Steel Magnolias
Remember the Queen of Country Dolly Parton in Steel Magnolias, an uplifting, tear-jerking, and laugh-out-loud portrayal of female friendship!
Six divas of the silver screen—Oscar-nominee and 11-time Grammy-winner Dolly Parton, two-time Oscar-winner Sally Field, Oscar-winner Shirley MacLaine, Grammy-nominee Daryl Hannah, Oscar-winner Olympia Dukakis, and Oscar-winner Julia Roberts—come together as bosom buddies in this hilarious and heartwarming story of life, love, and loss in a small Louisiana parish. At the center of the group is Shelby Eatenton (Julia Roberts), newly married and joyfully pregnant, despite the fact that her diabetes could make childbirth life-threatening. Terrified and angry at the possibility of losing her only daughter, M'Lynn Eatenton (Sally Field) looks to her four closest friends for strength and laughter as she battles her deepest fear of death in order to join Shelby in celebration of new life. After all, what's a better emotion than laughter through tears?
"As the beauty shop owner around whom all the action swirls, Dolly Parton is thoroughly in her element. Wisely she remains in character as a particular good ole gal—with the Dolly her fans love peeking out from underneath."—Variety.
