What happens

Factory Girl is a 2006 American biographical film directed by George Hickenlooper. It is based on the rapid rise and fall of 1960s underground film star and socialite Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller), known for her association with the artist Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce). Factory Girl was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (through MGM Distribution Co.) on December 29, 2006, to largely negative reviews from critics, who nonetheless praised Miller's performance as Sedgwick. The film grossed $3.6 million against a $7 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
