“My mother gave me a completely priceless life.”
– “Little Edie” Beale, 1917-2002

In 1973, filmmakers Albert and David Maysles entered the strange world of “Big Edie” and “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale, two charming eccentrics who were relatives of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Spending six weeks with the reclusive mother and daughter who chose to live in squalor and almost total isolation in a decaying, 28-room mansion in East Hampton, the Maysles captured their day-to-day life in its raw, uncensored, captivatingly honest moments for a documentary entitled “Grey Gardens.” Little did anyone know that the 100-minute documentary would catapult the two women from virtual obscurity to cult status as their legacy grew in depth and stature over the years.

Drew Barrymore stars as “Little Edie” and Jessica Lange stars as “Big Edie” in GREY GARDENS. This film takes us back to the early years of the mother-daughter duo, as well as chronicling the making of the iconic documentary by the Maysles brothers, their riches to rags story and their unique mother and daughter bond.

Malcolm Gets, Daniel Baldwin, Ken Howard and Jeanne Tripplehorn co-star in the film.
