We finally got to see the HBO film "Grey Gardens" last night.
What an incredible film.
It goes well beyond what we know about the Beales and tells the "before" story about how they ended up where we saw them in the 1970s documentary.
As impressed as I was with Drew Barrymore's formidable performance, I was absolutely floored by Jessica Lange's portayal of Big Edie.
Both were eminently believable and gave such a personal and intimate look at their lives that you simply couldn't help but be transported.
If you get a chance - check it out. It's an incredible film.

Jessica Lange is one of my favorite actors. If you haven't seen "A Thousand Acres" check it out.
She. Is. Amazing.
I love Jessica Lange as well. Will look for this as haven't seen it either.
I’ve watched it three times now! I love the documentary and was a little skeptical about Drew’s performance beforehand. After watching it I was going around telling everyone, “Well she is a Barrymore after all”. I loved the part where big Edie tells Jackie O. that little Edie, “Isn’t much of a housekeeper” the look on Drew’s face is priceless.
