Drew Barrymore’s Grey Gardens

nasty backside

LOL…IF YOU’RE IN CANADA…IS NO SECRET…IS IN TORONTO (CENTRE ISLAND)

looks like this is for the grey gardens movie drew started filming yesterday.

shut up

looking old.

I love these pictures because it shows that Drew does not have a perfect body and she doesn’t care and she’s not trying to be perfect.

No human being is perfect, from contorted noses, rickety-style legs, mis-shapen lips, weird skinny looking & bony thighs, cellulite, the list goes on and on, NO ONE is perfect, EVERYONE has a deformity[internal or external] and it says a lot about you as an individual if you’re willing to admit/accept/show your imperfections for all to see. It is time people stopped looking at photoshopped magazine covers thinking that the pictures on the covers of their favorite celebs are indeed reality. This is what is wrong with the world today, no wonder children grow up with self-esteem and image problems.

love drew she’s so gorgeous and cuteeeeeeeeeeeee

Miss Lumpy Rump

She is so beautiful. I love her style and how she seems real and down to earth.

She is beautiful she is fabulous she is a woman not a Beverly Hills mannequin. The way she moves the expressions on her face she looks just like Edie. She will be terrific.

This makes no sense casting-wise…Little Edie was 57 when the Health Department thing went down in 1974/75, the documentary that introduced us to the eccentricities of Little Edie was made in 1976 (she died at age 80 in 2002), Big Edie was 80-ish (Jessica is how old?). The hit Broadway play Grey Gardens had actress’s who were close to those ages play those ages …I don’t get it…Unless they are doing a totally new angle where each character is MUCH younger, like 20 years before Grey Gardens…otherwise, Drew is TOO young and not skilled enough to pull off Little Edie’s accent and her mannerisms..I mean Little Edie was NUTS, I don’t see Drew being able to pull her nuerotic, paranoid and child-like ticks off. She could barely do an english accent in that Cinderella thing she did..”just breath”…oh whatever…love Drew though.
If you haven’t seen Grey Gardens or the follow up to it (the doco that shows all of Little Edies ripped and torn up creations plus more of the poor house that was barely standing) PLEASE rent it, absolutely amazing.

I’d also like to point out that Little Edie had to wear headscarves ALL THE TIME because she either had lost all her hair naturally or she had pulled it out in clumps herself because of her neurosis. Drew has a full head of flowing hair here…this should tell us alot about what direction they are exploring with the film, probably the time that Little Edie had to move back to Grey Gardens to take care of her mother when her mother didn’t want to be alone, which is the time that Little Edie gave up her life for her mother and subsequently became “eccentric” and “a staunch character”….if you haven’t seen the documentary RENT IT NOW!!!

I don’t know why some people seem to have so much difficulty grasping the fact that this film is about the decades leading up to the raid and the Maysles documentary. Edie wasn’t born 56 and bald you know she had hair we’ve seen pictures of it. I doubt that Drew would have the role if she can’t do the accent she knows there are a lot of dedicated Edie fans out there I think she’ll do just fine.

We’ll just have to keep an open mind I’m sure that the subject is an inspiration to her and she’ll do good work. This is unlike anything she’s ever done before. People who are fond of Edie really should be encouraging and positive not picking away at Drew.

Why she’s in any movie is beyond me! She can’t act at all and her lisp and crooked mouth ruin anything she tries to remember and say. “Well, thit, I juss have to memorithe these worths.” Loser!

Drew should take some acting classes or give up trying to play anything but comedies.

The audience has given her many chances and she has made millions playing herself. Please don’t blame the audience for Drew’s lack of range.

How do you know? It might be t that very limited perception that has kept her from being offered more challenging and serious parts .Lots of actors known primarily for doing light romances and comedies have surprised audiences by doing excellent work in dramatic roles. I think people are being unkindly critical and with no good reason.

