I watched Fried Green Tomatoes for the first time a few months ago, and I'm 43. Some people think it's better than Steel Magnolias, but I disagree. FGT was a good story, but Steel Magnolias was much more enjoyable.
Not too long ago, I was wondering if Olympia Dukakis was/is still alive. I was probably watching "Steel Magnolias" on Amazon Prime that made me think of her. That movie is how I found out about her. I also liked her in "Look Who's Talking" and "Look Who's Talking 2". May she rest in peace.
@@xtrmfisher and the round of applause she got after saying if was nice to be thin for a change! Asking Sally how she says thin, telling Shirley that she has the "body" and great legs. It was gross!
I watched this show when it was on the air. I don't remember it being so cringy and disrespectful. I guess you don't notice what's all around you. I hope we are better as a society now!
I watched steel magnolias with Mama, and she died a month later at a very young age of 44. The acting in this movie is timeless and classic. This is a very sentimental and profound movie.
All these years, I still cry everytime time Sally Fields losses it at the cemetery and I snap out of it the minute Olympia try to get Sally to slap her.....just brilliant casting...this movie will NEVER not be fun to watch.
The most powerful performance ever , and let's face it no matter who we lose in our lives we all feel like that at some point . Yes I agree tears rolling down your face, sobbing with them ,then pow ! She comes out with thst line , and your crying and creased with laughter at the same time . 😆
Me too and no matter how many times I've seen it, I always cry, esp. during the graveyard scene. Sally Field was fantastic; the emotion, the body movements, just brilliant.
She is sooo fantastic in my book! I grew up with her. She holds 2 of my favorite scenes in my lifetime. THIS and the restaurant scene in Mrs Doubtfire when Daniel becomes unmasked!!! FABULOUS actress!!
I've watched this movie probably ten times (for awhile there it seemed to be constantly playing on cable) and my goal is to just once get through it without crying. The graveyard scene is my fail point. Every. Darn. Time
As a Black man I loved the hell out of this movie. I was a kid when it came out and I remember one day I didn't go to school and it came on HBO. Just a great movie.
Ms. Parton was grand in this movie. She is a underrated actress. She is a natural. The movie is a lovely picture of women friendships, and of women in general. A rarity.
Did you get a chance to see Dolly Parton in the movie '9 to 5'??? If you haven't you should really check that one out too...a truly unforgettable movie with a very Special Message to all👭🤗👨👩👧👧💖
I deed @Jay Cuzman and when you go to Eastern TN, and you see what all she has done to help poor children (real consistent help that really gives a hand UP out of poverty AND all the jobs her Dollywood and things provide, it is amazing.
Donnalee Clubb The thing is, some of the lady “stars” are not exactly Bette Davis either - its their looks & charm is why they shine on screen BUT you would never get them to ever admit it
Listening to Julia say these women immediately put her at ease speaks VOLUMES about them helping to empower the then newbie. Too bad society doesn’t always roll that way.
@Casey Bourbon ...they're also human beings with family issues, health issues, love issues, etc. I wouldn't be my true self either on public media...would you???
I would doubt that Julia Roberts would be that sentimental unless it glories her the most. If it wasn't for so many of those talented ladies it would not have been success.
I was very impressed with the writing and Julia's performance when her blood sugar went low while getting her hair done. I am diabetic and that scene was SO well done! Overall, a fantastic movie!!!
Its a relief to me being older. We talked about it more but it's like it didn't really matter the same way. It just was what it was. It's more how ppl might talk about getting a butt now or extensions or nails or something... Not so connected to who you "really are" or something. Like how's the weather? Your family? How's the weight struggle? Nobody tried to pretend they didn't want to lose weight. It was just everyone's struggle.
@@youtubingbabs yeah. I know it was different even then. I was 12- 13 in 89. But he is so creepy with how he talks to them and even some of his facial expressions. He seems like a sexual predator. I get the feeling that the Steel Magnolias are thinking, this guy is disgusting. But like most women, they had to be polite and act like they aren't bothered by it.
