everyone's opinions are so childishly surfaced based! sometimes people can be eccentric and not of the norm for NO reason other than Because! but most likely their are hidden reasons! stop being Naive! this is seriously stupid to compare an empowered woman such as Madonna with a woman whose Independence was stripped from her in an era that she narrowly had a fighting chance!
Oh how I love Edie Beale!! I believe she would have loved this video. I can hear her now, "I think whoever made this video is a very gifted individual, verrrry gifted! It's a classic!"
I thought this was very cute...just that I couldn't hear the last things Little Edie said, before the dance number. IMHO, if Little Edie had been born a little later, she might have enjoyed Madonna and her music. They might have even become friends...knowing Madonna, I'm sure she'd realize she could get a lot of mileage out of being the friend of fascinating Little Edie.
GAH! The only (vague) similarity between these two is their non-conformism. Little Edie was (and I believe still is) mocked for hers. Though I can't say for certain, I highly doubt Little Edie would have liked this video, let alone 'just loved' this video. Why? Because she had a fire in her that just couldn't be put out. Let's not conflate motivation and greatness. The short sightedness of this generation is something that makes me ashamed of being a part of it.
I don't like Madonna, and I've never actually seen Grey Gardens, but this woman is fabulous...in a crazy Anne Heche, Margot Kidder, "cat lady" kind of way
I don't think she lost her hair. In certain scenes you can see through her scarf and see that she has grey hair. However maybe it was thinning, and for both of these things she covered up.
Little Edie is sweet and endearing the way a 7-year old girl spins around and says "look at me! Look at meeeee!" Madonna has always done the same thing, and it has always been tiresome. There's just nobody like Little Edie.
Madonna is an idiot. She claims to be Jewish, yet NOT ONE Rabbi would see her when she came to Israel because she has turned Judaism into a mockery. What an asswipe.
YES! I heard about that! Just proves Madonna is a fake as always. She has a severe identity crisis. You need to go through years of study with an Orthodox Rabbi, go in front of a Bet-Din, and Mikveh before you are converted. She did none of these. The Rabbis refused to see her. That was funny as hell. What a moron.
What a shame you don't have the respect and tolerance that Edie and her mother tried to show the world in their film. I can't believe you have the venom to criticse some else's belief system, just because a religous leader chose not to see them. Our spirituality is within each of us, to interpret for ourselves, not for others to decide if we are 'real' or not. I don't believe you have a window into Madonna's Soul do you?
It was a documentary about Jackie O's (aka Jackie Kennedy) relatives who lived in the Hamptons. They were reclusive and very excentric. They lived in deplorable condition and never left the house. It was very interesting and sad at the same time.
How many women almost 60 have their own teeth & are that thin? I hope I am that thin when I am that age. I just wonder why she wears the scarves all the time.
I love the giggle after her description of 'the costume of the day". Almost like, I know it's mad but what else can I do? She was far from mad and I would so loved to have known her
<<<< wearing bright yellow high heels, black stockings, a lime green skirt and and orange halter top... made up to the gills with a loud paisley scarf... Like Edie this woman lived with her mother. Now after hearing about the filth the Beales lived in I wonder what was this womans story.. Again I say, even the best bred of the top wealth in this counrty has its black sheeps.. In case your wondering, Bryn Mawr PA is the setting of "Philadelphia Story" Like I said not much unlike E Hampton NY.
What is it with Blue Bloods? I grew up in a town (Bryn Mawr PA)not that much diiferent from E Hampton. We had our own version of Little Edie. Never knew her name, although she was very well bred. Drove around in an orange VW Beetle... Has a striking resemblence to Joann Worley... Plus dressed like she was stuck in her mind on the set of Laugh In... And this was the late 70s early 80s... Always wore a scarf like Edie.. I will never forget the one day she was in front of me in the ACME>>>>>>
Love watching Little Edie. She's so entertaining and original. Too bad she wasn't able to attain "stardom" before her death. She's wonderful. Thanks for posting.
