New CD Celebrates 'A Visit To Grey Gardens'

Celebrate Little Edie's birthday by treating yourself to "a special visit to Grey Gardens"....

On April 22, 1976 college journalist Walter Newkirk traveled to Grey Gardens to interview Edie Beale about the movie Grey Gardens for his college newspaper, The Rutgers Daily Targum.



Walter was accompanied to Grey Gardens by a photographer for the newspaper named Jeff Holtzman, and Bob Sennett, a music writer for the paper. His interview was conducted with a hand held portable cassette tape recorder. The tape (now transferred to CD) was used as the basis for the newspaper interview. During the interview Edie talks about her life, the raid, Jackie, Lee Radziwill, Peter Beard, her brothers Phelan and Bouvier, Spanish music, and assorted other topics.
This tape was played for several members of the Grey Gardens fansite during the last year. Several people seemed to like the contents of the interview, and wanted to own it - including myself.
