveled her long white...

The Plymouth Rock

princess and her commoner companion...

...in town last night,

at Max's Kansas City...

...Hollywood legends...

...the former window

dresser and commercial artist...
