"It's just about a girl who loved her mother" oh my heart

Yes! That very quote was so lovely. ❤🙏♥️

I was fortunate enough to have met and gotten to know Little Edie back in the 70s and she was one of the kindest women I have ever known...She was also incredibly smart and very witty....Her mother on the other hand was very controlling and could be very mean! I truly felt bad for Little Edie for many reasons...But she never thought of herself as a victim for her unwavering devotion to her mother...Also Little Edie was an amazing friend and Ally to the LGBTQ community even back then! She never judged anyone except for those who were outright mean and nasty! I often wish she was still with us today...She was wonderful to talk to and loved to tell so many stories...I was in my late teenage years then and could appreciate much of what she would tell me...but again I do remember how kind she was!

The Gray gardens documentary by filmmaker maysles brothers is fascinating. Edie was smart, intelligent, whitty, fun, jaw-dropping beautiful In her youth. A Restrictive father also ruled her mother, they smothered Edie's future to live freely, speak freely, and find love from her many suitors. What she might have become ☹️. Imho, she lapsed into a complicated, devoted, mother/ daughter Stockholm Syndrome-esque existence. 🙄🐦 RIP 🙏

@@debszakormos7919 I agree. I think Big Edie was very manipulative and very controlling. She made Little Edie crumble and doubt herself. Big Edie gaslighted her daughter, one minute praising her, the next putting her down in horrible ways. I wish Little Edie had left her mother, but then, she wouldn´t be the Little Edie we love and admire.

She seemed very kind and wise. I only wish she could have found love, yet she lived out her end years peacefully. I always watch the doc over and over.

She was actually incredibly smart and deep.I could listen to her talk about anything all day. I wish she had more friends around her at that time.

Yes. Had she been raised in a normal way (Big Edie was everything BUT normal. Bit of a lunatic) she might have had a far more successful, far less interesting life. Her mother's personality shaped everything about Evie. Sweet natured Little Edie did what Mother Darling told her to do. Hearing the what-ifs and the sadness in her voice in GG, yet with the optimism still there, that maybe it will still happen for her. It did happen, for a time after her mother's death she had an act and performed here and there. She chose hope and optimism. Her strength is titanium.

Edie Beale was a very intelligent and well-read woman. She also had a natural eye for fashion. Her mother’s death actually helped her blossom and come out of her shell. She had her nightclub act, and according to her niece in law Eva Beale who was in regular (in-person) contact with her, she had a normal, active social life in Florida, and she swam every day in the ocean until she died.

I could listen to Edie talk all day long. 😊

An absolute sweetheart and very clever as she never criticised anyone - avoided knocking people.

In the end, she moved to Florida, had her own place all to herself, and had her time on the stage, performing, living out her dream.

I love her. What a privilege for anyone who came across her path. She's so special.

She seems more lucid. She was definitely more lucid than when she was around her mother. It's so sad that her mother made her a symbiotic twin and not let her thrive, but Edie seemed to somehow manage to find her own happiness.

I really don't think she was crazy, sure maybe different but she was a sweet, good person who was controlled and manipulated by her mother rather than being crazy.

Edie was so perceptive. I remember from Grey Gardens she said something like politicians act as if no one has any pride and they run roughshod over everyone...brilliant! and more true today than ever

just the kind of person you would like to spend time with.

She is so magnetic and magnificent! So beautiful and her voice is soothing.

Edie’s completely natural , just authentically herself❤

Edie Beale was a fashionista and creative. I'm so glad that she was able to blossom on the screen. RIP Edie you certainly left your mark on this blue marble.

She's gorgeous, looks better than in the doc's.

VERY SPECIAL human being

Lil' Eddie was so vulnerable ! She didn't say things to impress - it was really true for her & the times.

Little Edie held her own with this guy. I hesitate to refer to him as an interviewer. I mean, those are the best questions he could come up with? I wish someone had just asked "Can you tell me about yourself?" and let her run with it!

I adore little Edie❤

Edie was just a sweetheart, & so interesting. I love to hear her stories. I just love her. Rest In Peace lovely Edie.🙏🙏💙💙

She had the most soothing voice.

Man oh man she’s so right about modern art. FABULOUS taste?: CONFIRMED.

Edie was a personable, intelligent woman. It was a pleasure watching this interview.

