In the Shadows of Grey Gardens

2012

1h 4min

A documentary that records the darkly humorous sequence of events leading up to a seance to manifest Big Edith Bouvier Beale and Little Edie Bouvier Beale so they can attend a celebration of the 35th anniversary of the original Maysles Grey Gardens film. Based on the fascinating archives and life of Lois Wright, artist and mystical Hamptons member of the original Beale ensemble who lived at Grey Gardens for 13 months and was an intimate friend of Big and Little Edie. Discloses never before seen photos and information and parodies Hamptons-style parties with ghost list invites to celebs such as Frank Sinatra and John Gotti.
