Oh dear, Albert Maysles, the genius behind Grey Gardens, died Thursday.
Some, but not by any measure all of my favorite Gray Gardens quotes:
- If you can’t get a man to propose to you, you might as well be dead.
- …there’s anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman. S-T-A-U-N-C-H.
- Edie! Open a can of pate!
- … this is the revolutionary costume!
Going to see this tonight on the big screen! Now, which costume of the day to wear?

” I don’t like women in skirts and the best thing is to wear pantyhose or some pants under a short skirt, I think. Then you have the pants under the skirt and then you can pull the stockings up over the pants underneath the skirt. And you can always take off the skirt and use it as a cape. So I think this is the best costume for today.” Little Edie.

And now I’ll never have *my* shot at being filmed by him!
Mother will be very disappointed.
