So I finally got around to watching Grey Gardens, on an ironically gray, Saturday morning. The film features Drew Barrymore and Emmy-winning, Jessica Lange. They did an outstanding job portraying the eccentric mother and daughter duo of Edith Bouvier Beale; the aunt and first cousin of Jackie Kennedy Onassis. The film documents the eccentric lives of Park Avenue princesses who have withdrawn from New York society. They refuge in each other and their beautiful Long Island summer home, Grey Gardens. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, but then again, I enjoy any movie that involves chasing your dreams and living in a gorgeous beach house.
