    Happy Birthday, Little Edie

    Edith Bouvier Beale aka "Little Edie" of the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens died in 2002, but she continues to inspire everyone from Broadway producers and Drew Barrymore to Rufus Wainwright. Little Edie would have been 96 this year, so let's celebrate with a few gorgeous pictures, courtesy of Grey Gardens Collections.
