Out in stores from 1 December 2010, the DVD includes an audio commentary with the executive producers and a featurette comparing and contrasting the film with the original 1975 documentary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Filmmakers Albert and David Maysles catapulted the two women from virtual obscurity to cult status in the 1975 documentary that showed the mother and daughter living in squalor and near isolation in their decaying 28-room mansion. Thirty-five years later and interested in what transpired in the years before the documentary, director\/writer Michael Sucsy\u2019s original story for Grey Gardens <\/em><\/strong>offers a wry, behind-the-scenes look at the reclusive Beales that spans over four decades. Using the documentary of the same name as a framework, the film focuses on the downward spiral of their lives \u2013 from their glamorous, high society days in the 30\u2019s to the 70\u2019s and the circumstance behind their dwindling wealth and grasp on reality \u2013 and eventual financial rescue by their niece and cousin, Jackie O.<\/p>\n

Grey Gardens <\/em><\/strong>co-stars Jeanne Tripplehorn (Big Love<\/em>\u00ae from HBO) as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Ken Howard (Michael Clayton<\/em>) as Phelan Beale, Malcolm Gets (Caroline in the City<\/em>) as George \u201cGould\u201d Strong, Daniel Baldwin (Mulholland Falls<\/em>) as Julius \u201cCap\u201d Krug, and Arye Gross (Gone in Sixty Seconds<\/em>) and Justin Louis (Saw IV and V<\/em>) as the Maysles brothers.
