Alice Sedgwick Wohl (inset), 91, has written an unflinching late in life memoir about her sister's luxurious but brutal childhood on a ranch in Santa Barbara and her sister's descent into bulimia and opioid use, which began when she was 13 years old when her father was arrested because she caught him having sex in the family living room with another woman. Sedgwick had spent nine months in a mental hospital where she became pregnant for the first time and had an abortion before she headed to New York and began her brief career as a muse to Andy Warhol. Sedgwick died of a barbiturate overdose at the age of 28 in 1971. Wohl (the eldest of eight Sedgwick siblings) claims she was alienated from her famous sister for the majority of her life. The basis of her latest book, 'As It Turns Out: Thinking About Edie and Andy,' explores the enduring success of her younger sister, who she once regarded as a "vain, shallow, spoiled child doing silly, meaningless stuff.' "I suppose I missed it then,' she says. I missed it in part because I didn't see it.' "I can say for Andy Warhol-all that I didn't have the eyes to see," she says.
