Hard to find rolled, never folded example. "Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and her only daughter, Edith Bouvier Beale, aunt and cousin to Jacqueline Kennedy and otherwise known as Big and Little Edie, spent half a century there enveloped in gothic scurf, attended by an army of cats and raccoons, and surrounded by the decaying accouterments of the social class from which they had exiled themselves. Their cloister was lovingly, appallingly captured by Albert and David Maysles, the cinéma vérité filmmakers whose 1975 documentary about them became a cult classic. Afterward, Little Edie, with her upside-down outfits, florid, looping drawl and naïf-savant proclamations, emerged as a campy philosopher and gay idol. Grey Gardens as an idea — of the tenderness between monster mothers and thwarted daughters; of atmospheric decay and upper-class fetishism; of plucky élan and gorgeous optimism — has waxed and waned over the years, gaining or leaking fuel as the times decried."
