In the Season 5 episode "Mrs. Donaghy" on NBC's 30 Rock, Tina Fey's character Liz Lemon does an impersonation of Little Edie.

The episode was written by Seth Meyers and stars Bill Hader and Fred Armisen as "Little Vivvy" and "Big Vivvy" respectively. In part 3 of Bravo's Season 6 "The Real Housewives" of New York reunion episode, host Andy Cohen suggests to cast member Sonja Morgan "...you have a little Grey Gardens in you". To which she replies "If you want to say Grey Gardens, I love that, because you know what? Edie Beale and her mom, they were charming, talented, sensitive...". Her castmate Luann de Lesseps replies to this with "They were mentally ill." In 2017, episode 22 of season 8 of the television show "Modern Family", features a bicyclist calling Claire Dunphy "Grey Gardens" as she exits a vintage Rolls Royce.
