Garden Delight

This Saturday on HBO, the captivating real life story centered around the inhabitants of the mythical Grey Gardens estate will make its much anticipated debut. The hype has no doubt been garnered from the publicity received from its high profile stars, Drew Barrymore who portrays the unpredictable Little Edie Beale and Jessica Lange who breathes life into Big Edie. This mother and daughter duo act also happened to be related to one of the most famous women in the world - Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. This fact only adds more layers to an already multifaceted story that spans decades and forces the two actresses to each age more than forty years. All the efforts definitely paid off and audiences will no doubt be drawn to the rise and fall of these two stunningly complicated characters. And perhaps in the process the haunting tone that has plagued Grey Gardens for years will be explained. Don't miss it on HBO this Saturday at 8pm.
