(aptly titled Grey Gardens) starring Jessica Lange (as Big Edie) and Drew Barrymore (as Little Edie) that was highly acclaimed. I still remember it. It was impressive. It was nominated for a ton of Emmy Awards and snagged an Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie award for Jessica Lange that was well deserved. It also won for Outstanding Made for Television Movie, Art Direction, and several other technical awards. I thought you might be interested in that. This sounds interesting. I'll look for it.

I guess this film (which is free on You Tube) is one you have to personally go on your own device to use it. I don't understand this works on You Tube. It seems random. I've noticed it on other posts too.

Were you able to find and watch it on You Tube without the link provided?

..have been fascinated by that duo for ages.

... exploited by the Mayles Brothers. But I've since read about the whole thing including the family history and I am just so mixed in my feeling now. It's a masterpiece in cinema verite. But it is so raw. I finally realize it was never done lightly to take advantage of the two Edies. Little Edie finally got to be herself in the end and got completely away from Grey Gardens.

I saw a "remake" of Grey Shadows a few years ago by two comedians (it was a shot by shot, original by words) with Bill Hadar and Fred Arminsen. Kind of chilling. Two of my favorite comedians, not one my favorite parodies.

I guess it affected me a lot. Fifty years later and it is still vivid.

To me, it seemed exploitative.... cringe worthy.

there in the first place. There's a good deal of info online about the film and its controversial side. Years ago I watched Grey Gardens and saw the SNL skit which was amusing and also tragic for people familiar with the condition.

The ending is a little intense.
