About Me



Hi Everyone! Welcome to my fan page for Grey Gardens-- the documentary and the musical. Please come on in and experience the eccentricity of Grey Gardens. Leave your comments-- What's your favorite quote or moment from Grey Gardens?

Here's my favorite quote:
Edith 'Little Edie' Bouvier Beale: But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn't know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there's anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman... S-T-A-U-N-C-H. There's nothing worse, I'm telling you. They don't weaken, no matter what.
I will be posting lots of fun stuff so check back.
Sincerely,
Edie Jr.

    Band Members: EDIE:I hate to spend the winter here; though. Oh; God. Another winter. [ Whispering ] Very depressing, you know, when winter sets in here. You know, 'cause I don't like the country, and I don't want to be here. Any little rat-- Any little rat's nest in New York, any little mouse hole, any little rat hole, even on Tenth Avenue, I would like better.


    "To my mother and me, GREY GARDENS (the documentary) is a breakthrough to something beautiful and precious called life." -- Edie Beale, 1974

    EDIE FASHION HINTS
    This is the best thing to wear for the day. You understand. - Yeah. - Because I don't like women in skirts, and the best thing is to wear pantyhose or some pants... under a short skirt, I think. Then you have the pants under the skirt, and then you can pull the stockings up over the pants, underneath the skirt. - Uh-huh. - And you can always take off the skirt and use it as a cape. So I think this is the best costume for the day. - Okay. - [ Laughs ] I have to think these things up, you know. Mother wanted me to come out in a kimono, so we had quite a fight.
