We think we know Edie Sedgwick, Warhol muse, Factory superstar, icon of the 1960s, a comet who flamed out too soon.

As It Turns Out is Edie''s story told from a different point of view - that of her older sister, Alice. As Edie''s fame was in the ascendant, Alice was living a completely different life in Manhattan, far away from the Factory and the Chelsea scene. Then, many years later, chancing on Edie''s image in a clip from Andy''s film Outer and Inner Space, Alice was moved to reconsider Edie''s life and try to figure out what made Edie and Andy such iconic figures whose image and collaborative work have endured for decades.

Wohl tells Edie''s story, from her privileged and isolated childhood on a California ranch to her escape first to Boston and then to Manhattan, where in 1965 she had her firs
