No Vacancies At Grey Gardens
Grey Gardens is getting some new tenants -and no, unlike many of the Beale’s acquaintances, the cats and raccoons are not making their way out of the woodwork to get a piece of all the recent Grey Gardens action.
WWD reports Grey’s current owners, Sally Quinn and her husband Ben Bradlee, have signed a five-year lease with popular Manhattan socials Boykin Curry and Celerie Kemble, who along with their clan will be residing at the iconic East Hampton estate come September.
“Ever since the couple bought Grey Gardens from Little Edie Beale in 1979, they have rented it out, save for the month of August when they use the home. The last inhabitants, Quinn said, lived there for 12 years. Curry and Kemble’s five-year contract is the lengthiest that’s been issued. Neither party disclosed the rental price, but in May it was rumored Quinn and Bradlee were asking $30,000 for Aug. 28 through Sept. 7 alone.”
