"Little Edie" Bouvier Beale - fashion icon, philosopher, first cousin to Jacqueline Onassis
This Is one facinating story that keeps unfolding. Two eccentric relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy who made headlines when the health department threatened to raid their flea and raccoon-infested East Hampton, N.Y., estate.
They made headlines around the world when Jackie O herself materialized to rescue her family from public disgrace.
They were then the subjects of a 1976 documentary by David and Albert Maysles.
This film has inspired an award winning OFF BROADWAY musical which has won a Tony Award.

- UPDATED October 01,2006 "Certainly the Maysles are interested in recording the Beales' very real life -- the ruined house crawling with cats and fleas, the paper bird in the rusty gilded cage, the mother and daughter quarreling -- but those are the film's most superficial elements..."

Grey Gardens brings to life both the delightfully eccentric aunt and the cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Once among the brightest names in the pre-Camelot social register, these two women became East Hamton's most notorious recluses, living in a dilapidated 28-room mansion. Set in two eras- in 1941 when the estate was in its prime and in 1973 when it was reduced to squalor - the musical tells the alternately hilarious and heartbreaking story of two indomitable women, Edith Bouvier Beale and her adult daughter "Little" Edie.
