Ab Fab in decline.

This is a feature documentary called Grey Gardens, shot in 1975, by Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Ellen Hovde, Muffie Meyer.

Its an intimate portrait of "little" and "big" Edie Beale, a mother and daughter who lived in the derelict building in this photo above.

The two woman lived a very intriguing, isolated life, yet they do not seem to be introverts and were clearly once part of a very "high society" scene; still maintaining an impressive collection of beautiful outfits.

The film records lots of insightful moments and shows the Beale's to be lovely ladies.

See it.