This scene is set in the late 1930’s. The movie depicts what really happened to the women based upon Edie’s own journals, letters and saved family documents. It isn’t based upon the musical or the documentary. Drew desperately wanted this role, and has worked for months perfecting the voice and mannerisms. Do you think she and the creative team are not aware of all of these fan concerns. Wait until yo see the attention to detail this film provides. Give these people a chance.

. I think people are being unkindly critical and with no good reason.

Oh please wah wah wah. Cry Cry Cry.
She’s made millions out of being an average actress.

I saw LUcky you or me? with Eric Bana.. And please don’t blame the audience for Drews lisp. Ok? That’s not acting.

Whatever its’ like casting Angelina to play a biracial afro cuban woman. Or Rose getting her roles on the Rodriguez casting couch.

Get some real actors and actresses in these roles.
There are tons of SAG actors who can’t find jobs, and these
losers cast themselves. IT’s a JOKE.

Man, you americans got some problem! Gosh, everyone is SO JUDGMENTAL! I’ve never seen that. Just see the imperfections on people!!! I met Drew and she’s totally hot! And I don’t see any problem with her ******* mouth! She’s A PERSON!!! GO TAKE CARE OF YOUR CELULLITE, ’cause I BET you all got more than her and doesn’t have a hot body like her! Living in that country with that alimentation I so bet. GOOOOOOOD, YOU’RE PATHETICS!!!! I think you all envy her. Look at that pictures bigger… she looks awesome! You’re a lot of fat stupid boring people! WAKE UPPPPPPP!

god, that comments are ridiculous. seems like you envy her because she really has a good body. so what she’s got cellulite (a little of). every woman has. hahaha, i don’t know if i want to cry or laugh at this.

I think Drew will be prove her ability with this performance

you guys are sadly pathetic.

Pathetic? That’s not very nice.

not very nice, but the truth. how can you say she’s “all over” celullite. god. and you actually say she’s not talented because she always play the same genre in movies. when she was like 20 she did just dramas, did ya know? she said that she loves romantic comedies and since she started her company she CHOOSE the film she want to do. and now, she want some new roles. some of you say she’s not talented, but she didn’t have the chance to show it!!!!!!! actually she did, but the ignorant people didn’t see movies like poison ivy and mad love, that she interpreted perfectly.

I think you guys are envying her. Definitely. Because she REALLY has not THAT MUCH of celulite. It looks normal. You people are haters. you’re disgusting.

Also if she doesn’t want to hear people complaining about her acting skills, please for the love of God stop making the same movie with romantic leads.

I AM BEGGING YOU!!!

Hey you know what’s mean….

ruining a classic!

Thanks Drew!

Ruining a classic? Shut your ******* mouth up. You’re ignorant, clid. Go see the movie first, please. And if it sucked, you say what you think.

Come on guy’s give ita chance . My understanding is that the film will fill in MANY missing links to the Beales story . I for one am very interested in knowing more about those years-before Edie came home to Mamma and after.Yes the doc is a classic- but there is much more to the story . And I am excited about the actors chosen to play the roles Lange and Barrymore.

Hey how is mean to say that Drew is not suited or qualified to play Little Edie?

Have YOU seen the documentary? Hello. Wake up.

Sweet Patty, you haven’t seen the movie, huh? I’m sorry but putting a famous actress like Drew (could be any other FAMOUS actress) in THAT silly and secondary character was wrong. Go study some cinema. And hey, did you watch MAD LOVE, POISON IVY, RIDING IN CARS WITH BOYS, DOPPELGANGER or AMY FISHER with her? No. If you had you wouldn’t be saying those stupid things here. So be quiet.

MAD LOVE, POISON IVY, RIDING IN CARS WITH BOYS, DOPPELGANGER or AMY FISHER with her?

all shite movies.
please go study some cinema.

Not kids, adults with strong opinions about stupid Hollywood crappy movies. **** Hollywood.

her best movie was E.T. she is overrated fo sho!

they are doing a biopic version of grey gardens? who greenlighted this i need to know so i can kill them?

