Lil Edie will always have my heart. Bless them both❤️

[@baja63383]

I feel it in my bones that one day I will tour this beautiful home.

[@lesleyhubble2976]

I’d love to visit grey gardens

[@selmahare]

Same, maybe we will be the current owners' guests some day! Who knows, life can be a box of surprises.. :) And I really hope that who ever bought the house has kept that beautiful, modern portrait of the Beales on the wall, because they were a huge part of that house's History, if not the biggest chunk of it thus far. I would always keep their portrait hung on the wall like that if I bought it, so as to honor them and the fact that they never allowed for the house to be tore down.

​@@selmahare_The new owner Liz Lange, I think hang a painting of 12 y/o Little Edie in the foyer w/a blue animal print wallpaper dedicated to the 2 Edies... there's also in the 2nd floor landing area: a paper mache bust of Edie Jr.

[@stephnews4]

Beautiful house, lots of character & history. The Beales seemed like lovely ladies. May they Rest In Peace.

[@heidithomas5455]

I know from interviews they got rid of the cat smell by ripping up the floors and tearing down the walls, and then installing new everything. I'd still be concerned about what's festering in the studs and support beams. I can't even imaging there isn't some gross hold over lurking somewhere within. And once animals inhabit a place, generations later, their offspring seem to want to try to get back in. I would not be able to feel clean in that house....ever.

[@dash6385]

I bet you, you can hear Big Edie still singing for Little Edie.

[@samanthab1923]

Big Edie definitely haunts it 👻

[@salliegallegos918]

I hear her singing “Tea for Two!”

[@rosu5726]

Interesting. Lovely maysles film

[@lindalarrabee2405]

Poor Edie... her life was stolen ( as mine was) ; forced to go nuts in someone else’s horrors.
I don’t know when She died, but I think of her often.😢♥️

[@RFJersey]

Linda Larrabee Explain?

[@fluidartfixation8965]

She didn’t feel that her life was stolen at the end of her life. She finally got to live the way she wanted from age 60 til her death. She even stopped resenting her mother after her mother died. She was free after Grey Gardens and she enjoyed her final season in life.
I pray that you still don’t feel like your life was taken from you.

[@somerandommom5030]

I don't think Big Edie had any other choice other than bringing Little Edie home. LE was 35, had never had a real job, and depended upon her mother for financial support. BE was obviously out of money and couldn't continue to pay for LE's life in NYC. She could barely afford to feed herself. LE said she was about to be discovered, but in actuality she was just given an opportunity to audition for something. Back in the early 1950s, starlets were young--early 20s. Not 35. LE finally got to be a star because she lived at GG. She resented it, but it's what gave her the fame she wanted.

[@tammybrown4901]

2002

[@selenaannesmith1604]

She died in 2002 aged 84

[@StevenTorrey]

I remember reading about this and them in the '70s....

[@pikminlord343]

god damn that ROI is insane

[@MrSofiasalsa]

They were hilarious

[@GoAskAlice23]

How much did little Edie get for this house?

[@wazzup233]

From what something I've read in w/c Little Edie advertised it asking for $500,000 cash: The Grey Gardens Estate had 2 acres, 26 rooms...compact that a person can live comfortably alone. Sally Quinn bought it almost half the price only because the house was not in good condition & I guess she just gave Edie Jr. the land value of it at that time.

[@shannoncallahan7614]

The music is so off-putting it's impossible to view this video.

*"That's when the Beals relatives ... worked to repair the **-dilapidated mansion and its grounds-** **_social scandal and horrific neglect towards their relatives."_** (ftfy)*

[@sharksport01]

Sold for 15 million

[@buddhak5865]

who would want to live there, though? It's creepy.

[@elizabethtrainer9732]

Me!!!

[@miriamhavard7621]

ME!!!

[@pianoman551000]

You should never be afraid of living with yourself!

[@murieltainter5936]

Buddha k When were you there?

[@ultraviolettas]

it’s beautiful
