Exclusive: A film adaptation of the Jerry Torre memoir The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens is in the works by Unger Media. Torre’s story was detailed in the book co-authored by him and Tony Maietta released in 2018.

Torre was nicknamed “The Marble Faun” by Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith Bouvier Beale, better known as Big Edie and Little Edie and the aunt and cousin, respectively, of former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. As a teen, Torre appeared in their 1975 documentary, Grey Gardens.

The forthcoming film, also titled The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens, will tell the story of a gay teenage runaway from Brooklyn framing Big Edie and Little Edie as the misguided guardian angels in his life—and beyond.

Leo Geter (Longmire) is penning the script and will also produce; Drew Droege and Unger Media CEO Jonathan Unger will executive produce. Torre is also involved creatively.

Imagine what it would be like to sit in a theatre and see an actor portray not only yourself, but others who are only characters to the audience - but are very real to you. Last Saturday night, Jerry Torre revisited a treasured part of his young life as he watched his past recreated at Newington Mainstage's production of Grey Gardens The Musical.
