Grey Gardens is the unbelievable true story of Mrs. Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edie, the aunt and first cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Mother and daughter live in a world of their own in their decaying 28-room East Hampton mansion known as ‘Grey Gardens’. For the Beales were nothing short of the upper crust. Mrs. Beale, a.k.a. ‘Big Edie,’ was a born aristocrat, sister of ‘Black Jack’ Bouvier, Jackie O’s father. ‘Little Edie’ was an aspiring actress of striking beauty who put her New York life on hold to care for her mother – and never left her side again.
Together they descended into a strange life of dependence and eccentricity that no one had ever shared until the Maysles arrived with their camera and tape recorder. The ensuing film is a bittersweet love story, a record of the powerful and complex relationship between mother and daughter.
