This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Paulita Sedgwick''' (December 7, 1943 – December 18, 2009) was an artist, actress, and independent filmmaker best known for her performances on stage and roles in several films by [[Ismail Merchant]]  and [[James Ivory (director)|James Ivory]].((Citation needed |date=March 2022)) 

Paulita Sedgwick was born on December 7, 1943, in Washington, D.C., the second of five children of Samuel Cabot Sedgwick and Paula Knipe Sedgwick. The Sedgwick family were well established in Massachusetts, and she was descended from [[Robert Sedgwick]], the first Major General of the [[Massachusetts Bay Colony]] under [[Oliver Cromwell]], [[William Ellery]], who was a signatory of the [[United States Declaration of Independence]], Judge [[Theodore Sedgwick]], famously the first person to successfully plead for the freedom of a female slave ([[Elizabeth Freeman (Mum Bett)|Elizabeth Freeman]], also known as Mum Bett), and was related to [[Catharine Sedgwick]], the novelist. She was also a cousin of the actresses [[Edie Sedgwick]] and [[Kyra Sedgwick]], and her grandfather [[Ellery Sedgwick]] was the editor and then owner of [[The Atlantic]] magazine.<ref>((Cite web | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/paulita-sedgwick-rancher-actress-and-independent-filmmaker-1882310.html | title=Paulita Sedgwick: Rancher, actress and independent film-maker| website=[[Independent.co.uk]]| date=29 January 2010))</ref>

Sedgwick's father served as a diplomat with the [[US State Department]], and her early years were spent in Haiti, Spain, France, Colombia, Costa Rica, Japan, and the United States. During this time she learned to speak fluent Spanish and began a lifelong interest in travel and foreign cultures.

In her teenage years she studied Islamic Art at the University of Madrid in Spain, where she lived with the family of the anti-Francist [[Dionisio Ridruejo]], reportedly drawing the attention of the authorities (although this is not substantiated).

Later she attended the [[Webber Douglas School of Singing and Dramatic Art]] in London, England, lodging with the family of [[Piers Bengough|Colonel Sir Piers Bengough]].

Her interest in Islamic and other ancient arts was part of a greater fascination with antiquity and mythology, which Sedgwick used as inspiration for her own art. She wrote and illustrated two books which saw commercial success in the US during the 1970s, Circus ABC and Mythological Creatures, and also illustrated two more: ''A to Z of Egyptian Mythology'' by Barbara Pradel Price and ''The Pluperfect of Love'' by Dorothy Crayder.

In the early 1970s Sedgwick moved to New York City, where she became a member of a fringe theatre group called the Hot Peaches and performed in numerous stage productions.

During this time she became a lifelong friend of [[Isabelle Collin Dufresne]] (better known as Ultra Violet), and through Dufresne and her cousin Edie Sedgwick got to know [[Andy Warhol]], although she never became a follower of [[The Factory]]. While in New York she dated Jimmy Hall, another stage actor, and in 1974 they had a son, Angel Sedgwick, who was to be her only child. During the mid 70s, Sedgwick and her son moved to Europe, where she spent a year travelling and performing street theatre. She allowed her son to appear full frontally naked at the age of seven in the 1982 film "Danton".

In 1977, they moved to Paris, where she learned French and began acting in films as well as stage productions, including supporting roles in [[Savages (1972 film)|Savages]] (1971), [[Quartet (1981 film)|Quartet]] (1981), [[Les Uns et les Autres|Les Uns et Les Autres]] (1981) and [[The Bunker (1981 film)|The Bunker]] (1981).

Throughout most of her adult life Sedgwick lived on the family's Santa Fe Ranch near Nogales, Arizona, but travelled extensively throughout South and Central America, Europe, the former Soviet Union, North Africa and South-East Asia. From the early 1980s onwards she was an increasingly regular visitor to London, England, and became a doyenne of London's alternative scene while also becoming a member of such diverse institutions as the [[Royal Geographical Society]], the [[Royal Horticultural Society]], The [[Chelsea Arts Club]], the [[National Liberal Club]], the Soho social club Black's, and gay nightclubs such as Heaven and Madame Jojo's.

She founded and edited a short-lived [[underground culture]] magazine called U-Topic, and her friends and acquaintances during this period included the fashion designers [[Vivienne Westwood]], [[Pam Hogg]] and [[Alexander McQueen]].

Inspired by the places she visited during her travels, the people she met there and local folklore, Sedgwick wrote, produced and directed a number of her own films under the company name Poker Productions, sometimes using the nom-de-plume Damian Wong. These included the short films Le Gymnase De La Rue D'Enfer (1984, in French), The Cowboy and the Chinagirl (1987), Valentin (1989, in Spanish), and The Yellow Motel (1991).

In 1992, she wrote, produced and directed the feature film Blackout, which featured a soundtrack by the then unknown British dance music artist [[Rex the Dog|Jake Williams]]. Several of these films featured luminaries from the 1970s New York theatre and art scene such as Ultra Violet, and proponents of the London alternative scene including [[Eddie Tudorpole|Eddie Tudor-Pole]], the artist [[Duggie Fields]] and the jewellery designer [[Andrew Logan (sculptor)|Andrew Logan]]. Despite obtaining varying degrees of underground popularity none of these films met with any commercial success. In 1995, she made a set of four three-minute films for the British TV company [[Channel 4]] called ''On The Loose, Fit To Be Tied'' (starring fashion designer Alexander McQueen), ''Double Take'', and ''The Assistant'' (starring the TV presenter [[Graham Norton]]); however, these films were never shown on British television.

From the early 1990s she began to spend more and more time on her family's ranch in Arizona, where she became a member of the board on the [http://www.santaferanchfoundation.org/ Santa Fe Ranch Foundation], the Sedgwick family's non-profit trust, assisting with the delivery of educational programmes for local school children. After a protracted battle with several cancers she died on the Santa Fe Ranch on December 18, 2009.
