Description: Big Edie sings in the classic documentary Grey Gardens. Grey Gardens is a 1975 documentary by Albert and David Maysles. The film depicts the everyday lives of two women who lived at Grey Gardens, a decrepit 28-room mansion in the Georgica Pond neighborhood of East Hampton, New York. The subjects of the film are Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter (also named Edith-"Little Edie"), who are the aunt and the first cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. The two women lived together at Grey Gardens for over twenty years in squalor and almost total isolation. In 1972, their living conditions were exposed due to an article in the National Enquirer and a series of raids by the Suffolk County Health Department. Jackie Onassis convinced her husband Aristotle to pay for a cleaning and partial repair job on the house. It was during the restoration that Grey Gardens was made. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Gardens

rollinstrummin ::: Favorites I would want to see pics of them when they were younger. What if you live your life & it's good, then later misfortunes & time goes by. life isn't the way you thought it would be. You can be 23 and relate to it. Point is take pics & video of yourself so you have more than just one portrait when your old. Oh yeah, & don't go crazy with cats. 07-08-14 16:47:11 _____________________________________________________

chevychase ::: Favorites I love this scene where Big Edie sings "Tea for Two." Seeing the glimpse of what her voice may have once sounded like is stunning. And I agree with Jerry Torre, I love "Jerry Likes My Corn"!! It is a positively brilliant song... it pretends to be a simple happy song, yet it grows in depth as it proceeds and by the end you are in rapture and tears. 07-05-27 19:18:27 _____________________________________________________

jerrypwjr ::: Favorites I adore this film. One thing that I never have had answered though, is what happened to them financially to allow the house to be neglected like that? They had money it seemed. They had Brooks the gardner, and Jerry the handyman. There were the estranged sons that paid taxes on the house... anyone know? 07-05-06 00:38:07 _____________________________________________________
themarblefaun ::: Favorites Actually they did not have money or the means to earn money. When I met Mrs. Beale at Grey Gardens it was shocking as it was interesting. Jerry Torre 07-05-14 22:16:43 _____________________________________________________
jerrypwjr ::: Favorites I guess what I meant was what happened to their money. 07-05-15 05:27:29 _____________________________________________________
themarblefaun ::: Favorites Over the years it dwindled so in time it just ran out. 07-05-15 13:04:12 _____________________________________________________
jfulbright ::: Favorites You met them? I was repulsed when I first watched the film, but days after, I realized that the movie could've depicted ANY of us...okay, maybe not. But it was haunting, and it's never left me. Why is that? 07-06-15 21:50:22 _____________________________________________________
