Movie: Grey Gardens
While talking with friends about their favorite movies “Grey Gardens” was brought up. We had never heard about the film. There was a documentary made in 1975 about Big Eddie and Little Eddie. They were the relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis .
What an interesting and odd Mother & Daughter they were. In 2008 there was a HBO movie made about them too. After watching the film we goggled Grey Gardens and were caught spending several hours learning more. Watch this film if you dare!
