I just watched this 4 times and each time my eyes teared-up.

April couldn't arrive sooner as we've been waiting for this HBO production for what seems like years.

I feel it will be more than any of us could ever have imagined or expected.

This does actually look terrific...it's the first I've seen or heard of this film in a while. Can't wait.

Wow, this looks really good. I always knew Drew Barrymore had a good actress hidden under that romantic-comedy cutesy personality. I hope this movie is as good as that teaser looks.

I recently received the limited edition photo book of Little Edie's life (much delayed from it's original release date). At first I thought Drew Barrymore was all wrong for the role. Once I saw all the photos of Little Edie in her prime, I have to say that Drew is PERFECT! Hopefully she will be able to convincingly do Little Edie's accent! Some of these clips look like she was torn out of the family photographs!

From Vogue Magazine:
"Before she left for Toronto, she tells me proudly, she took off almost fifteen pounds--strictly through exercise, without cutting out her beloved Johnny Rocket cheeseburgers or "bowls of pasta." Her weight now fluctuates between 110 and 115, and the dresses she wore for this photo shoot were a size 4.) But naturally, there is another, more serious reason for the treadmill's presence: Her voice coach said her lungs needed to be in shape to get the voice right."

The film looks wonderful, but it makes me kinda wish they'd just adapted the musical...

Oh what a treat. HBO's telepic rendition of "Grey Gardens" with Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange looks fabulous, absolutely fabulous.

I don't say that lightly because I love love love the Maysles' brothers 1975 docu. It's a gem that my husband found late night on cable years ago -- many moons before the Broadway show -- and made me watch.

By the way, the second link posted doesn't work either (for me at least). Does anyone have a workable link? Thanks.

Drew & Jessica appeared together at the Golden Globes last night, working the red carpet together as well as presenting together. They both came across as total ditzes; perhaps they were in character?

It worked a few days ago. HBO must have found it.

I must have been living under a rock. I knew nothing of it's existence and never saw this thread before!

I just saw the trailer for this today while watching HBO during my snow day off from work. (and we dont' even have THAT much snow!)


If the writing and the acting live up to the "look" of the movie, this might be absolutely TREMENDOUS.

I am very excited to see this.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
