Grey Gardens
A voyeuristic peek into the lives of two genuine American eccentrics; Edith Bouvier Beale and her 50 year old daughter Edie. The pair inhabit a decrepit mansion called Grey Gardens in the wealthy enclave of New York's Hamptons. . They seldom go outdoors, they inhabit one or two rooms of Grey Gardens, cooking on a hotplate and singing off key show tunes. The house is shared with a herd of cats, an attic full of racoons and their attendant fleas. Filmed by the Maysles brothers (David & Albert) who somehow gained the trust of these unusual members of Jackie Kennedy's family. Mrs. Onansis must have been pissed when this was released .