Silvergirl7 both for sadness AND from laughing so hard! Aren't they gracious? They ought to a repeat of a get together and and interview with .... Anderson Cooper? Idk but, it would be great. None of us are spring chickens anymore!
My only non Southern thing is that groom’s cake. Otherwise, as a misplaced Texan living in Tennessee with strong Cajun roots, I’m all in! Dolly is a national treasure and a Tennessee queen!
Definitely reminds me of certain relatives! I was born in Alabama in the 80’s and raised in north Florida right near the Georgia line. The only thing that bugs me in this movie is the phony southern accents from a few cast members, Julia in particular. I know she’s southern irl, but she sounded way off in this movie. Still a great movie.
At 27 min Julia talks about how she just finished a movie called 3,000 with Richard Gere ironically that movie later goes on to be a BOX OFFICE HIT released under a different name called Pretty Women.
Dolly is the most sweetest ever! She was raised right and she is down to earth humble elegant and everything she is polite and the southern charm is real the best of the best
Julia’s Shelby fits perfectly to Susan the late sister.of the man who started it all. And a huge inspiration for the film. A phenomenal movie from a equally phenomenal book.
They made amends in the end. Sally was there for him and they still loved one another very much. He admitted he screwed up and they both admitted they were one another’s great love of their lives before he passed. So precious. 💗 They were one of those movie star couples who fell in love in front of the world and you never wanted to see break up.
Burt Reynolds was jealous of Sally Fields talent and when she nominated for her first Oscar he refused to escort her to the Oscar - that is how shallow Burt Reynolds was. Sally Fields was right on to stop seeing him- too damn insecure.
I love how this is so early on that we’re talking about Julia Roberts as the newcomers to film. Little did she know she’s be just as oscar worthy as this magnificent cast.
Yes Gayle, Olympia & especially Shirley are the Grande Dames. Shirley has won it all and done it all. Super great actors can steal scenes brilliantly and these two were FABULOUS!!
"Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion," is still my all-time favorite line in this movie...and also my favorite emotion, BTW. Love all these women!
The diabetic scene where Shelby goes from normal to out of control in a minute has been an invaluable training tool for young paramedics. Well acted, and because Julia was so pretty it really stuck.Thanks.
I'd seen this movie many times before I discovered I was a diabetic. The first time my sugar bottomed out, it was almost exactly the way Julia portrayed it. Even the eerie music as she started to feel "off" matched - it felt like reality was being sort of bent, warped in a way. And you don't feel hungry, or anything like that, you just start shaking and can't control your body, like you can't calm yourself down. So the snapping at Truvy and M'Lynn and all...spot on.
Yeah it's funny how wonky blood sugar (& even BP) can affect someone's mood and sometimes even make them super irritable/cranky out of seemingly nowhere.
Julia Roberts mentions that she'd just finished a film with Richard Gere called "3000." That film was later renamed to "Pretty Woman." In its original incarnation, it had a very dark ending. The original ending had her character, Vivian Ward, being shoved out of a car and, according to Roberts, "someone threw the money on top of her, as memory serves, and just drove away, leaving her in some dirty alley.” Once Disney got a hold of it, they reworked the script and made it into a Cinderella story, with a happy ending.
Agree, brilliant............... Totally different movie but her acting in it just class, the line '' the whole time, The whole time'' .. I loves it lol ..can you guess?
"It was the most generous thing I ever saw an actress do." WOW! First of all, hearing Shirley MacLaine give such reverence to Sally Field is just absolutely beautiful. But what she is saying is truly awe-inspiring. Conjure in your mind Sally's performance during the graveyard scene and exactly how powerful it is, how profoundly it impacts you no matter how many times you watch it. Now think about the fact that she performed it again, and again, and again, for every single one of her scene partners so that their close up shots reflected the authenticity of the scene even though she wasn't in those specific shots. That is total dedication to one's craft, to the job at hand, and yes as Shirley said, it was very generous of her to continue emotionally extending herself like that to her colleagues. Absolutely top tier work ❤
My absolute favorite movie. There is nothing like it, and there never will be. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry. No one can replace this cast.
