After hearing that there’s a TV movie remake of the original Grey Gardens (1975), I knew I had to watch. With Drew Barrymore as Edith “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale and Jessica Lange as her mother Edith Bouvier Beale, Grey Gardens (2009) is a scripted look at the creation of the documentary. It gives us a peek into Edie’s life in New York before she was relegated to live with her mom in East Hampton. I now have a greater sense of the financial hardships they endured and saw how truly run-down their mansion had become. Drew and Jessica both excelled in these roles, mastering the quirks and mannerisms that made the documentary so distinct. Watch Grey Gardens on HBO Max and Hulu.
