I always thought that Olympia Dukakis was wonderful in her role. It’s unfortunate that she hasn’t made a ton of movies.
Sally Field played my favorite character. Her emotions were so true to her part.
My favorite was Sally Field. Very tough part to play, but she made the character real.
Shelby. …I named my daughter after her. My daughter is 13 and every chance we get to see the movie or play we are there 🙂
Daryl Hannah played her role with so much enthusiasm and true to character affection
Oh!!! it has to be Dolly she is so talent and funny just a joy to watch ~love her~
Shirley Maclaine as Ouiser Boudreaux: I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a very bad mood 40 years! and “Your husband is a boil on the butt of humanity!”
Shirley Maclaine – mother – I still remember her screaming in the hospital to get attention to staff to relieve the pain her daughter was experiencing as she lays in her bed dying on cancer. Mother’s torment –