Steel Magnolias is a fantastic movie. I was 11 years old when it came out, and I was blown away by it. I saw it in the theater. I'm 42 now, and I've watched it so many times I know it by heart. My great aunt passed away in September. She was like a mother to me and we'd tell eachother all the time, "You know I love you more than my luggage." Best movie ever.
I love the movie too and seen it many times! I was only 7 years old when it came out and I am now 38 years old. I remember going over to my grandmas house to watch it on VHS back then many times I would go over to see her for a visit. Best movie!
This is the first time I've seen Julia Roberts as a newcomer. Relatively, since she'd already done a few movies here, but wild how far she's gone in her career.
No matter how many times I see this movie, which is about 1,000, every single time even though I know it's coming, I bawl at that graveside scene with Sally Fields as I have never seen the movie before. Every. single. time.
The cast was wonderful here. And their collective abilities to bite their tongue when the host was being a jerk was phenomenal in my book! I'm so happy Steel Magnolias ended up becoming an ALL TIME CLASSIC.
she has truly not aged a day in 25 years Yeah I know it is "GOOD WORK" but God Bless her Money WELL SPENT!!! her Cher and Raquel Welsh and Jane Fonda all look AMAZZZZING!!!
I love this movie. It was filmed in Natchitoches, close to where I spent much of my childhood. My dad was born and raised there as was his dad. Several of my ancestors are buried at Ft Jessup. The end scene shows the street where my parents brought home my older brother. The two kids fidgeting in church are twins, Todd and Tracy. We went to the same church and we're distant relatives. The paperboy at the beginning is a boy one of my younger sisters went to school with. We went a few times to the Festival of Lights. It's really something. There's this big hill going down to the river, and you just bring your blankets and spread out. Watching this movie is really like going home.
Not to be a buzz kill but I don't... because this was back when the AIDS epidemic was ravaging through my community and I went to 11 funerals in 7 months and 18 funerals in 2.5 years it was frightening truly a terrifying time in history ... nobody was HIV POSITIVE ... They had AIDS (and looked like concentration camp prisoners or they were DEAD... but how would you know? It must've been a happier time for you....
I was 16. Life was grand and yet smaller. I grew up in AR. My husband is from Louisiana and my daddy grew up in Mississippi. The South is in my blood and soul. I probably have 5 DVD copies of this movie.
Life then was as easy as it was wonderful. This movie shows what it was to lead a life where if you worked for it, no matter what it was you were trying to attain, it could be yours. For this group of ladies, I have but one thing to say. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do. I love you guys . Thank you for making this picture.
Dolly is just like a ray of sunshine and so so down to earth and genuine and Julia, even in the start of her career and being so young was already so so well spoken and an old soul. This was a delight! Another thing that strikes me is just how inappropriate at times these talk shows were. Very cringe worthy at times
@@marciaa.parker9122 these are really great actresses. Sally Fields one of my all time favorites, watch her when she hosts SNL and dhe was praying to Jesus about everything and Jesus appeared at her home, Phil Hartman played Jesus. So funny.
