Oh, little Edie.

Have you guys ever heard of the Grey Gardens Documentary? A documentary on Jackie O's aunt and cousin who went crazy in the hamptons. The mother and daughter stop leaving the house, stop cleaning and basically go schizo together. But all while speaking and acting as if they are still apart of high society. It's incredibly sad. Jessica Lang and Drew Barrymore made a movie based on the documentary and I'm telling you they did an amazing job of portraying these women. Go watch the movie and then watch the documentary and you'll see how on point and accurate everything is. I cant deicide whether or not the making of the original documentary was a mockery of them or if the directors really cared about these women. See for yourself.
