Albert and David Maysles’ iconic film, “Grey Gardens,” captured the dilapidated yet captivating world of Edith and Little Edie Beale, who were closely related to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.

With Beard’s memories and creative insights at its core, “That Summer (2017)” whisks us back to the enchanting summer of 1972, offering a fascinating glimpse into a world where figures like Warhol, Bacon, Jagger, and Capote thrived in defiance of societal constraints.
