Grey Gardens finds another celebrity fan: Anjelica Huston!

Actress and model Anjelica Huston apparently used the Beales as inspiration of her performance in The Addams Family and The Addams Family Values. Who knew?

From IMDb

The Addams Family (1991)

Trivia

Anjelica Huston drew inspiration for her portrayal of Morticia Adams not from Carolyn Jones from the TV series but by watching Grey Gardens (1975), David Maysles and Albert Maysles's documentary about two eccentric old women found living in a decaying mansion. The women, Edith Bouvier Beale (AKA "Big Edie") and Edith 'Little Edie' Bouvier Beale, are, respectively, the aunt and cousin of the late Jacqueline Kennedy.
