Edith Minturn “Edie” Sedgwick (April 20, 1943 November 16, 1971) was an American actress, socialite, model, and heiress who starred in several of Andy Warhol’s short films in the 1960s. Edie Sedgwick was born in Santa Barbara, California to Alice Delano de Forest (19081988) and Francis Minturn Sedgwick, (19041967) a philanthropist, rancher, and sculptor. She was named after her father’s aunt, Edith Minturn, famously painted, with her husband, Isaac Newton Phelps-Stokes, by John Singer Sargent.When Sedgwick married Post in July 1971, she reportedly stopped drinking and abusing drugs. Her sobriety lasted until October, when pain medication was given to her to treat a physical illness. She remained under the care of Dr. Wells, who prescribed her barbiturates, but she would demand more pills or say she had lost them in order to get more. Sedgwick often combined the medications with alcohol. On the night of November 15, 1971, Sedgwick went to a fashion show at the Santa Barbara Museum, a segment of which was filmed for the television show An American Family.

Merci à vendettavlol pour cette vidéo qui nous permet de mettre un visage sur la “belle héroine” de Fifty-Sixty. Alors, qui est la “pretty sixteen”? J Fauque s’est visiblement inspiré de la vie de Edie Sedgwick, jeune manequin et comédienne californienne qui fut un temps la muse d’Andy Warhol,la compagne de Bob Dylan et l’inspiratrice du groupe rock Velvet Underground (Nico, la chanteuse du groupe et maîtresse de Lou Reed aurait pu la jalouser), le vers “Vas-y, joue-le ton dernier rôle” fait référence à sa fin tragique, quand, droguée, elle tint son propre rôle dans “Ciao, Manhattan”. Seule réserve, Edie Sedgwick n’avait pas 16 ans quand elle rencontre Warhol en 1965, mais 22 ans. Anorexique, droguée, ruinée, “jetée” par Andy Warhol, elle meurt à 28 ans. Sous cet éclairage, la chanson d’Alizée prend une dimension plus…tragique!!
