Edie Sedgwick

Actress / Model (person) / Socialite / Film Actress | * 04/20/1943 († 28, 11/16/1971) | Santa Barbara, California (United States of America (USA))
Edith Minturn Sedgwick Post (April 20, 1943 – November 16, 1971) was an American actress and fashion model who was one of Andy Warhol's superstars, starring in several of his short films during the 1960s. Her prominence led to her being dubbed an "It Girl", while Vogue magazine named her a "Youthquaker". Sedgwick broke with Warhol in 1966 and attempted to forge an independent acting career. However, her mental health deteriorated from drug abuse and she struggled to complete the semi-autobiographical film Ciao! Manhattan. Sedgwick abstained from drugs and alcohol after meeting her future husband, Michael Post, and completed filming Ciao! Manhattan in early 1971. Post and Sedgwick married in July 1971; she died four months later of an overdose at age 28. ()
