As It Turns Out

As It Turns Out is a poignant family story that offers an intimate look at the life of Edie Sedgwick, the iconic model, actress, and muse of Andy Warhol, as told by her sister with empathy and insight.
Alice Sedgwick Wohl pens this memoir as a dialogue with her late brother Bobby, who died just before Edie met Warhol. Inspired by a clip from Warhol's film Outer and Inner Space featuring Edie, Wohl delves into her sister's meteoric rise and struggles, seeking to understand what made Edie and Andy such fascinating figures in pop culture.
From their childhood on a California ranch to Edie's troubled life in the shadow of their parents, Wohl traces her sister's journey into Warhol's inner circle at The Factory in New York. With a keen eye, she reflects on the enduring impact of Edie and Andy's creative collaboration and the iconic films that captured the imagination of a generation.
As It Turns Out is a thoughtful meditation on fame, art, and family that looks beyond the magnetic image to reveal the complex girl behind the pop art sensation. Wohl's narrative sheds light on Edie's struggles with mental health and offers a deeply personal perspective on the 1960s art world and the price of celebrity.
