Big Eddie

Happy heavenly 131st birthday to Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale, or as most of us know her - Big Edie. She was born in Nutley, New Jersey which is where her mother's Sergeant family was then-centered. It was at Woodcroft, the Bouvier home in Nutley, where she first met Phelan Beale in 1915. The young lawyer had given her father, John V. Bouvier Jr., a ride home from a gun club in his chauffeured sedan on a stormy night. Edie ran up to her room and changed into a stunning pink gown. Phelan and "Grampy Jack" were soon law partners and Edith became engaged the next July 4th. She married Phelan six months later in January 1917 and their first daughter, known as Little Edie, arrived ten months after that.

A little cagey about her age as she got older, even her headstone gives the incorrect year. When her children were young, on ship manifests she had shaved up to 4 years off her real age. But no doubt about it - Big Edie was born in 1894 per the official records and all primary evidence prior to 1900.

Happy birthday!

Little Eddie

Edie Beale in her famous cousin Jackie Onassis's hand-me-down swim cap and Scandal Suit at the end of the 1972 summer season. Immortality in the form of the Maysles beginning filming their documentary Grey Gardens was still a year away but Edie's star power is very much in evidence here...

"Staunch character" trad. une un personnage d'une force de caractère remarquable

Malgré l'isolement, la pauvreté et le regard des autres, Little Edie conserve jusqu'au bout sa singularité, son humour et son sens de la mise en scène.

"France fell but Edie didn't." - Big Edie Beale

Little Edie Beale in 1937, the summer before her 20th birthday. This photo was used by the Maysles in Grey Gardens publicity in 1975 and even appeared in People Magazine when Edie sang at Reno Sweeney.

Little Edie. Ce soir, vous aurez l'occasion de découvrir ce personnage inoubliable : une femme drôle, excentrique, brillante, tour à tour tragique et flamboyante, devenue au fil du temps l'une des figures les plus fascinantes de l'histoire du cinéma documentaire.

Sitting on her bed in the Yellow Bedroom, Little Edie Beale checks herself in a hand mirror between takes during the Grey Gardens shoot.
