They were steeped in affluence and privilege, never far from the spotlight that shone on their close relation, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Based on the lives that inspired the Maysles Brothers' 1975 documentary, this HBO Films drama tells the story of "Big Edie" Beale and her daughter "Little Edie"-the aunt and cousin of the former First Lady-whose eccentric, mutually dependent lives played out in a decaying house known as Grey Gardens. The film details the Beales' love-hate relationship during two distinct time periods in their lives: the 1973 filming of the Maysles' film, and flashbacks from the 1930s on when Little Edie's dreams of acting stardom were quashed by her own weaknesses and her mother's interference. Jeanne Tripplehorn, Daniel Baldwin and Malcolm Gets co-star.
Grey Gardens, The Musical, opened on Broadway November 2, 2006. The show was nominated for 10 Tony Awards in 2007, and won 3 prizes including Best Actress in Muscial for Christine Ebersole in the role of Edith Bouvier Beale and Best Featured Musical Actress for Mary Louise Wilson for her part as Big Edith.
