frolicking in grey gardens




Any self-respecting Grey Gardens fan will come right our and tell you that they cringed at the thought of Drew Barrymore portraying Little Edie Beale. Well, I'm here to tell you, she actually killed it.

I scored a pass to see HBO's new adaptation of Grey Gardens last night at Century Cinemas in Los Angeles. I was completely mesmerized. The costumes, sets and character likeness' were spot on. I captured a few screen shots to share from my iPhone. Ssshhh, don't tell HBO - the film doesn't premiere on cable until Saturday.

  5. When I first heard this was happening I vowed to boycott it out of loyalty to the original Grey Gardens documentary. But the other day I watched the preview for it and decided I am definitely going to see this one. Drew's accent is so spot-on it's kind of freaky!