Unless you’re TWELVE, everyone woman has cellulite. Sheesh, idiots.

Can’t wait for this movie! LOVE those crazy broads!

Here you can watch the Grey Gardens Documentary here.
It’s one of the most touching humane portraits of crazy people.

Don’t bother wasting your time with this crappy remake. Hollywood has no soul, just egomaniacs and shittie producers who never went to film school.

I like her dress a lot.

grey garden????? more like cottage cheese!

I’m sorry but take care of WHAT? Celulite? Dahling, every woman got celulite. Its so normal. She’s not like those celebs who see a little celulite or whatever and go operate. And truly, there’s just a little bit of celulite. She doesn’t need do nothing.

Thats unexpected to see some intelligent comments regards the role Drew is playing

Grey Gardens is an incredible documentary and I for one am looking forward to a screen adaptation. They can make a musical so why shouldn’t they make a film?

Drew Barrymore as an actress has more depth than most she knows what to do with at times and mostly plays quirky off beat characters even in Romantic comedys. She is very capable of playing characters at different ages - see ‘Riding In Cars With Boys’ and ‘Never Been Kissed’.

She is perfect to the role of Little Eddie.

Looking at those pics the look it might seem as though she’s a little too glamourous but the pic posted by DEL illustrates the point that the looks are pretty right.

It could be another film where Drew gets to play another character at different stages in life. Looking forward to this one.

In reply to dumb hollywood

MAD LOVE, POISON IVY, RIDING IN CARS WITH BOYS, AMY FISHER
are first class films. If you want to be technical the later is a TV movie rather than a cinematic/theatrical release - perhaps you haven’t study cinema that carefully?

I’ll give you DOPPELGANGER - Drew herself said that she’d rather poke needles in her eyes than watch that one. No ones pretending ‘Doppelganger’ is a masterpiece but that doesn’t mean someone somewhere can’t find merit or enjoyment from it.

Drew Barrymore is a very talented actress and has made several brilliant thoughtful, funny, moving and highly entertaining and intelligent films as an actor and producer ( and she is working as producer on Grey Gardens). But don’t trust what I say

Any fool can espouse critical cliches and tell others who don’t toe the party line to educate themselves or go see something. Theres a fine line between education and brainwashing.

excume me, but how do you know? just because she has done a lot of rom com? people can be so ignorant. everyone who has seen those movies doesn’t think the same.

Last year, fans of the documentary “Grey Gardens” were horrified to learn that a feature film adaptation was in the works starring Drew Barrymore as Little Edie. Luckily, it never happened until now. HBO has announced they are going forward with the film keeping Drew and adding Jessica Lange as Big Edie.

The documentary was also turned into a critically-acclaimed Broadway musical last year.

Here we go again! Messing with things that shouldn’t be messed with. However, if you’re going to eff this up at least do it with people that can act. Drew Barrymore cannot handle her lisp AND Little Edie’s New England accent at the same time. Trainwreck in the making!

And can Jessica Lange even show expression in her face anymore?!

Why is she dating Justin Long

I heard he was gay

Princessa darling you couldn’t be more right. Let all these booboo critics have their fifteen minutes of fame. Drew will be terrific Jessica will be terrific and the film will be terrific, a tribute to the Beales.

Oh my gosh, you guys are so cruel. She looks like a normal human being, and I think she is beautiful. There is nothing at all wrong with her, and she has NO cellulite! I love the fact that she isn’t stick then like most celebs. She is GORGEOUS!

Justin really is gay

I am counting the minutes until the movie is released, and when will it ? I have both of the documentarys, have seen each more than once, and continue to discover more each time I watch them. I wish there was a televised version of the musical, which I haven’t seen. I have high expectations of “accurate portrayals” and hope Drew and Jessica can pull it off. Wouldn’t it be “absolutely amazing” if the movie is a huge hit, and the present owners of Grey Gardens were to transform the estate into a museum to honor the late Beales…..
