Grey Gardens

Soon to come to our screens is the movie Grey Gardens, about the reclusive socialite Edith Bouvier Beale and her mother Big Edie. Both relatives of Jackie O'nassis who, after losing their fortune, retreated to the decaying family mansion grey gardens, where they lived in dirt & squalor. The riches to rags story, along with her eccentric style and beauty has made little Edie a cult figure. And even in the desperate surroundings of grey gardens her glamour and style remained as she paraded around in a selection of fur coats, gowns, heels and her trademark headscarves. Though before you see the film I urge you to check out the real documentary about grey gardens.
