Other than his role in Grey Gardens, I can find no mention of him anywhere. Anyone know what became of him? Thanks.

    In the GG Newbie thread, someone posted an aritcle from this past July about the dvd re-release of the film later this year which includes some added bonuses including:

    "In addition to unused footage, the release will have a `where are
    they now?' quality. Jerry Torre, the handyman who befriended the
    Beales at their dilapidated estate, Grey Gardens, and is now a New
    York City cab driver, recently tracked down Maysles and invited him
    for a sentimental journey. The filmmaker obliged with camera in hand. "

      He's actually a member of the GG yahoo group - you can talk to him there.

        I just had the pleasure of meeting Jerry... I saw "Grey Gardens" at the Walter Kerr Theatre and after the show caught a cab home... Turns out it was Jerry driving the cab! He was truly wonderful. Such a kind, nice, and interesting man! He enjoys hearing what people think of the show. Before I knew who he was, I told him it was magnificent. It was beyond my expectations. I knew that Christine Ebersole would be brilliant - she always is! But I had no idea I would be crying as much as I did. It is VERY emotionally powerful. Back to Jerry... He was kind enough to sign programs for me and my friend and I felt like I just just made a friend when he dropped us off... He was just SUCH a good soul. A truly good soul. And frankly, I think that's about the highest compliment I can give a person.
