Chuck Wein (March 24, 1939 – March 18, 2008) was an American promoter and filmmaker. He was closely associated with Pop artist Andy Warhol's Factory and the New York underground film scene of the 1960s. A Harvard graduate and friend of socialite Edie Sedgwick from Cambridge, Wein became an instrumental collaborator in several Warhol films in 1965, including Poor Little Rich Girl, Beauty No. 2, and My Hustler. He also co-wrote and co-directed the cult film Ciao! Manhattan in 1967, a semi-autobiographical film centered on Sedgwick's life and decline. He later directed the Jimi Hendrix concert film Rainbow Bridge (1971).

Early life and education

Wein was born in Rhode Island in 1939 and grew up, by his own account, "between Beverly Hills and Las Vegas." His father worked as a mafia lawyer in Las Vegas. Wein attended Beverly Hills High School before moving to Pittsburgh and graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School in 1956.

At Harvard University in Cambridge, Wein was nicknamed "Chuckles" by socialite Dorothy Dean because of his exuberant personality. Originally intending to study nuclear physics, he developed interests in Chinese history, Taoist philosophy, psychedelic drugs, and spiritual exploration. Known for his charismatic conversational style, Wein attracted a devoted circle of friends and acquaintances, some of whom later described him as a Svengali-like figure with a talent for identifying and influencing unconventional personalities. After graduating from Harvard in 1960, he traveled to Asia and North Africa. While in Tangier, Wein tutored William S. Burroughs' son, William S. Burroughs Jr.

Andy Warhol and the Factory

In March 1965, Wein and Sedgwick met Pop artist Andy Warhol at a party for Tennessee Williams hosted by producer Lester Persky. Wein later described his involvement with Warhol as accidental, recalling that Warhol asked him at the party if he would write a film for him. When later asked why he chose Wein as a scriptwriter, Warhol replied, "When I met him at the party I couldn't think of anything else to say." Wein and Edie Sedgwick soon became regular figures at Warhol's Factory, and accompanied Warhol to Paris for his May 1965 exhibition at the Ileana Sonnabend Gallery.

Wein emerged as an important creative collaborator in Warhol's underground films, describing their approach as "Reel-Real," in which "the reel is creating the reality," and actors could not be separated from their lives. He appeared in one of Warhol's Screen Tests and contributed ideas and production assistance to several films starring Sedwick in 1965, including , Face, Restaurant, , and . Wein conceived and served as assistant director on Beauty No. 2, in which his off-screen voice interrogates Sedgwick throughout the largely improvised film. Although credited as the film's writer, the production was largely improvised in keeping with Warhol's filmmaking methods.

Later years and death

After Sedgwick left the Factory, he co-wrote and directed Sedgwick in the avant-garde film Ciao! Manhattan in 1967. Production was halted amid Sedgwick's struggles with substance use, before later being revived by filmmakers John Palmer and David Weisman and released in 1972.

In later years, Wein directed the Jimi Hendrix concert film Rainbow Bridge (1971).

Wein died in Del Mar, California died on March 18, 2008.

In pop culture

Wein was portrayed by Jimmy Fallon in George Hickenlooper's Factory Girl (2006), a cinematic retelling of Edie Sedgwick's (Sienna Miller) life, with particular emphasis on her brief time with Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce).