It told a STORY. It had a character driven plot and the performances were Gold ! Now I want to go back and see it again. Lovely ladies and a wonderful, warm film. Thanks
This was by far THE BEST MOVIE WITH THE BEST CAST!!!! They seem like real family they are all beautiful and have held their age so well I mean this is real acting.. you don’t find this anymore
God is so good!!!! God Loves You Perfectly But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. Romans 5:8-9 God is a God of forgiveness. He knows you perfectly and still loves you perfectly. We are slaves to the idea that if someone sees our flaws, they won’t love us anymore. Well, while that may be true in human relationships, God is not like that. God sees all our imperfections, failings, and flaws on Jesus, at the cross. Our sins and ugliness do not turn Him off. In fact, to Him they are occasions to demonstrate His grace and forgiveness through the blood of His Son, who has removed all our sins at Calvary. Jesus came, died, was buried and rose again on the third day, to prove that your sins are forgiven! According to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)! And He is coming back to take you home with Him (all you have to do is to believe that Jesus is who He says He is and that He did what He said He did and you will be Saved)! So, don’t be embarrassed about your flaws, mistakes, and imperfections. God knows your weaknesses better than you do, and He loves you just the same. His Word reminds us that Jesus is not someone “who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses.” Instead, Jesus was tempted in all points, yet He was without sin (Heb. @). He understands every temptation and every trial that you are going through. He is not disappointed with you, and He is not waiting for you to live up to a set of dos and don’ts before He forgives and loves you. The Bible says, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him” (Rom. 5:8-9). Did you get that? When did God love you? That’s right, when you were still a sinner. Before you even knew Him, when you were still in sin, He already loved you. How much more today, when you have been cleansed by Jesus’ blood and made righteous! Having received Jesus’ righteousness, you are righteous forever. Even when you fall into sin, your sins don’t make you a sinner again. And yes, we still sin, but now we have an advocate in Jesus! When you fall short today, you are still the righteousness of God. This is because your righteousness comes from Jesus. In the same way that a beautiful butterfly cannot morph back into a caterpillar, once you have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus, you cannot morph back into a sinner. You are loved so much!!! You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!! You are the son or daughter of the Most High God!!! Maranatha!!
Me and my sister always quote “ Claries are you high “ when things or something is out of control it helped one time when one of our family members were fighting with each other my sister came into the room and yelled Claries are you high every one just bust out laughing 😂 works every time
Have you seen the movie Some Came Running with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra? She said that was her favorite role. She is fantastic as Ginny Morehead and was nominated for an Academy Award. Such a tragic character though.
Yeah well, look at her now. 30 years of being one of the highest paid in show business and was the highest paid female for years. Not to mention she’s just great at what she does!...Where’s Phil now? Hmm..Phil who? I guess Julia got the last laugh. Keep rolling those eyes Ms Robert’s!
You can totally tell he rubs her the wrong way ( his misogynistic compliments) and she's trying to bite her tongue. I thought I was the only one who caught it.
I remember watching this movie in college. We cried so hard we didn’t want to go out past everyone waiting in line in the theater so we left through the fire escape. 🤣 All these years later, it’s still one of my favorites.
This movie always makes me cry. My mom went into a coma from her type 1 diabetes on 10/30/84. She was on life support until 11/6/84. It's a devastating disease and deserves more attention 😢
That must’ve been horrible. I’m so sorry to read that. And you are so right, diabetes does deserve more attention than it gets or has gotten. Unfortunately it’s COVID that has taken over. I hope that time has healed your sorrow and that you remember the happy and special moments you spent with your mom 🥲
This is still one of my favorite movies . Look at Dolly Parton... I mean here she was this huge country music star and still is and had a wonderful talent as an actress as well !! She is still out there doing so many things. DollyWood keeps getting bigger and better every year too. She's a wonderful person . They all were so awesome in this movie . I love them all . I'll always love their work , especially in this movie together. I'm so glad someone shared this interview, because I've never seen this before. Thank you !!
@@abby91674 Dolly does have a BEAUTIFUL SOUL but lets be realistic Dolly has truly not aged a day in 35 years Dolly looks young because (and she is very open about it)it is "GOOD WORK" but God Bless her , THAT is Money WELL SPENT!!! her Cher and Raquel Welsh and Jane Fonda all look AMAZZZZING!!! Granny don't look like that... I don't care how good the genes are....
I felt that this and Rhinestone were her best movies Rhinestone is one of those "its horrible to some but great for others" type of movies you wanna watch on a slow boring Saturday afternoon
This movie and Scream are my favorites of all-time. Dolly is the sweetest of the whole cast. She is so nice and polite. Very well-mannered. She was raised right.
Wow! Talk about a throw back. Fabulous, phenomenal and talented women. 1989. I was 15 years old. Little did Shirley know she would get her wish. Terms of Endearment meet The Evening Star. 💜❤🥰
I Love when The Host says "You're Pregnant" pointing at Julia. And she looks up at her mother and says "Its The Movie Mom!" That was Like The Best Part on This Whole Video!!!
