Bob Dylan is attempting to block the release of a biopic of Sixties icon Edie Sedgewick in a row over his role in the pop icon's death.

Sedgwick, one of Andy Warhol's New York Factory hipsters, died aged just 28 from an overdose of barbituates in 1971. It is thought that the film, “Factory Girl”, implies that the legend's behaviour towards his rumoured former lover was indirectly responsible for her suicide.
Sedgwick befriended Dylan in the late-60s and the pair are long believed to have had an affair. It's also been rumoured that two of Dylan's most famous songs, “Just Like A Woman” and “Like A Rolling Stone”, are about the tragic star.
Even though in the film, in which star Sienna Miller and Hayden Christensen, Dylan’s name is not mentioned at all, he wrote a letter to the producers, demanding that film not be released until he has established whether or not the defamation claims are true.
