So, Sienna Miller, the actress who plays Edie Sedgwick in that “Factory Girl” film, says that Dylan has no reason to be upset about the movie which portrays him, under a mocked-up name, as having an affair with Sedgwick (while he was married?) and abandoning her in advance of her death from a drug overdose.

In the same interview she also complains about the media’s “unhealthy” interest in her own private life.

…

It is annoying, by the way, to see so many news stories on this controversy (like that Observer article or this BBC piece) claiming that certain songs of Dylan’s were written for, or inspired by, Edie Sedgwick, and using weasel-ish phrases like “it is said” or “it is believed” to perpetuate these notions which have no real basis except in gossip. The attempt to nail songs such as Like A Rolling Stone down to specific personages is inexplicable to me, in that it only diminishes the work. But it will go on.
