Grey Gardens

Edith "Big Edie" Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale were the aunt and first cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. The two women lived together at Grey Gardens for decades with limited funds, resulting in squalor and almost total isolation.





I started watching this when I was half asleep, and was so intrigued by it. I was really disappointed I didn't get to see more of it, the relationships between the two women was documented in such a raw, unaltered way that you couldn't help but be intrigued by them. I will watch this again.
