Good job. You've got me addicted to Grey Gardens now. My grandmother's neighbor was a character just like Edie. Actually at the time it seemed perfectly normal to have such a character living next door.<br/><br/>- Suzanne, the Farmer's Wife Yeah. Good job. You’ve got me addicted to Grey Gardens now.

(Ds is at college in NY and he'd seen a good review of the play). We checked out both movies from our library and I read a lot about it. I haven't seen the video you posted, though, and will watch it as soon as I post this.<br/><br/>I'm also fascinated by the two Edies.

I know I've heard about this before. I'd like to watch the film, but I just know my family wouldn't stand for it. I'll have to get it sometime when everyone else is gone. Now to think of a way to chase them all out of the house for a few hours!<br/><br/>What was with all the headscarves Edie wore, though? Sometimes they looked almost glamorous in an old movie star kind of way. Other times she looked as though she was wearing a drawstring hood and that was just bizarre. I think bizarre is the attraction here though. Fascinating! I know I’ve heard about this before. I’d like to watch the film, but I just know my family wouldn’t stand for it.

I watched the film and often wondered what had happened to Edie and her mother. Glad someone has restored the house. Wonder how long it took to get rid of all the animals ?
