A Grey Gardens Diary?

Posted on 2:10 AM by follow me

Apparently Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale who became infamous for living like a recluse with her mother in their Hamptons home has a childhood diary! "Little Edie" who was a cousin of Jackie Onassis and is most famous for playing herself in the 1976 documentary of 'Grey Gardens'. Where both Edie and her mother were filmed living in their Hamptons House along with cats, racoons and dillusional dreams of Hollywood. 

The diary, called I Only Mark The Hours That Shine, was apparently written in 1929 when Little Edie was only 11 and is set to be published.
I am a huge fan of Grey Gardens and cannot wait to get my hands on this book. I find both Edie's so fascinating and I cannot wait to read all about Little Edie's childhood and I wonder if at just 11 years old Edie was as hopeful of her quest for Hollywoods dillusional and unobtainable glamour.

I wonder....
