This is a rough portrait study of Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol's muse and star in a series of short films he produced and directed, one of which was titled, "Poor Little Rich Girl." Edie herself was born into a wealthy ranching family in Santa Barbara, California. Around the age of 20, she made her way back East and eventually to New York City, where she found work as a model and met Andy Warhol. Sadly, she suffered from mental health problems, and died at the age of 32 of a drug overdose.
