Omg. She was so classic. Funny and brutally honest. RIP Little Edie. I truly admire your who you really are.

[dpohunter]

Interesting fact that never is mentioned- Big Edie's two sons Phelan and Bouvier (Little Edie's brothers) were both successful professionals who tried repeatedly to convince their mother and sister to vacate and sell the dilapidated mansion. To that end, they refused to loan financial support for repairs or utility payments. After the Health Dept. raid, cousins Jackie and Lee paid for the repairs needed to allow the women to remain at Grey Gardens. Afterwards, younger brother Bouvier reluctantly paid the back taxes in the estate.

Drew Barrymore played this role incredibly well it’s a shock how well she pinned Edies mannerisms and voice down

[itsmeanne]

“Bye Bill. You old fool.” That made me laugh so hard 🤣🤣 ..I absolutely love little Edie. What a great spirit she had. I wish the world had the chance to know her more when she was alive. She was incredibly fascinating! And I do wonder if she had Aspergers?! RIP little Edie, you sweet soul.

[pjlav]

Edie has high emotional intelligence and ironically, a great insight into the human psyche. ❤

[Aussietari]

I L💜VE that when her
Cousin, Lee Radziwill
was Trying to Shut,
"Little Edie, " Up,
"Little Edie, " was having
NONE of it.🤣

Two misunderstood women, love them ❤️❤️

[TheJamiebaby]

She really had so much potential and that must’ve been so hard for her knowing she wasted all those years in that house

[jackr]

Funny to hear little Edie say she never had a room of her own, considering she had lived in a 28 room mansion for 50 years!

[isabellelatour]

They were true legends, 2 amazing ladies ❣

[shizzle]

Geniusely sharp wit and tongue! Oh the fun we’d of had together

[timothyoneto]

WOW! Lee and Edie have the same speaking style/voice!

[evaperez]

At the end, , So sad her face especially her eyes.

The other family were embarrassed into paying for the clean up after it was spread across the newspapers, I wonder if they carried on paying for all the utilites and sewerage costs? when Little Edie sold the house they had to remove all the floorboards to rid the house of Cat, Raccoon and everything else pee and poop smell

[Toots]

she has a lovely anger... it is an anger without ego... anger with ego, whichi is common in adults is ugly.

[dinh]

Who's the reporter at 0:41? Handsome.

[spacey]

She is so amazingly wise. Something of a female Dali

[ArtWars]

Does anyone know what sort of accent Edie had? It always mystified me.

[carobinsonrobinson]

Wow.. how the power that bee trying to susssh you!!! Shame on her!!!
