Grey Gardens (1975), a documentary film by Albert and David Maysles, reveals a portrait of New York socialites Little Edie Beale and her mother Edith Beale in their decrepit East Hamptons estate.
A former haute couture model and debutante in the '30s and '40s, Little Edie spent most of her life with her mother as they spiraled into isolation and a world of their own. The film captures their relationship and a no-frills glimpse at the voyeuristic tendencies of American culture to gape at celebrity and high-society, as if nothing were ever amiss.
