Summary
In this double length episode, we stitch two Not Dunne Yet episodes together for one big old spiderweb surrounding Grey Gardens and Big and Little Edie Beale, the most famous mother-daughter pair of Georgica Pond in East Hampton, NY. Our journey begins with a bit of investigation into Sally Quinn, featured in the last episodes, who purchases Grey Gardens from Little Edie in the late 1970s, after decades of history with The Edies. Today’s investigation weaves through decades of history with so many familiar faces from our journey.
