Unveiling the Legends: Dolls of the 60s & 70s

“She was a catalyst. By being in contact with her, the edges were sharper.” - John Anthony Walker, on his college friend…Edie Sedgwick

She wasn’t just Girl of the Year, she was a girl in a million. This week’s Doll is actress, model, dancer, muse to Bob Dylan, and Warhol superstar Edie Sedgwick. Often seen as “the Marilyn Monroe of the 60s” or “the original manic pixie dream girl,” she was so much more than her Poor Little Rich Girl image. You might not know that she was a talented artist herself! Learn more about Edie’s impossible life on the latest episode of the Dolls Podcast, available on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, and Deezer 🐆

You can’t argue with today’s Doll’s resumé. She has a Bond theme, 2 Grammys, an Olympics opening ceremony performance, and over 70 credits to her name. She co-wrote one of the Carpenters’ greatest hits (and one of Eric Clapton’s too…) rolled with Delaney and Bonnie and Mad Dogs and Englishmen, was muse to Leon Russell and Stephen Stills. Not to mention she was on the radio before she even had a single out!

When Neil Peart of Rush was asked how it felt to be the world’s greatest drummer, he reportedly said: “ask Karen Carpenter.”

Karen was so much more than meets the eye. Like any other girl had hopes, dreams, hobbies, plus a wicked sense of humor. Did you know she was a largely self-taught drummer, was a Disney superfan, or that she was such a tomboy? This week host Emma bares her heart as she leads us through it all.
