Grace Otto muses on the joy and perils of fame Gracie Otto playing Edie Sedgwick in her new film, Poor Little Rich Girl. GRACIE Otto would be the perfect muse for Andy Warhol, if he were alive today. She fits the part of the eccentric artist's great love, Edie Sedgwick, in a remake of Warhol's 1965 film, Poor Little Rich Girl. "Edie came from a very damaged family but she was the first fabulous superstar that hit New York in the '60s," Otto said. She was abused by Warhol but he gave her what she wanted, which I guess was fame. He also wanted to be Edie Sedgwick. Otto's film was directed by Alex Munt and will have its world premiere as part of the Vivid Festival at Alaska Projects in Kings Cross tonight. "It's more like an art installation than a film, like a time capsule, watching someone," said Otto, daughter of acting legend Barry and sister to Miranda. There's something about her when you watch her on screen. She didn't really do anything. She was herself doing nothing. You can't take your eyes off her. Sedgwick died at the age of 28 in 1971 and, like Marilyn Monroe, the coroner ruled her death was likely caused by an overdose, or suicide. "Edie really had her own style," said the actor. She still influences fashion. When you look at what she was wearing, she was so ahead of her time. Cool and out there.
