Edith Bouvier Beale (1917-2002), also known as "Little Edie," was an American socialite and the cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. She gained fame from Grey Gardens, a documentary that explored her eccentric, reclusive life with her mother, "Big Edie," in their decaying East Hampton mansion. She was an icon of American counterculture and influenced film, theater, and fashion.

History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.

In todays episode we're going to take a deep dive into some of the problems that existed both within the lives of the Edies and the decaying house they lived in. My guest for this episode which is filled with sensitive questions and intriguing discussion is Marilyn VanPraag, a clinical social worker for over forty years. Marilyn will help to answers questions I've pondered since watching Grey Gardens such as: the state of Big Edie's bed, why were there so many cats, how did the Edies accept the conditions they lived in and why Little Edie came home in 1952 and never tried to relaunch her life until Big Edie's death in 1977. Go mix a highball and get ready for a fascinating episode that helps us understand more about the Edies lives and the state of Grey Gardens at its worst.

DN:S KRITIKER MALIN ULLGREN OCH P1 KULTURS EMMA ENGSTRÖM DISKUTERAR ”THE CROWN”Det handlar om de första fyra avsnitten av den sista säsongen, med nummer sex - det vill säga vad som finns tillgängligt hittills på Netflix.HUR REAGERAR MAN I STORBRITANNIEN PÅ DE NYA AVSNITTEN AV ”THE CROWN”?Sveriges Radios korrespondent i Storbritannien, Pontus Mattsson, berättar om mediers reaktioner på hur den här traumatiska tiden i kungahusets historia skildras i tv-serien.DANSKA SUCCÉFÖRFATTAREN SOLVEJ BALLES DEL TVÅ OM TIDEN SOM STÅR STILLP1 Kulturs litteraturkritiker Nina Asarnoj har läst andra delen, av sju, i Balles romansvit ”Om uträkning av omfång”. Den kretsar kring en kvinnlig huvudperson som upplever att tiden har stannat på ett visst datum - medan den snurrar på för övriga inblandade. Men hur håller man uppe intresset hos läsaren i bok efter bok med en så, bokstavligen, stillastående intrig? Boken är översatt till svenska av Ninni Holmqvist.MÖT DEN KONTROVERSIELLA FRANSKA FILMREGISSÖREN CATHERINE BREILLATVår filmkritiker Björn Jansson har träffat Catherine Breillat, som har många explicita sexscener i sina filmer - och sett hennes senaste film, som visas på Stockholms pågående Filmfestival. Där får Breillat även pris för sitt kontroversiella filmskapande.KLASSIKERN: KULTFÖRKLARAD FILM OM MOR OCH DOTTER I EN FÖRFALLEN VILLADe gjorde filmer som Salesmen från 1968, om dörrknackande bibelförsäljare, och Gimme Shelter från 1969 om Rolling Stones. Men det var dokumentärfilmen Grey Gardens från 1975 som gjorde bröderna Albert och David Maysles berömda. Deras film om Big Edie och Little Edie, mor och dotter, från den amerikanska societeten som bor i en stor och förfallen villa har fått kultstatus. Katarina Wikars berättar mer i veckans Klassiker.Programledare: Lisa Bergström.Producent: Mattias Berg.

Bröderna Maysles dokumentärfilm om mor och dotter i Grey Gardens från 1975 blev med tiden en riktig kultfilm, musikal på Broadway, spelfilm och tv-serie. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Katarina Wikars om den risigaste kåken i hela fashionabla East Hampton på Long Island utanför New York. där Big Edie och Little Edie tillsammans med tvättbjörnarna på vinden och ett tjog katter genomlever sina dagar och minns bättre tider. Det stundar utmätning och sanering. Då är det bra att vara nära släkt med Jackie Onassis, som skickar några som kommer och röjer upp.Och en annan dag kommer två dokumentärfilmsbröder dit, bröderna Maysles. De verkar i genren Direct Cinema, vilket betyder inga berättarröster eller raka intervjuer eller förklaringar. Så de är bara där, i Grey gardens, i sex veckor. Och hundratals filmade timmar blir en och en halv timme redigerad film som kommer att gå till historien om än långsamt.

Esperanza and Irwin were surprised to learn Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis' formative years were spent on eastern Long Island. Born in 1929 at Southampton Hospital, the center of the Bouvier family life was at "Lasata", (meaning place of peace) the Further Lane estate adjacent to the Maidstone Club, where the family also had a cabana. When the Bouvier's first arrived in East Hampton in 1912, the place was far simpler than neighboring Southampton, a landscape primarily dominated by farm fields and simple salt boxes. Fast forwarding to 1953, Jackie married Jack Kennedy, and you know the story line over the next 10 plus years. Returning the story to East Hampton, we tie in the story of Grey Gardens, of Big Edie and Little Edie. Jackie and her sister Lee Radziwill literally rescued their Aunt and Cousin from the squalor they were living in, the subject of the cult classic "Grey Gardens" by the Maysles brothers.

