In today's episode I'm excited to welcome Walter Newkirk to the podcast. Walter is the author of MemoraBEALEia and Letters From Little Edie Beale as well as his memoir titled The Secret Life of Walter Newkirk. Walter had the unique opportunity to visit Grey Gardens and interview Little Edie in 1976. The two started a letter writing exchange that lasted decades and Walter became a friend to Little Edie enjoying time spent at events, going for luncheon and hitting the night life of NYC. Listen in for another interesting interview that gives us a sneak peek into the life of Little Edie Beale. To order any or all of Walter Newkirk's books, email [email protected] You can purchase Fern's own GG-inspired work of historical fiction, Staunch on Amazon.com as an ebook or in paperback.
