🎧Is anyone else as fascinated as I am with Big Edie and Little Edie of Grey Gardens? I was spellbound watching the 1975 documentary. The Bowery Boys‘ most recent podcast discusses the lives of the women. I‘m also interested in reading the tagged book now too.

Jess_Read_This @Debiw781 It‘s a really good episode!! We get the background to Big Edie and Little Edie‘s lives. It makes the documentary so much more interesting. I need to rewatch it after listening to the podcast. 6y

Jess_Read_This @Leftcoastzen @emilyhaldi Another good book that was mentioned in the podcast that is newer is Marble Faun of Grey Gardens. It is recently co-written with the young man that helped them out while they lived there. He was interviewed on the podcast as well.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Marble Faun of Grey Gardens: A Memoir of the Beales, the Maysles Brothers, and Jacqueline Kennedyreadinginthedark Their story is so sad. Have you heard the musical? I need to read the books you tagged! 6y
mrp27 So fascinated!! What a story. Saw the documentary and the HBO Drew Barrymore Grey Gardens. I need to listen to this. 6y
Jess_Read_This @readinginthedark I just learned about the musical through the podcast. I‘ve only watched the documentary. I‘m just so moved/saddened to see these vibrant women in their living conditions. Listening to them talk about books, music, events, and quote from Books/music just floors me at the level of education and culture they must have had. I want to read the books now! 6y
Jess_Read_This @mrp27 I haven‘t watched the HBO show and want to now! 6y
mrp27 @Jess_Read_This I liked it! You should definitely watch. Jessica Lang plays the mom and of course Barrymore plays Edie. 6y
