For Video Edition, Please Click and Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/live/jXHLKM1UDw4?feature=share The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say ‘no’ to almost everything.” – Warren Buffett Jerry Torre fled an abusive father to tend to the neatly manicured lawns of socialite mansions in East Hampton, New York. He rode his bike a different way than usual one day and approached a house where the hedges in front were so overgrown that only two peaks of the gabled roof beyond it were visible. This house belonged to Mrs. Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith Bouvier Beale, aunt and first cousin, respectively, of Jacqueline Kennedy; descendants of a well-bred New York family, whose names were found in the Social Register and on invitations for coming out parties and debutante balls. Today, of course, Mrs. Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith Bouvier Beale are more commonly known as Big Edie and Little Edie. And they are known not for being in society, but rather for shunning all of society when high society wouldn’t accept their eccentricities. They chose instead to hole up in a neglected East Hampton mansion for more than twenty-five years, only opening to door to a few guests, one of whom was Torre. They were made famous, along with Jerry, and that rotting mansion called Grey Gardens, by the 1975 Albert and David Maysles documentary of the same name that became a cult sensation. So grab some Cheddar Cheese and join Zachary Ford and I as we celebrate The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens.
