Drew Barrymore's in Grey Gardens

Drew Barrymore appears to have found the role that’ll take her away from her usual comfort zone of rom-coms and Charlie’s Angels. Grey Gardens is anything but warm and fuzzy.

She’ll play Little Edie, an eccentric relative of former US first lady Jacqueline Kennedy in a fact-based drama (read: some truth, a whole lot of supposition). Jessica Lange has also signed on, playing Big Edie Bouvier Beale, her mother. The pair were the cousin and aunt of Jackie K and hit the headlines across the pond when Kennedy had to step in and rescue her family from public ridicule after the pair let their house get a little, shall we say, natural, with fleas and raccoons as their uninvited housemates.
