This April HBO will release it's version of the story of Grey Gardens. Grey Garden's tells the story of Edith "Big Edie" Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale, who were the aunt and first cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. In the early 1970's the two women were exposed for their bad living conditions and the two were subjected to numerous heath department inspections. 
A documentary titled Grey Gardens was filmed in 1975 and looked at all aspects of their lives at Grey Gardens where they lived in isolation. The documentary was then adapted into a 2006 Broadway Musical by the same name. The musical stared Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson, who both won Tony's for there performances. Now the story of Grey Gardens has taken a new form with this new HBO film. It stars Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange. The film will premier April, 18 at 8pm.