Welcome aboard as we journey through the enchanting musical landscape of Grey Gardens, guided by none other than Alexis Michelle, Drag Superstar from RuPaul's Drag Race season eight. Get ready to be captivated by the eccentric tale of Big Edie and Little Edie, relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, immersed in their own peculiar world of charm and chaos. Alexis shares intriguing insights into her history with the musical and how the current Revival of Chicago has significantly influenced her movement and drag style.  Our voyage takes us deeper into the heart of Grey Gardens, as we dissect its intriguing story, set against the backdrop of the 1940s. Expect a wealth of wisdom as we delve into the significance of the songs and discuss how they can be interpreted or even omitted in the face of today's social dynamics. Edifying discussions around the original off-Broadway production, Alexis's personal Broadway experience, and the importance of other significant musicals like Spring Awakening and Piazza, make for an engaging experience.  Alexis Michelle Instagram Alexis Michelle TikTok  Alexis Michelle Images Witch Perfect Tour Dates Credits: Hosts: Jesse McAnally & Andrew DeWolf Podcast Edited By: Andrew DeWolf Theme Songs: Robyn Nash of IOU Music UK Keeper of the Cheese: Juliet Antonio This show is a part of the Broadway Podcast Network Social Media: Our WEBSITE Musicals with Cheese on Twitter Musicals W/ Cheese on Instagram Email us at musicaltheatrelives@gmail.com Merch!!

He rode his bike a different way than usual one day and approached a house where the hedges in front were so overgrown that only two peaks of the gabled roof beyond it were visible. This house belonged to Mrs. Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith Bouvier Beale, aunt and first cousin, respectively, of Jacqueline Kennedy; descendants of a well-bred New York family, whose names were found in the Social Register and on invitations for coming out parties and debutante balls. Today, of course, Mrs. Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith Bouvier Beale are more commonly known as Big Edie and Little Edie. And they are known not for being in society, but rather for shunning all of society when high society wouldn't accept their eccentricities. They chose instead to hole up in a neglected East Hampton mansion for more than twenty-five years, only opening to door to a few guests, one of whom was Torre. They were made famous, along with Jerry, and that rotting mansion called Grey Gardens, by the 1975 Albert and David Maysles documentary of the same name that became a cult sensation. So grab some Cheddar Cheese and join Zachary Ford and I as we celebrate The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens. 

For Video Edition, Please Click and Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/live/2-aKo25XPkg?feature=share The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens is Jerry Torre's touching and at times haunting memoir about his teenage days as caretaker of Grey Gardens, the now-celebrated mansion chronicled in the iconic documentary Grey Gardens and two feature-length films. The book, co-written with film historian Tony Maietta, is a behind-the-scenes look at "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" and their bizarre and reclusive life of squalor amidst the tremendous wealth of East Hampton, the family bond that developed between Jerry and them, and the day everything was turned upside down forever with the arrival of documentary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles. What begins as a teenager coming upon what he assumed was an old, abandoned house takes on new dimensions when suddenly Edie appears on the porch draped in a shower curtain with an apron tied around her head. "You must be the Marble Faun," she tells the stunned Jerry. Rather than chasing him away as he at first feared, she invites Jerry to meet her mother upstairs. So begins a strange and unusually close friendship with the two women as Jerry takes on the task of volunteer gardener of their estate, often sleeping nights in their living room and staying out of the way of mother-daughter arguments. The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens is Jerry's look back on the filming of Grey Gardens but also how the notoriety the movie achieved changed his life along with the Beales as their private world is shared with audiences everywhere. Tony Maietta arrived in Los Angeles in the 1990s as a fresh faced twenty-something, eager to discover the “classic' Hollywood that he fell in love with as a child. Alas, he was disappointed.

Hadley and Alyssa uncover the fascinating history of Grey Gardens, the grand East Hampton estate of Big Edie and Little Edie Beale—eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill—that was made famous in a 1975 documentary by Albert and David Maysles. After spotlighting the iconic women and their home, the co-hosts unpack its gradual downfall: Over time, the property fell into disrepair and was overrun by cats and raccoons (and perhaps something else not of this realm?). Little Edie held onto the property until two years after her mother died in 1977. Big Edie's spirit is said to watch over the house. Among the believers is author and Washington Post journalist Sally Quinn, who purchased the home from Little Edie in 1979 and swears it's haunted.

