Grey Gardens
The much-trumpeted movie about Jackie O’s maddeningly eccentric relatives airs tonight. From the iconic fashion to the cult following and Drew Barrymore’s inner rage, read our coverage of Grey Gardens.
Starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange as the eccentric, witty, and wildly fashionable mother-daughter duo Edie and Edie Beale, Grey Gardens reimagines the cult-hit documentary about Jackie Kennedy’s real-life cousins. Amid an elaborate set of decaying luxury, Barrymore and Lange interpret a story that had 1960s tabloid tongues wagging about a pair of misunderstood fashion icons.
