So curious what on earth was going on in Big Edie's head during those later years. But those two actresses really hit it out of the park, and Drew Barrymore was such a pleasant surprise (we all knew Jessica Lange could act already!).Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085413093222573852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-42249363991188382182009-04-21T07:27:00.000-07:002009-04-21T07:27:00.000-07:00i thought of you the minute i spotted the purple w...i thought of you the minute i spotted the purple walls and lovely wall paper..<br />Big Kiss<br />claireryannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537674626498102487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-49229422287728157372009-04-21T00:01:00.000-07:002009-04-21T00:01:00.000-07:00Lisa thank you so much for sharing these photos.

I think that I was most excited about seeing G.G. at the height of her existence. The sets, costumes, and soundtrack were spot-on perfect! <br /><br />I was lucky to attend a fantastic one "man" show of Little Edie's performance at Reno Sweeny.

It has that same easy elegance. Wonderful.