She was so pretty ❤

she's from the heart. Human. i do believe God loves us to be this way

It’s like she’s playing a part in play and making up the lines as she goes along to cope with great difficulties and maintain her dignity.

I love her voice

Any and all Beale documentaries are worth wat ching over and over again. Marvelous!!

Little Edie was ahead of her time! She was genuine,honest,creative,talented,gentle,intuitive,compassionate,naive,highly intelligent,beautiful and charming...i could go on. 😊I wish i knew her. I would have cherished her presence. ❤ you lil Edie😺

She was so singularly unique and enchanting! Just wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing - there is not nearly enough Edie content. What a treasure.

Loved her, could listen to her all day with her stories

Ive never seen this interview...she is so sweet... I hope she found happiness in life❤

I just love her...she is so positive

Dear Sweet, delicate, charming classy Edie ❤

Such an Intelligent &. Beautiful♥️Lady, Edie.😌

Thank you for this. I've only just 'discovered' this woman Edie Beale this past week from watching Grey Gardens and already I'm fascinated and enchanted by her. I can see why so many people adore her.

There is an entire documentary here on KZread on them. There were some cinematographers that lived in the house with them for several months and filmed their daily lives in hopes of selling their story and splitting the profits. The interest in doing so was because they were both related to the Kennedy's but were shunned by them. You have to see that documentary. In recent years their was a series made called by the same name - Grey Gardens which started Drew Barrymore and another actress. It was a pretty good movie but we all wondered why it was made in the first place since the real life family documentary already exists. Oh well.

Predicting Global warming lol…Edie had so much natural charisma, was enchanting, elegant, intriguing, odd and unusual. All things that make for the most interesting of characters. She would for sure be one of my fantasy dinner guests.

I can't believe this EXISTS!!! So exciting. Thank you for sharing this treasure!!!

How interesting to see these new films which I've never seen before!

She’s more intelligent than the interviewer. She seems like a nice person and cool to have a conversation with

S.T.A.U.N.C.H. I DO adore you, Edie Beale.

What a wonderful surprise to see this clip! I just love Little Edie she was such a sweet soul.

This is unreal to see this. I have been searching for something like this for years. Love Edie so much

Edie sounds like a very interesting intelligent person. The interviewer seems to be trying to trap her into saying something ridiculous but she is politely refusing. I think her main problem was that she simply hadn’t been out in the world in a long time, stuck at home taking care of her mother.

Don’t know why the comments are hard on the interviewer. He is a bit young but he really asked some interesting questions. And the Zep helped.

I agree with you. Some of Edie's fans are calling themselves "overprotective" and it must be the reason. As an atypical person, I don't see anything wrong with this guy's attitude. He was even actively nice at some points, maybe even flirty, just a little bit.

She so nice she didn't have anything mean to say about anyone only nice compliments very nice woman

I LOVE Little Edie, of course. I HATED that punk interviewer guy. He was trying to make FUN of her, like trying to get "info" out of her to FURTHER his story....

Where can I find the entire interview? I could watch little Edie all day and never get tired or bored. When I discovered “Grey Gardens” I watched it everyday, I just walked around with earbuds in so I could listen, because that’s how interesting and captivating those women were, the original “Podcast “ 😁 but to add the video of them is icing on the cake because then you get to see their clothes and surroundings and how poised they always were. I wish I could find more videos like this. Timeless.

Very articulate and a wonderful conversationalist.

Wicked cool human ❤❤❤ Imagine if she had a KZread channel 😉

Isn’t she lovely❤. So wonderful to see this.

What a beautiful soul. 💙

Edie Beale and Jackie Kennedy. The two classiest women to ever come out of America!

Wow her voice and inflections sound so much like Jackie. It’s such a unique accent

Such a pretty woman. I find her extremely interesting and I love her stories. Very eccentric like my old landlord. What happened to her after her mother died. I see their home was renovated which I’m glad to see instead of being torn down.

omg little Edie is absolutely fascinating and I agree with those here who say they could listen to her talking all day long! She's a totally unique one of a kind person who knows what she is doing and what she is saying and is way too smart to be manipulated by the likes of this ridiculous interviewer.

I was just thinking the same thing. I was 8 years old when the documentaries were made about her and her mother. You can tell little Edie was very intelligent, and I loved hearing her speak. I, too, wish she was still alive today.

this was amazing. thank you anton