Absolutely brilliant! God bless the Bouviers for giving us two icons of style. Anyone else out there ever notice the fine line between religious ecstacy and secular lunacy? Seems the facial expression is exactly the same.
Wow! The world is full of Buffoons and MORONS! Anyone who cannot appreciate the BEAUTY and sincerity of this GORGEOUS woman at the age of 57 and all that she has endured and she still GLOWS with fabulous CELEBRITY...is a lost cause! AND at the same time...ALL is VANITY...ALL is in vain....Forever LOVE Little Edie Beal AND Big Edie Beale!!! Jackie doesn't hold a candle to these TRUE beautiful women!!!!Big hugs and kisses>>>>>>>>>>ALWAYS>>>>Mike Erskine Johnson
WOW! I LOVE LITTLE EDIE & BIG EDIE! I once wrote them in the 70's...but never received a reply! They must have been bewildered at the time...SO MUCH ATTENTION AND NOTARIETY!!! I hear Jackie "O" immediately got Landscapers and Trash Haulers and Painters out to the House in East Hampton to make it appear that they were not living in squalor in their 28 room manision overrun with 52 pussycats, etc! What a FABULOUS piece of United States History.... Truth is indeed STRANGER than Fiction!
That's hilarious how they took elements from this movie directly and implemented them into the broadway production. Like how the kimono bit at the beginning is an actual line. xD
(continued) So in this world of expression, and her "safe skirt meets super cape meets chic turban", Go Girl! Just don't sit next to me on the plane. (Kidding!) -Genevieve Gallen, Model and Fashion Designer/Stylist.
Hey, Prada sent bright silk turbans down the runway, Spring/Summer 2007 that have been selling out of all US boutiques at $700 plus each, while the US is in "terror" of the Middle East. A "traditional" Muslim/Islamic turban on the airport runway rather the catwalk would cite alarm not a fashion fury!?!
No disrespect was intended. This is from a very famous documentary, "Grey Gardens." It was shot in 1975 and is about a very eccentric mother and daughter who live together in a dilapidated 28 room mansion from which the title comes from. They also happened to be related to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Little Edie who is featured here was not poking fun at Muslims, the virgin Mary, Catholic nuns, or any one else for that matter.
Amazing! Great stuff. :) Has everyone seen the new Beals of Grey Garden? The original filmmakers go back to their footage and made a second movie of additional material and its amazing.
hey dewds, i made this video. probably the high point of my short-lived film editing career. i definitely love edie and mean no dishonor in this video...
Great video, and well adapted to Madonna's HungUp. Although Caroline Contillo made this video, and perezhilton just linked to it....it's a fun video and will maybe encourage folks to watch GrayGardens!
I wear my revolutionary costume every single day. Thank you Edie for inspiring me again. Madonna...well, We're both from Michigan, both raised Catholic, but...I'm cuter.
Caroline Contillo made this video, and perezhilton just linked to it.
Anyhow, what's brilliant is the implicit critique that Madonna has become Little Edie. You can't deny that their dance routines are pretty similar. The elbow popping on the porch is basically identical to a move Madonna does in her official Hung Up video. But most importantly, they share a certain tragic impulse to hang on to yesterday forever.
Yea...Madonna was the first to "pioneer" the theft of Marlene Dietrich's, Marilyn Monroe's and Peggy Lee's style, and have a close-up of her vagina in the center of her 'SEX' book, to make up for extraordinary lack of talent and vocal ability. Now Edie from 'Grey Gardens'...THAT's a true original in all ways. A wonderful woman.
The Grey Gardens documentary is, although voyeuristic and disturbing, a fascinating examination of intruiging women. Madonna is facile, and this pairing of her music to the various clis is unnecessary. Just watch the original film.
Viewing this I have to put aside my considerable dislike of Madonna's music because seeing the fabulous Edie dancing to something contemporary is so enjoyable and the song somehow fits.
and I meant "there" not "their"! such mistakes can be taken to disregard the point I am making!

Thanks for making this video, makes a perfect pre-show for my Grey Gardens movie night tonight! Or should I show it after?
