New
York
(ANI):
Actress
Drew
Barrymore
insists
that
while
on
the
film
sets,
she
becomes
exactly
what
her
roles
demand.
Telling
about
her
acting
technique,
she
said
that
she
gets
immersed
in
her
characters
completely.
“I
never
act
my
characters
—
I
am
them," the
New
York
Post
quoted
her
as
saying.
The
32-year-old
actress
plays
“Little" Edith
Bouvier
Beale
in
the
documentary
film
Grey
Gardens,
which
also
stars
beleaguered
Baldwin
brother
Daniel.
The
film
is
based
on
the
life
and
times
of
the
eccentric
aunt
and
cousin
of
Jackie
Kennedy
Onassis,
both
of
whom
were
named
Edith
Bouvier
Beale.
They
were
raised
on
Park
Avenue
but
later
became
recluses
who
retreated
to
their
rambling
summer
estate
in
the
Hamptons.
There,
they
lived
with
raccoons,
opossums
and
75
cats.
When
their
house
was
raided
in
1971,
health
inspectors
found
it
strewn
with
empty
cat
food
cans,
newspapers
and
cat
feces.
Onassis
later
organized
a
clean-up,
which
required
40
gallons
of
germicide.
