The Latest on TV: East Hampton Story

From the cult classic documentary to the Tony Award-winning stage musical to (now) a feature-length dramatic TV movie, the bizarre saga of the Beales of Grey Gardens continues its unlikely path through pop culture with the latter's debut on HBO tomorrow night.

Starring Jessica Lange as "Big Edie" and Drew Barrymore as "Little Edie", this new Grey Gardens recreates the acclaimed Maysles brothers' doc, fleshed out (à la the Broadway version) with flashbacks to the estate's pre-squalor days. Jeanne Tripplehorn co-stars (as Jackie O), along with Daniel Baldwin, Malcolm Gets and Ken Howard. Click here to watch the trailer.