Buy one today! ourstruggle.store ~~~DREW'S VOLUMINOUS NOTES SECTION~~~ Updike's spunkcrusted house is yet another paternal demesne Martin Anus, our anxious Bloomian fils, must scrub and bleach and empty. This Augean task (following Wood following Bellow) mandated, then, that Martin purchase Denis de Rougemont's Love In The Western World, which comes adorned with a rather ejaculatory blurb from Updike himself. Martin finds the book immediately intoxicating--after all it's from a time before jargon had colonized scholarship, when criticism was an enchanting expedition. It explores troubadours and heretical Catholic sects, there's something about love itself being a cult of suffering and death, but Martin doesn't trouble himself over abstractions and theories.  He reads with appetite, as though the book were a novel unfurling grandly before him. De Rougemont performs a wide-eyed reading through of the myth of Tristan and Isolde; so Martin goes to Dunkin Donuts and listens to Wagner in the drive-thru. Oh, right, the Tristan chord; slightly more intriguing in Radiohead's iteration, perhaps. He loses interest, switches to Uncle Neil, beautiful bright eunuch sludge sounds: once there was a friend of mine who died a thousand deaths. He's supposed to be thinking about that flat Nord again, though--it's Sunday: time, as Lauren says, to get on the horn. Rosie Gray's coming on, another supplicant, buzzing with ideas about My Struggle ˆvia Grey Gardens. Cathars and askesis are so much chatter right now. Myth, enchantment, wonder, spells--his iced coffee gives him this little litany.  Rosie and Lauren, it turns out, are ready for wonderment and mythos. They rhapsodize on Karl Ove's diluvian fantasies and guillotine imaginings as they work their way towards the squalid paternal domain. Grandma's delirious, the sofa's caked with shit, this is almost a horror movie. Rosie delivers her thoughts on the rich decrepitude of Little Edie and Big Edie and helpfully reminds Martin Anus of Martin Amis's hideous and excruciating orthodontia (as featured in Experience, the only book, we learn, that has induced tears in M. Anus). They realize that Karl Ove probably can't tolerate the existence of Belgium. Lauren makes some perceptive connections between literary flaneurs and detective fiction. And Martin Anus tries to show that this episode's passage traces a shift, in Karl Ove's mind---a shift, perhaps, that's also embodied in the novel form itself--from the mythically grand to the mundanely specific.

When they were first tasked with making a documentary about the Bouvier family and their reminiscences of East Hampton, Albert and David Maysles soon realized that they were dealing with some “staunch” characters in Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier Beale, and that these women would make much more interesting… The post Episode 085 – Grey Gardens appeared first on The Magic Lantern.

In this episode of the Bowery Boys, Greg digs into the back story of one of the most famous documentaries ever made – Grey Gardens. The film, made by brother directing team Albert and David Maysles, looks at the lives of two former society women leading a life of seclusion in a rundown old mansion in the Hamptons. Those of you who have seen the film – or the Broadway musical or the HBO film inspired by the documentary – know that it possesses a strange, timeless quality. Mrs Edith Bouvier Beale (aka Big Edie) and her daughter Miss Edith Bouvier Beale (aka Little Edie) live in a pocket universe, in deteriorating circumstances, but they themselves remain poised, witty, well read. But if our histories truly make us who we are, then to understand these two extraordinary and eccentric women, we need to understand the historical moments that put them on this path. And that is a story of New York City – of debutante balls, Fifth Avenue, Tin Pan Alley and the changing roles of women. And it’s a story of the Bouviers, who represent here the hundreds of wealthy, upwardly mobile families, trying to maintain their status in a fluctuating world of social registers and stock market crashes. This is story about keeping up appearances and the consequences of following your heart. FEATURING: A very special guest! The Marble Faun himself -- Jerry Torre, who swings by the show to share his recollection of these fascinating women. boweryboyshistory.com Support the show.

