“I’m an old Southern woman and we’re supposed to wear funny looking hats and ugly clothes and grow vegetables in the dirt… I don’t know why, I don’t make the rules!” Ouiser, Steel Magnolias
Tom and I saw Steel Magnolias in the theater with Lynne and Craig when it was released. I’m not sure she’s forgiven me yet. As I said then, “It’s Southern. There are a bunch of female friends. One has a beautiful young daughter who’s ill. What did you think was going to happen?”
I don’t make the rules!
