Meet Big and Little Edie Beale, a mother and her middle-aged daughter, who lay claim to being the aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. They live their eccentric lives in a filthy, decaying mansion in East Hampton. Grey Gardens is an impossibly intimate portrait that quickly became a cult classic, and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen.
