Director George Hickenlooper's biographical drama charts the meteoric rise and subsequent fall from grace of Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller), an ambitious starlet with a beautiful face who becomes the muse of the one-and-only Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce). After dropping out of college in 1965, Edie heads for New York City and meets pop-culture icon Andy, who turns her into the toast of the town. But glamour and fame come at a price.
