Book Reviews of MemoraBEALEia: A Private Scrapbook About Edie Beale of Grey Gardens First Cousin To First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
Book Review: Absolutely Terrific!
Summary: 5 Stars
Who would have ever imagined that Mr Newkirk could exceed his marvelous recording "LITTLE EDIE - LIVE!" with a private scrapbook detailing his personal, and obviously cherished, relationship and devoted friendship he shared with Little Edie Beale, but he could, did .. and has! (Those who know him never doubted his talents or abilities for one second!) He has provided an intimate window into the life of this great woman and has allowed us to witness the true and honest accounts of the unique and beautiful qualities that proved to be the 'real' Little Edie. For this, Mr Newkirk is a real gentleman. As for the book itself: I literally stopped everything when it arrived, sat down, and read it cover to cover - twice! I am much too overwhelmed by Mr Newkirk's creation to go into lengthy detail as to why everyone and anyone who is interested in the true Little Edie Beale from Grey Gardens should own this book, except that I just had to write something and simply say: "THANK YOU!" It is indeed marvelous! too wonderful for words! I loved every word, paragraph, image, anecdote, memory ... everything! It is FABULOUS!!! The line between the past and the present becomes a little more vivid, thanks to Mr Newkirk and his book - "MemoraBEALEia!"

Summary of MemoraBEALEia: A Private Scrapbook About Edie Beale of Grey Gardens First Cousin To First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
memoraBEALEia : A Private Scrapbook about Edie Beale of Grey Gardens by Walter Newkirk, celebrates and pays tribute to Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale. Miss Beale was the first cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and is best known for her participation in the famous documentary Grey Gardens (1976). This book was specifically created for fans of the film. On April 22, 1976 college journalist Walter Newkirk traveled to Grey Gardens, the Beale estate on Long Island, to interview Edie Beale about Grey Gardens, for his college newspaper, The Rutgers Daily Targum. In the 1970s, Edie Beale and her mother Edith Bouvier Beale -- the respective cousin and aunt of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - former society ladies - were living in a cat-infested, filthy, crumbling estate called Grey Gardens in East Hampton. The interview for the Rutgers newspaper was conducted shortly after the release of the film. Newkirk and Beale kept in touch for several years, by phone and by mail. After the estate was sold and her mother died, Beale moved to New York ( from 1980-1983) and the author escorted her to luncheons, parties and special events. She later moved to Florida, and died in January 2002. memoraBEALEia contains never-before-seen photographs of Edie Beale and Grey Gardens, the Rutgers Targum interview along with a few other obscure newspaper clippings, reproductions of letters written by Little Edie (along with cards she created), and art inspired by Grey Gardens. There are also essays about Miss Beale by photojournalist/paparazzo Ron Galella, former literary agent Pat Loud (An American Family, PBS TV series, 1973) and the artist Maria Manhattan. A new movie about Edie Beale and her mother, also called Grey Gardens, starring Drew Barrymore as Little Edie and Jessica Lange as her mother Big Edie will be released during 2008.Entertainers Books
