Entering “Grey Gardens”, Part Two: The Marble Faun

S01 E11 Jerry Torre, famously known as the Marble Faun, opens up about his extraordinary experiences with the Beale family and shares candid moments that shaped the iconic documentary, "Grey Gardens." He sheds light on his initial encounter with Mrs. Beale and Little Edie, the authentic dynamics of the Beale household and the unique bond Jerry formed with its inhabitants, and an encounter with a former First Lady and relative of the Beales, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Jerry recounts his challenging childhood in Brooklyn and the path that led him to the Hamptons and eventually to Grey Gardens. Jerry's vivid recollections provide a touching portrait of life within the eccentric household. We also revisit memorable incidents at Grey Gardens, and Jerry’s interactions with filmmakers Albert and David Maysles. Reflecting on the lasting legacy of "Grey Gardens," Jerry discusses how the film captured a unique slice of life, and his ongoing role in preserving this extraordinary narrative.

Little Edie knew you were the tragic marble fawn at first sight and indeed within a few years the aids epidemic started and you are one of the few who lived through the epic tragedy

[@carlamackrell4077]

This is great. I was wondering who Jerry was!

[@thebradshreve]

Thanks for listening.

[@heartofglass7235]

wow. I had no idea Jerry had such a rough upbringing. i assumed he was a spoiled rich kid who didn’t want to work very hard.

[@noakialli-qb8tj]

They did the same thing with Elvis movie. Completely ignored his family members that still alive and were the closest people to him in his entire life time. So I didn’t bother to watch the movie. I feel offended for Jerry here. Enjoyed listening! Thank you.
