I was watching YouTube clips today from Grey Gardens, the 1975 documentary about Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Edie. Aunt and first cousin to Jackie Onassis, the two reclusive socialites lived in their decrepid East Hampton mansion with raccoons, stray cats, and piles of trash.
I particulary love this documentary for Edie, and her bizarre stories, rants, and fashions.
"But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn't know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there's anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman... S-T-A-U-N-C-H. There's nothing worse, I'm telling you. They don't weaken, no matter what."
-Edie
