Jessica Lange won her first Emmy Sunday for her performance in HBO’s movie “Grey Gardens,” playing a fictionalized version of the real-life Edith Bouvier Beale. The film is based on Albert and David Maysles‘ 1975 documentary about “Big Edie” and her daughter, “Little Edie,” relatives of Jackie Kennedy Onassis who were discovered living in squalor on Long Island in the early 1970s. The documentary chronicles the conditions in which they lived and the heavily codepedent relationship between mother and daughter. The HBO movie goes deeper into the the Beales’ lives, using Little Edie’s diaries to dramatize their earlier lives as members of Manhattan’s high society and their gradual retreat from the world at their summer home in the Hamptons.
