Pas d'accord! Pas de champagne, pas de television!

Cool! I’ve always heard of this show, but I’ve never seen it.

Very faboo!

Well what idiot puts a washing machine that high on the wall?

A flawed homage to Grey Gardens. I could totally buy Diller as Big Edie, but they didn't really have a Little Edie. At least until Billy DeWolfe came onboard mid-season.

Ah but this was several years before the film. The Beales weren't discovered until after the raccoons began eating the house.

Apparently Diller was a frequent weekend guest of theirs in the early 60's, before their later public notoriety, which probably inspired her to do the teevee show.

Here's a photo (probably taken by Little Edie) of Phyllis with one of the Beale's cats:

And Diller is wearing one of the raccoons.

She like totally started her career here in San Francisco.

That explains so very much.
