I want her back

I'm amazed how elegant and graceful these blue bloods were on the East Coast. They were American royalty. Our debutantes that filled the newspaper headlines and social guestlists in those days. Family name and honor would get you into the finest private institutions to form the education of future political leaders. The women were prepared for their role to marry and entertain the most educated and well bred of society world-wide. That's why their parents wanted them to speak French, learn the Greek Classics, and World History. People were not only educated but had to entertain. They were expected to play an instrument like the piano, sing, recite poetry, debate on social topics, dance, and this was all to marry well. Once you were married you had four nice children, and they would be expected to be raised by nannies, instructed by tutors until they went off to boarding schools. This priviledged life wasn't easy, as the children of these families like their grandparents in the Civil War era were not at liberty to choose their destination. Their parents did.

"you have to think these things up" lol!

It’s my first time seeing this and Jinkx Monsoon did such a good job I can’t not hear Jinkx the whole time

Mercy. And more mercy. And mercy again. What are we, without mercy?

What happened to Edie's brothers?

Wait, that record is supposed to be a good voice? Oy

Thank You for this .

Love Edie!

47:52 watch her offer the cream cheese and tomato ?? if that's what it is.....the face on the first brother as he takes one and the other brother "no thanks".....LOL

True creativity and authenticity are rare LE had both in bucket loads … ❤️

She looked beautiful at 50+

"You can always take off the skirt and use it as a Cape!" Yes, cause you never know when we need a cape. Love her. She made her life the best given her circumstances! She had a pure heart. She loved life and with her limited resources, she rocked!

Best line in any movie ever.

lil Eddie reminds me of Marge from housewives of New Jersey

Why did she cover her head?

5:15 "Do you think my costume looked alright for Brooks?? I think he was a little amazed, you can't be too careful." Whenever someone quotes Little Edie saying how awfully difficult it is to keep the line between the past and present, they *always* fail to mention that she was referring to how men like her gardener Brooks may be crazed predators that want to somehow harm her because of her revealing revolutionary costume. She didn't make some profound quote. It's just a backward and ignorantly snide remark, especially seeing how Brooks wasn't paying her any mind at all. She only made the remark because like you all do, she believes that every man like Brooks is obsessed with women like her, and that's absolutely ridiculous. Brooks wasn't in any way impressed by her costume, he wasn't even bothered enough to finish listening to her talk about the price of food going up being the reason for wanting to grow a vegetable garden in the first place. . Revolutionary, huh?? A revolutionary nut .. 🙄 Brooks probably had a beautiful wife at home that knew how to keep their home clean; didn't have fleas, or smell like cat / opossum *P*. Swimming in the ocean doesn't count as having a bath. The bald chick up the road that lives in filth and squalor aren't the type of women that men like Brooks dream of bedding.. But, keep telling yourselves that every man like Brooks is after your smelly coo coo ca choo..😂😂

So sad how they were treated 😭

so these women never bathed since they had no running water???? where did they shit?

Capote’s “affect” was silly and verged on sickening. He whored himself out to anyone who paid any attention to him. I thought his writing was boring and horrible. He at least got the “exploiting” correct. 🤢

Yea when living in filth became cute! Jackie o was embarrassed

"It's very difficult to keep the line between the past and the present. Do you know what I mean?" What a wonderful, truthful sentiment.

She's iconic. A one of kind lady.

It seems that they are stuck in the 20 s

🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝 😺😺😺😺😺😺

I think the Mother just wouldn’t let the daughter leave. And when she did finally get out, the mother begged her for 3 months non stop until she gave in and came back.

I don't know why I wanted to give myself a migraine. I've been wanting to see this for a long time. 😢 it was A LOT to process.

I love this film.

I just love her

A woman before her time

Love this woman

She's so honest and sweet. Most interesting life. I'm glad she shared ❤❤

You understand!

An absolute drama and tragedy. Whatever Happened to Baby Jane meets Sunset Boulevard.

So entitled, they live in filth!

Were they eating cat food?😧

So entitled that they had no idea how to look after their home and they lived like pigs as a result

Out of her mind. So lonely. Talks incessantly about nothing.

She’s such a doll❤

Wow , what a story of entitlement

Not outfit, like we say. It the costume of the day. She also , later called this the revolution costume. I love these movies! Grey Gardens and The Beals

Skurts

wow. Hypnotic film about totally trivial people.

I love the way she dresses!!!

If I could go back in time and have a conversation with anyone it would be little Edie. I admire how she used what resources she had to create some of the most memorable fashions.

Me encantan es una delicia escucharlos

Absolutely hallucinatory. Am I watching . .. a John Waters film? A Glass menagerie? The Bizarro Kennedys?

Fashion Icon <3
