Cousin Lois Erdman Wright, "the palmist of the Hamptons!" She is featured in both documentaries and declares to Little Edie, "Im NOT a Gyspy" when Edie tells her she "should have worn a costume" to read palms.. :)

For those who aren't long time subscribers of HBO, there is a function that allows one to start the movie over from the beginning. I'm not sure if it's an HBO thing or a provider thing (I have digital cable with Time Warner), but it's definitely something to at least check out if you're not going to be home at eight, or you want to watch it again, but don't want to wait till the next showing.

Hope that's somewhat relevant/helpful. :)

Yeah, its called a DVR and all cable and satellite services have them. Most people are familiar with Tivo, which is a DVR for those who don't use the one supplied by their cable/satellite service.

I'm so excited! It will be nice to revisit the Edies.

I"m specially looking forward to it because all this time I've been wondering how these women ended up the way they did; and neither the documentary nor the show gave you that info. This film supposedly will do that. Can't wait!!

I heard that there are parts in the movie that really didn't happen.

[BrodyFosse123]

Well, you heard wrong. Everything in the film is based on documents and letters from the real women. Also, Albert Maysles (one the directors of the original documentary) was technical advisor on this HBO film as were several Bouvier/Beale family members. Only the sequence of Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis' visit is all heresay as there is no documentation of any of Jackie's conversations with her aunt and cousin during her visits to Grey Gardens.

11 minutes...

Well I don't have the DVR service, or at least, I'm not paying for it, so maybe it's something different, or just a slip up from the cable company.

10 minutes! :)

I don't know if I was impressed by Drew Barrymore, or if she was just a product of good direction. Either way...it was one of the most amazing HBO films. I also have never openly weeped watching a film in a while. It was fantastic.

I'm still trying to let it all sink in, haha...

I thought Drew was fantastic. She was true to the real Edie, yet retained some of her own personality. I don't know if that makes sense, but it worked beautifully.

Great Movie! Just finish it. Jessica Lange is superb! there were times that I forgot that she's an actress playing the role. she IS big edie. Drew was great too!

Where's Jerry?

Brian, that does make sense and it is one reason I had a problem with her Little Edie. I kept seeing Drew Barrymore poking through. Jessica Lange was brilliant as Big Edie however.

[jaystarr]

Posted: 4/18/09 at 10:53pm

^^ I completely agree with you. sometimes I see Drew Barrymore too. unlike Jessica Lange- she was completely Big Edie.

Gosh! She SHOULD win an acting award for GG! Lord! I love Jessica Lange!

Absolutely terrific !!! Loved Drew ! Thought she was excellent !!

How funny-I couldn't stop seeing Jessica Lange while watching big Edie. But it doesn't matter to me that I was always aware of who the actresses were. They were terrific.

I also was constantly aware of Christine Ebersole in the show, but that didn't take away from her magnificent performance.
