-Gail Sheehy's 1972 article is as gripping and readable as ever.
-I understand the HBO movie left out the "red shoes" bit. Pity! I'll be seeing it tonight.

FF to today, my mother calls me, she had just seen the HBO movie, adored it. (She had also loved the documentary GG, she had seen it in recent years and fell in love with the Beale women.) She had been so into the film, and had forgotten meeting Bo Beale many years ago, and when I reminded her, she was astonished- "I wondered what happened to those brothers!" It was sweet and funny, she was startled that a character in a "drama" was someone she had actually met once.
Little Edie- "East Hampton.. a nasty Republican town. They can get you for wearing red shoes on a Thursday!" Sing it, sister. ~

I was a blank slate on the whole story, so my expectations were decidedly low, but I was really quite pleasantly surprised.

Loved the show overall, though, and derived a bonus thrill from the prospect of Oscar-winning Lange being "married" to the White Shadow. ("Hey Phelan--where's Salami?!") Drew basically pulled it off, I think; if she was ever cartoony, then I think that was the fault of the script. Also: Am I the only one who watched the movie while thinking, "You know, I've REALLY got to clean my house ..."?
