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.
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.
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!
I did! She was AMAZING. Have you seen “That Summer”? It’s the documentary they started with Lee Radziwill before the clean up and documentary we all know and love. Those two were such characters.
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 ❤❤❤
