Factory Girl imaginatively unfolds the comet-like rise and fall of ’60s “It Girl” Edie Sedgwick, the blazing superstar who came to define both the glamour and the tragedy of today’s celebrity-obsessed culture. Sedgwick appeared to be the quintessential American princess, with her blue blood, her trust fund and her Harvard education, not to mention her ethereal beauty and vivacious charisma. But she was also a lost and fragile little girl; and when she met up with the counter-culture anti-hero Andy Warhol, everything changed. Suddenly Sedgwick found herself at the center of the Pop Art universe bursting with sex, drugs, style and rock’n’roll – and a mad rush for fame and fabulousness that was destined to spin out of control. Starring Sienna Miller, Guy Pearce and Hayden Christensen. Tickets are $7.50.
