…might have something to do with Bob Dylan.
“Sedgwick, played by Sienna Miller, was Warhol’s brightest young star before spiraling into drug abuse and killing herself with an overdose of barbiturates in 1971. She got to know Dylan while living at the Chelsea Hotel, and legend has it they hooked up.
The original screenplay depicted the alleged relationship using Dylan’s name, and suggested he dumped Sedgwick - which led to ‘her tragic decline into heroin addiction and eventual suicide,’ Dylan’s lawyer, Orin Snyder, writes.
Although Dylan’s name has been changed to ‘Danny Quinn’ and the character is reportedly a composite of Dylan, Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger, Snyder says critics who’ve seen screenings say it’s unmistakably Dylan. A trailer shows Quinn, played by Hayden Christensen, wearing Dylan’s trademark harmonica brace and cap as he performs.”
Egads! I didn’t know Bob Dylan could lead young ingenues to commit suicide….I mean the only person I would possibly commit suicide for is Jakey G…or maybe Leo on a good day…but BOB DYLAN!? Wtf.
