Grey Gardens

Grey Gardens, by filmmaking brothers Albert Maysles and David Maysles, is based on the life stories of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s eccentric aunt and first cousin, who were raised on Park Avenue but later withdrew from New York society, taking refuge in their Long Island summer house called Grey Gardens. Living in isolation with limited funds, their house became one of squalor. They caught the public’s attention when international tabloids picked up the story of the Suffolk County Health Department’s raid on their home, prompting Jackie to intervene and aid her relatives.
