Jerry Torre is a native New Yorker, a Brooklyn Italian. He is perhaps best known for his appearance in the Maysles brothers’ 1975 documentary Grey Gardens, as well as the 2006 follow-up entitled The Beales of Grey Gardens. During his time at Grey Gardens, Jerry was given the nickname “The Marble Faun” by Edith “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale. Jerry was later portrayed in the musical adaptation of Grey Gardens on Broadway (2006) as The Marble Faun.
Grey Gardens is a 1975 documentary film by Albert and David Maysles, with Susan Froemke, Ellen Hovde, and Muffie Meyer. The film depicts the everyday lives of the two Edith Beales, a reclusive socialite mother and daughter of the same name who lived at Grey Gardens, a decrepit mansion in the wealthy town of East Hampton, NY. In a 2014 Sight and Sound poll, film critics voted Grey Gardens one of the best documentaries of all time.
Jerry Torre appears in the documentary as the young gardener/handyman, as well as their close friend. Jerry worked for Gerald Geddes who owned the mansion next to Grey Gardens. After riding his bicycle past the dilapidated house many times he finally decided to ride up the driveway one day and knock on the door, “Little Edie” met him at the door and upon first seeing him said “Hey, it’s The Marble Faun”, remembering the book by Nathaniel Hawthorne. He offered his services as a gardener and was welcomed into their world.
Torre has traveled the world and enjoyed many rich experiences during the course of his life, including working alongside Walyand Flowers and his puppet “Madame” during their cabaret acts in the 70’s, as well as working for the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia. He went on to drive a Taxi Cab for twenty years in NYC. Torre is now a sculptor and spend his time pursuing a lifelong ambition, carving stone at the prestigious Art Students of League of NY.
