Grey Gardens, a film by Albert and David Maysles I watched this documentary about a year ago and WOW! HBO recently produced a fictionalized account of the life of Edith "Big Edie" Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange; that film was based on this cult classic. If you've seen that movie or want to know more about Jackie O.'s eccentric family then this is a MUST SEE!
SUMMARY
Meet Big and Little Edie Beale—high-society dropouts, mother and daughter, reclusive cousins of Jackie O.—thriving together amid the decay and disorder of their ramshackle East Hampton mansion. An impossibly intimate portrait and an eerie echo of the Kennedy Camelot, Albert and David Maysles’s 1976 Grey Gardens quickly became a cult classic and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen. Thirty years later, the filmmakers revisited their landmark documentary with a sequel of sorts, The Beales of Grey Gardens, culled from hours of never-before-seen footage recently found in the filmmakers’ vaults.
