She was discovered dead in her apartment on January 14, 2002, after a concerned fan could not reach her on the phone. She had been dead about 5 days from a presumed heart attack at age 84. She was cremated and a memorial service was held in the local Catholic church in East Hampton.
Arresting in her dress, and entertaining in her speech, Edie has become a cult star. She and her mother were very quotable. Two spreads in Vogue have been dedicated to her unique style. She is considered to be a gay icon as her life was highlighted so fondly in an obituary in Gay Wired back in January 2002.[1] Her place, Grey Gardens, is also the subject of a song by Rufus Wainwright. An off-Broadway musical "Grey Gardens - A New Musical" debuted in March 2006 starring Christine Ebersole. An unannounced illustrated biography and major motion picture "Grey Gardens" (2007) starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange show that this cult icon is emerging as a pop culture phenomenon.
She was survived by three nephews and one niece.
