Starting today, the Museum of the Moving Image presents a weeklong series titled “The Real Edie Sedgwick” that further burnishes her legend and her importance as a muse. The major Warhol-Sedgwick collaborations are all here, including those in which she is the star attraction, like “Poor Little Rich Girl,” and those in which she appears as one guest among many, like “Vinyl.” Also on view are Warhol’s western parody, “Horse”; a fragment from Richard Leacock’s “Lulu,” made for the Alban Berg opera; Andrew Meyer’s “Match Girl” (narrated by Warhol); and Edie’s excised footage from “The Chelsea Girls.” Less happily, there is John Palmer and David Weisman’s “Ciao! Manhattan,” a portrait of her in terrible free fall.