This week on StoryWeb: Albert and David Maysles’s film Grey Gardens Watching the 1975 documentary film Grey Gardens is like slowing down to watch an accident in the next lane over. You know you shouldn’t, but you simply can’t help yourself. And if you’re really a rubbernecker like me (and apparently like tens of thousands of other Americans), you line up to watch the 2009 HBO Jessica Lange/Drew Barrymore biopic, which provides the backstory to the original film. Clearly, the 1975 documentary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles were on to something. What is it about Big Edie and Little Edie, the mother-daughter duo who languished in squalor as their formerly grand Hamptons estate, Grey Gardens, fell into disrepair? Why do we want to watch mentally ill, codependent hoarders living out the exact opposite of The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous? The Kardashians, they’re not. The Maysles brothers’ idea for a documentary was spurred initially by their interest in the Bouvier family and then by national reports of the deplorable conditions in which the two women lived. In the summer of 1972, Big Edie’s niece Jacqueline Onassis intervened in an effort to make the house more habitable. When the Maysles brothers approached the two women – Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Edith Bouvier Beale – about making the film, both Big Edie and Little Edie readily agreed. Ever ones for performing in the spotlight, the two women immediately fell in line, presumably because they thought this could finally be Little Edie’s big break into show business. It’s true that Grey Gardens was once a truly lavish estate, a fourteen-room mansion that could hold its own among the other Long Island estates in the Hamptons. And yes, it’s true that Big Edie was aunt to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and had fond childhood memories of her niece. And it’s even true that Jackie came to Grey Gardens to visit Big Edie and Little Edie after their surroundings had begun to rot around them and that she stepped in with financial assistance to help rectify the situation. The Edies’ pretensions were grounded – at least in part – in some reality. But they also fancied themselves performers, with their shared sights set on Little Edie making it as a showgirl. When Little Edie decides at the last minute not to pursue her audition with Max Gordon, a successful Broadway producer, Big Edie blames her severely for blowing her big chance – or perhaps Little Edie accuses Big Edie of pressuring her to move back to Grey Gardens. It’s something they never quite resolve between themselves, but both ultimately believe that Little Edie lost her chance at the big time. Both women obviously have a flair for the dramatic, and Little Edie enjoys getting up outlandish costumes from scraps of clothing and fabric she finds around Grey Gardens. It is very much as if she is a four-year-old playing dress-up with the grown-up clothes and shoes. And even though she is in her thirties when she does this, she is – in her peculiar Little Edie way – provocative, charming, compelling. We can’t help but watch. If watching the original documentary and the HBO film isn’t enough for you, you might want to visit Grey Gardens Online, a website devoted to Big Edie and Little Edie. You should also check out Sara and Rebekah Maysles’s book Grey Gardens, which includes illustrations, photographs, film stills, production notes, and the like along with transcripts of the two women’s stories. The book comes with a 60-minute CD, which contains conversations with the Beales and their friends, songs and poetry recited by the two Edies, and audio of the Beales during and after watching the film for the first time. The New York Times provides an interesting account of the property itself, noting that Little Edie sold the mansion in 1979 to Sally Quinn and Benjamin C. Bradlee, former editor of The Washington Post. Quinn and Bradlee loved to entertain, and their summers at Grey Gardens found them hosting the likes of Lauren Bacall and Norman Lear. And if you visit the “5 Things You Didn’t Know About the Classic Documentary Grey Gardens,” you’ll even learn that, for a cool $250,000, you can rent out the restored mansion for the summer. HBO’s official Grey Gardens page has links to short video clips and stills from the film, including a featurette on the making of the 2009 film. Visit thestoryweb.com/Maysles for links to all these resources and to watch clips from the original 1975 documentary. Then watch some of the backstory from the 2009 HBO film, when the two Edies and Grey Gardens were in their prime.

This week Andrea and Lisa discover that both their highest aspirations and darkest fears reside in the relationship of Big Edie and Little Edie Beale in the classic documentary Grey Gardens. Join us, won't you?

Bröderna Maysles dokumentär Grey gardens från 1975 blev sent omsider en riktig kultfilm som blev musikal på Broadway, spelfilm och teveserie. Katarina Wikars om den risigaste kåken i hela fashionabla East Hampton på Long Island utanför New York där Big Edie och Little Edie tillsammans med tvättbjörnarna på vinden och ett tjog katter genomlever sina dagar och minns bättre tider. Det stundar utmätning och sanering. Då är det bra att vara nära släkt med Jackie Onassis, som skickar några som kommer och röjer upp. Och en annan dag kommer två dokumentärfilmsbröder dit, bröderna Maysles. De har gjort dokumentärfilmer förut, de verkar i genren Direct Cinema, vilket betyder inga berättarröster eller raka intervjuer eller förklaringar. Så de är liksom bara där, i Grey gardens, i sex veckor. Och hundratals filmade timmar blir en och en halv timme film som kommer att gå till historien om än långsamt.

Her most recent Ghostlight was produced by T. Bone Burnett. In 2012, she was inducted in to the American Theater Hall of Fame. In this conversation, Betty looks back at her film and theater career, revealing the moment she knew she could act, the nights she felt most embraced by an audience, and how she always knew she would do her best work in her later years. She talks about what she learned from the late Dick Van Patten while shooting Eight is Enough, dealing with the shock of his death and how the challenges and losses we endure in life prove to be profound lessons in disguise that are designed to help us grow. Plus-- what was like working on her most recent album Ghostlight with T. Bone Burnett, how she's preparing for the Hamptons' first production of Grey Gardens: The Musical at Bay Street Theater, and why a recent riding accident means she won't have to act when she plays Big Edie.
