They were so disconnected from reality and I fear always were. I have been researching more about their story and have found that the mother began "seducing" her daughter at a very early age. Little Edie never had a chance at a notmal life. Very sad and sick.My Decor Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704938158622123301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-17630698643220472952009-04-17T05:31:00.000-05:002009-04-17T05:31:00.000-05:00Paloma, THANK YOU for an absolutely amazing post! ...Paloma, THANK YOU for an absolutely amazing post! Grey Gardens has been one of mye favorite documentaries for a really long time. When you finish watching it the first time, you just want to see it again. Their relationship is just so complicated. I love both the house (in the documentary the potential was just screaming!) and little Edie's style. She looks fabulous! And she was such a stunning girl when she was younger.Fargerike Dagnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132781891510033761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-54039397414524852942009-04-16T16:22:00.000-05:002009-04-16T16:22:00.000-05:00what a brilliant post! i am going to read the new ...what a brilliant post! i am going to read the new W now and can't wait for the movie to premiere!stewart and jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15119669217916554130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-79252791060119702672009-04-16T15:55:00.000-05:002009-04-16T15:55:00.000-05:00absolutely fascinatingabsolutely fascinatingthe girLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08136738245393561978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-28075566716233914112009-04-16T13:24:00.000-05:002009-04-16T13:24:00.000-05:00Fantastic post!Fantastic post!ALL THE BESThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061884142057169005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-26007900837164686052009-04-16T11:21:00.000-05:002009-04-16T11:21:00.000-05:00Hi Cindy,

I think the fascination stems from the fierce mother-daughter bond, wildly eccentric personalities, and the way in which these two women could go from one extreme to the next. The HBO movie shows the 40 years leading up to the 1975 documentary which showed the Beales in such a sad state. This explains the more glamorous sets. <br /><br /><br />Thanks to everyone for your wonderful comments! I am so glad that you enjoyed this post and that the story of the Beales has been intriguing for you as well. xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168824588739872769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-40236586647567606762009-04-15T13:06:00.000-05:002009-04-15T13:06:00.000-05:00I watched this movie (the original documentary) on...I watched this movie (the original documentary) on the weekend and I have to say that I found it quite depressing. I am still trying to figure out what all the buzz around the lives of these two tragic characters is all about and why the fascination with them??? I will have to catch the new movie and see how they compare, as the set desgns for the new movie certainly look like they have glamourized the sad state of the house and of their lives. Maybe the retelling of their lives will give us permission to be wildly eccentric and disturbed and make it alright even fashionable??<br />PatriciaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217566407504060905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-68403184340590525512009-04-15T11:28:00.000-05:002009-04-15T11:28:00.000-05:00Such an interesting post!
