From Little Edie's Wikipedia article: Edith Bouvier Beale (November 7, 1917 - January 9, 2002) was an American socialite. She was a first cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill.
She is best known as "Little Edie," one of the subjects of the documentary film Grey Gardens by Albert and David Maysles. Arresting in her dress, and entertaining in her speech, Edie has become a cult star. She and her mother, Edith Ewing Bouvier referred to as "Big Edie", were very quotable.