That's our Dolly. She surely can act. She's a pro being with the Greats., she cant be intimidated. Great movie great cast.I think Dolly should do more movies ! Love them all💋
Steel magnolias is 1 or my 2 FAVORITE movies (dirty dancing is my other) I live them both equally and I can repeat both word for word as ive lost count how.many times ive seen them!!
May of 2021 and I'm still watching this 100% incredible movie. They were the best cast ever put together for any movie EVER.. I was so saddened by Olympia Dukakis's death.. 😥
I wish I could tell each of these ladies they are the reason that I went to Northwestern State University. They each helped to shape my future. Thank you ladies
Just watched this for the first today, aged 41 in 2024. What a beautiful film.

Wow that puts things in perspective.
I would doubt that Julia Roberts would be that sentimental unless it glories her the most. If it wasn't for so many of those talented ladies it would not have been success.
This Dolly is the prettiest, most radiant Dolly I've seen. Just glows with inner happiness, and it shows in her outer beauty.
I was very impressed with the writing and Julia's performance when her blood sugar went low while getting her hair done. I am diabetic and that scene was SO well done! Overall, a fantastic movie!!!

Olympia Dukakis, amazing actress
They all are. Great film and cast!
She should have been listed in the title.
R.I.P. Olympia Dukakis
Being a southern woman, this movie really depicts southern life - of that era anyway. They did a great job- but have the box of tissues ready!
Silvergirl7 both for sadness AND from laughing so hard! Aren't they gracious? They ought to a repeat of a get together and and interview with .... Anderson Cooper? Idk but, it would be great. None of us are spring chickens anymore!

You know Trump wanted to give her the "Presidential Medal of Freedom " She declined graciously
Julia’s Shelby fits perfectly to Susan the late sister.of the man who started it all. And a huge inspiration for the film. A phenomenal movie from a equally phenomenal book.
I always thought if everyone had a little bit of Dolly & Mr. Roger's in them , what a world it would be .
A Burt Reynolds lookalike telling Sally, Burt screwed up @16:31. Priceless.
I thought so too ... But Sally had a "I'm good with it" look on her face was even more priceless...lol
They made amends in the end. Sally was there for him and they still loved one another very much. He admitted he screwed up and they both admitted they were one another’s great love of their lives before he passed. So precious. 💗 They were one of those movie star couples who fell in love in front of the world and you never wanted to see break up.
burt rey looked alike..yes that was ironic..he had a crush here on sally
Does ANYONE remember Diana Shore? Burt found SALLY FIELD and knew she was AWESOME after lessons from SHORE!
Burt Reynolds was jealous of Sally Fields talent and when she nominated for her first Oscar he refused to escort her to the Oscar - that is how shallow Burt Reynolds was. Sally Fields was right on to stop seeing him- too damn insecure.
Love this group of women. It’s a shame the movie scenes were cut from this.
I love how this is so early on that we’re talking about Julia Roberts as the newcomers to film. Little did she know she’s be just as oscar worthy as this magnificent cast.
This was right before pretty woman!

Katharine Hepburn saw Julia in a supporting role in Mystic Pizza and picked her out as someone with star power
I enjoyed watching Olympia respond to things. Very classy and not intimidated by anyone in the slightest.
Yes Gayle, Olympia & especially Shirley are the Grande Dames. Shirley has won it all and done it all. Super great actors can steal scenes brilliantly and these two were FABULOUS!!
I looked at her when this video first started; she’s obviously annoyed at Phil’s
rudeness.
"Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion," is still my all-time favorite line in this movie...and also my favorite emotion, BTW. Love all these women!
Yes!!!
I say that weekly lol
The diabetic scene where Shelby goes from normal to out of control in a minute has been an invaluable training tool for young paramedics. Well acted, and because Julia was so pretty it really stuck.Thanks.
I'd seen this movie many times before I discovered I was a diabetic. The first time my sugar bottomed out, it was almost exactly the way Julia portrayed it. Even the eerie music as she started to feel "off" matched - it felt like reality was being sort of bent, warped in a way. And you don't feel hungry, or anything like that, you just start shaking and can't control your body, like you can't calm yourself down. So the snapping at Truvy and M'Lynn and all...spot on.
