Piece Description
Grey Gardens, the decayed East Hampton mansion of “Big Edie” and “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale, stood in stark contrast to the Camelot of their Kennedy cousins. Their idiosyncrasies have been the subject of articles, a documentary film, a Broadway show and an upcoming HBO film.
This Independent Minds special shares their story through the perspective of filmmakers Albert Maysles, Susan Froemke, Muffie Meyer; journalist Gail Sheehy; fashion editor Bill Norwich; current resident Sally Quinn; and HBO film director Michael Sucsy. In dramatic sequences featuring Drew Barrymore as Little Edie and Jessica Lange as Big Edie, we revisit the real life story and cultural legacy of two women living far outside their high-society birthright.
