Andy & Edie is a 2004 off-Broadway play starring Misha Sedgwick (no relation) as Edie Sedgwick and Thomas Blake as Andy Warhol. Written by Peter Braunstein, the play was directed by Jessica Rotondi and ran from June 3 through June 13, 2004.[1]
[edit] Controversy
- The play's author, journalist Peter Braunstein, was arrested on December 16, 2005 for sexually assaulting a woman on Halloween while posing as a New York City firefighter. On January 5, 2006, he pleaded "not guilty" to charges of sexual abuse, arson, kidnapping, burglary and robbery.[2]
- Misha, formerly Misha Moore, misrepresented herself as the niece of Edie Sedgwick, the cousin of Kyra Sedgwick, and a member of the Sedgwick family. This erroneous identification persisted in the media for more than a year. Requests for correction have been made to the Press (NY Times, NY Post and others). In February 2006, Edie's only living brother, Jonathan, and other members of the Sedgwick family denied that Misha is a Sedgwick. [3]
