Edith Beale Turns Cabaret Dream Into Late-Life Debut
Edith Beale, Jacqueline Onassis's cousin, aged over 60, rehearses as a cabaret singer in Greenwich Village. She performs seven songs with pianist Lewis Friedman, narrates a life in Marsh ragged Grey Gardens and hopes this act will stabilize her finances after years of caring for her late mother and facing about $3,000 yearly taxes.
