Grey Gardens (1975)

"No, I'm not ready; I have no makeup on... but things are getting better!"

Directors: Albert and David Maysles, Susan Froemke, Ellen Hovde, Muffie Meyer
Starring: Edith "Big Edie" Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale as themselves, the aunt and first cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis



My, everything I heard from these two women was so strange, sad, funny...they drove me crazy but kept me captivated throughout...I swear at times I just wanted to shut the television off to get rid of the pitch in their voices competing against one another, but I never could, I loved them, I wanted to see what they would say or do next.

And what's this I hear about an HBO adaptation starring Drew Barrymore? Hmm.





It's very difficult to keep the line between the past and the present. You know what I mean? It's awfully difficult.

I only cared about three things: the Catholic Church, swimming and dancing, and I had to give them up.

Will you shut up? It's a goddamn beautiful day, shut up!
