The new HBO film Grey Gardens staring Jessica Lane (Big Eddie) and Drew Barrymore (Little Eddie) looks worth taking a chance on. I will have to wait till the film is released on DVD since I gave up HBO after the completion of my favorite series, Six Feet Under. The original documentary is available on DVD so I decided to revisit the original. Their mental illness, daily "costumes", and dysfunction sucked me in once again. The house and the gardens of Grey Gardens have been restored by a new owner rather than torn down. I had no idea that Little Eddie inspired so many fashion designers.
The HBO movie was fantastic, at times it was exactly like the original. Drew and Jessica did a great job
