Based on a true story, this made-for-TV, Emmy-winning drama stars Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore as the aunt and cousin of Jackie Kennedy Onassis (Jeanne Tripplehorn), both named Edie Beale, who retreat from tony Manhattan society to a mansion in East Hampton, N.Y. After years in isolation, the women are thrust into the spotlight when journalists report on a series of health inspections that find the house -- and its owners -- in shocking disarray. Ken Howard co-stars.

5 stars. Loved it...but don't think I'd like it as much if I hadn't seen the original documentary that I didn't like. Great story and gives you much more insight into the spiral downward!
