Pictures of Edith Bouvier Beale. I can’t get enough of Big Edie and Little Edie from Grey Gardens. 

What’s interesting is what happened to Little Edie when her mother died. She became free. She lived in New York City and Montreal before she settled in the upscale Bal Harbor in Florida, living her best life swimming daily in the ocean and enjoying the company of friends and family. While she still wore the scarves to cover her alopecia, she wore regular clothes instead of the “costumes” that she wore in the film. She was especially close to her nephew and his wife.

I too did a big dive about these two.Very sad.They couldn't move on from an era that was long over.

One of my all time favorite movies and stories. Her comeback performance poster is amazing. Wish I could find a copy/print.

Longtime fan of the Grey Gardens documentary. Nice summation with some extra family history added in. Every time I see Jack Schlossberg do something silly I think about his patriot kicks and how you said ‘he’s giving Little Edie’. 😂 You were the first person I heard draw that comparison and now everyone is saying it.

I LOVE Little Edie!🇺🇸💃🏼

Once a week at least i say "so i think this is the best costume of the day"🎉

The documentary was SO interesting! Thank you for covering this, @MeSnarky! Did you see the movie on it, with Drew Barrymore starring as Little Edie? She did a wonderful job!

Is a sad tale of co dependency and denial. my mother was narcissistic like that, never respected my autonomy. Had to go no contact as an adult.

What a fascinating couple, this mother and daughter. Codependent crazy-making. I loved that you, Miss Me Snarky, put this on so quickly today. Thank you ❤❤❤

I couldn't watch the documentary, but I tried.

lol sorry but girl you have no clue go back to trumpville and talk to them
