Little Edie was truly one of one—a dazzling original whose legacy continues to inspire. This weekend, we hope yours is just as fantastical as she was.
Born Edith Bouvier Beale, Little Edie became a cult icon thanks to her unforgettable appearance in the 1975 documentary film “Grey Gardens,” where she starred alongside her mother, Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale.
The film captured their eccentric, reclusive lives as cousins of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, living in a decaying mansion in East Hampton, New York. With her signature headscarves, poetic musings, and fierce independence, Little Edie became a symbol of unapologetic individuality and bohemian glamour.
