I honestly never really liked her cuz the whole Meryl thing till i realized they where being pitted against each other I did not have to like Meryl more cuz she did not get cast for King Kong I think Jessica is an amazing actress but my big money is on michelle Fairely aka catelyn stark whom was a big Irish name till game of thrones I am sure some Americans knew who she was but let’s be honest game of thrones really put her on Hollywood’s radar cuz she was swarmed with offers after game of thrones and she was like no I fucking love that woman .
I have been a Jessica Lange fan since I saw her in The Postman Always Rings Twice and Francis I am happy she has delivered as great a performance in Grey Gardens!
Jessica Lange is always an amazing actress and she of course did great in GG. I strongly feel that Drew deserved the Emmy for Best Actress! Comparing the film to the original documentary, Drew's portrayal of Little Edie was so spectacular. Drew outperformed Jessica in the film by a little, in my opinion.
luke I feel that they both were spectacular. Each had scenes where they gave the stronger performance, but in my opinion, it's something like saying a 99 is a better grade than a 98...I cannot imagine more perfect casting for these roles.
Jessica Lange is a tremendous talent. Watch for her in an upcoming documentary, "The Needs of Kim Stanley" Jan. 2015. She and Kim Stanley were FABULOUS together in "Frances" and in the 1984 production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."
FANTASTIC MOVIE! Jessica and Drew! A dream team! Would love to see them together again! They should have both won Oscars!! Jessica is right about mirror reality.😑
I didn't know they'd made a film....think it's great if it's accurate and honest !!....I've only seen the documentary and think both women are wonderful !!...
I’ve grown to enjoy the 2009 film, though I still have some major problems with it. If nothing else, I hope it encourages people to watch the documentary if they haven’t yet seen it.
One day when i came home from school with my twin brother, we opened the door and a bird flew out. There was absolutely no way it could have gotten into our home. I wonder how that happens
I watched Grey Gardens, it was very sad. As a lower income person we don’t realize that some of the very rich don’t know how to take care of themselves well at least some of them .
I would dare say though, 20 years ago, when barbara walters was sixty, she was still a beautiful woman. Past 70, she didnt quite hold up like raquel welch, but I say check out barabara 15 to 20 years ago, and you'll see a good looking broad.
Why was there a need for this movie even to be made? There wasn't. Neither actress could match the real characters, who are available for your acquaintance in the documentary itself.
Jessica and Drew were INCREDIBLE in this. I have never seen actors nail the looks and mannerisms of the original characters so well. They both deserved Best Actress awards.
Atleast Jessica has a heart ... Some people have none. Some people have money for liposuction and all the fixens ... talking about 80 yr old boobs. Those women had spirit even in their terrible conditions. Both Lang and Barrymore looked soo perfectly like them and played them soo well it was like wstching the real women they were portraying. Amazing! The make up artist's and performances!!! Some people put themselves on a pillar thar they really don't belong on. They don't understand that they could be in the same place if life beats them down enough. Where was any of the family? If I would have known them I would have tried to help them and put it out there Blazing for the public to see. Did Jackie O ever help them? Shameful.
Exploit why don't you! They had no income. Their husband and father left them penniless in that big house. But they survived and media is making fun of them. Just awful!
Watching this clip in 2023, thinking about how The View has changed over the years, and not in a good way. The screeching woke Marxist hysteria of Joy Behar, the TDS infecting the entire panel even the token Republican, and how much the professionalism of Barbara Walters is sorely missed….impacting everything on that show even including Whoopi’s dress code!
Drew Barrymore to play Gigi Mon Ami on" Moon On A Platter!!!" Culinary, fine Dining, vignettes on Europe- Golden Age of Culinary! Chef Gigi Mon Ami and Drew! Boys On The Side!!!! Moon On A PLATTER!!! Drugs in the classical Kitchens; wow! Clift Four Seasons, the bartender sold COKE! Not the soda!
Why where they looked over for awards for there performance . Like I know they both have academy awards I think drew dose but Jessica dose but seriously blow me away the part with Jackie had me wow.
