And speaking of the crazy rich (or perhaps the merely crazy), much buzz is being generated about the upcoming debut of Grey Gardens, a movie based on the lives of Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter Little Edie, the recluse aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy. The Beales of Grey Gardens have been in the news in the past few years, notably for Christine Ebersole's star turn in the 2006 Broadway musical version, Grey Gardens, an adaptation of the Maysles' brothers 1975 cult classic of the same name. The film follows the transformation of Little Edie (Drew Barrymore) from Maidstone debutante to fallen heiress under the auspices of her controlling mother (played by Jessica Lange). In the crumbling Grey Gardens of the 70s, cat food is called paté and the resident raccoons are seen as welcome playmates for the hordes of stray felines. Check out the preview below - seems like the ladies live up to all the hype. (And if you think Barrymore's overdoing it - check out a video of the real Edie to compare.)
Grey Gardens premieres Saturday, April 18 at 8pm on HBO
