Housing Crisis - Lauren Greenfield’s “The Queen of Versailles” : The New Yorker
▻http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/07/09/housing-crisis
Sometimes, seven billion people’s global financial catastrophe is one documentary filmmaker’s piece of good fortune. Such is the case of the photographer Lauren Greenfield, whose new movie, “The Queen of Versailles,” is about to be released. The film begins by focussing on the half-finished construction in Orlando of Versailles, the largest family home in America, the design of which was inspired by the French palace of the same name, and also by the top three floors of the Paris hotel in Las Vegas. Versailles—which is projected to cover ninety thousand square feet, with thirty bathrooms, a bowling alley, and a sushi bar—is the dream home of David Siegel, a strangely endearing, if fundamentally deplorable, Florida time-share mogul, and his wife, Jackie, a winningly confidential former Mrs. Florida and mother of eight, who is thirty-one years her husband’s junior.
