Evidence

Victor Bockris writes that it was “in Woodstock, not at the Factory that Edie got addicted to heroin” and that, as early as late summer, Warhol had decided she was impossible—“a compulsive liar and a bulimic who made herself vomit after eating [as well as] heavily dependent on amphetamine and barbiturates.” (Who in the Factory wasn’t a speed freak?) — J. Hoberman, Everything Is Now, 1936
