Entering “Grey Gardens”, Part Two: The Marble Faun

Jerry Torre, famously known as the Marble Faun, opens up about his extraordinary experiences with the Beale family and shares candid moments that shaped the iconic documentary, "Grey Gardens." He sheds light on his initial encounter with Mrs. Beale and Little Edie, the authentic dynamics of the Beale household and the unique bond Jerry formed with its inhabitants, and an encounter with a former First Lady and relative of the Beales, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Jerry recounts his challenging childhood in Brooklyn and the path that led him to the Hamptons and eventually to Grey Gardens. Jerry's vivid recollections provide a touching portrait of life within the eccentric household. We also revisit memorable incidents at Grey Gardens, and Jerry’s interactions with filmmakers Albert and David Maysles. Reflecting on the lasting legacy of "Grey Gardens," Jerry discusses how the film captured a unique slice of life, and his ongoing role in preserving this extraordinary narrative.