Yeah it's funny how wonky blood sugar (& even BP) can affect someone's mood and sometimes even make them super irritable/cranky out of seemingly nowhere.
Julia Roberts mentions that she'd just finished a film with Richard Gere called "3000." That film was later renamed to "Pretty Woman." In its original incarnation, it had a very dark ending. The original ending had her character, Vivian Ward, being shoved out of a car and, according to Roberts, "someone threw the money on top of her, as memory serves, and just drove away, leaving her in some dirty alley.”
Once Disney got a hold of it, they reworked the script and made it into a Cinderella story, with a happy ending.
I've heard that before. Soooo glad it was redone.
@@crystalsteverson2264 in the scene where he finds her flossing, she was doing drugs in the original script.
Sheldon Helms. Wonder what the title *3000* meant. Did it mean she slept with 3 thousand men throughout her profession as a hooker????
@@jordanabeaulieu2530 I bet it's the price he paid
@@jordanabeaulieu2530 it's the price he paid her
Sally Fields is beyond an amazing actress, her scene at the grave site had me crying super hard. God just an amazing actress.
Agree, brilliant............... Totally different movie but her acting in it just class, the line '' the whole time, The whole time'' .. I loves it lol ..can you guess?
and I still cry with this scene - then laugh when Olivia Dukakis puts Shirley Maclaine forward to be swiped!
!!
@@Naomirose86when she realized that Mrs. Doubtfire was Daniel all along.
I swear Sally can cry like nobody else. I don't know what she thinks about to bring those tears on but omg she makes you cry with her!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
"It was the most generous thing I ever saw an actress do." WOW! First of all, hearing Shirley MacLaine give such reverence to Sally Field is just absolutely beautiful. But what she is saying is truly awe-inspiring. Conjure in your mind Sally's performance during the graveyard scene and exactly how powerful it is, how profoundly it impacts you no matter how many times you watch it. Now think about the fact that she performed it again, and again, and again, for every single one of her scene partners so that their close up shots reflected the authenticity of the scene even though she wasn't in those specific shots. That is total dedication to one's craft, to the job at hand, and yes as Shirley said, it was very generous of her to continue emotionally extending herself like that to her colleagues. Absolutely top tier work ❤
The movie was just about perfection…even the score, the music was just magnificent.
My absolute favorite movie. There is nothing like it, and there never will be. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry. No one can replace this cast.
What’s the name of the movie please ?
Never mind.
@@jacquelineotto4148 STEEL MAGNOLIAS 😂🤣😅😂😅
Steel Magnolias is a fantastic movie. I was 11 years old when it came out, and I was blown away by it. I saw it in the theater. I'm 42 now, and I've watched it so many times I know it by heart. My great aunt passed away in September. She was like a mother to me and we'd tell eachother all the time, "You know I love you more than my luggage." Best movie ever.
You my soulmate, Amanda.
I love the movie too.
I'm 44. Know what you mean.
I love the movie too and seen it many times! I was only 7 years old when it came out and I am now 38 years old. I remember going over to my grandmas house to watch it on VHS back then many times I would go over to see her for a visit. Best movie!
Likewise Amanda, I’m 43 and love the movie still so much.
This is the first time I've seen Julia Roberts as a newcomer. Relatively, since she'd already done a few movies here, but wild how far she's gone in her career.
It’s great to see how these women lift each other up❤️
No matter how many times I see this movie, which is about 1,000, every single time even though I know it's coming, I bawl at that graveside scene with Sally Fields as I have never seen the movie before. Every. single. time.
Look how great they all are... Wonderful cast. Julia is SO YOUNG!
The cast was wonderful here. And their collective abilities to bite their tongue when the host was being a jerk was phenomenal in my book! I'm so happy Steel Magnolias ended up becoming an ALL TIME CLASSIC.
They like Phil!
That’s what women are supposed to do. I’m astonished at how condescending and male chauvinistic the questions were.
This movie is mumma's favorite. She passed in July and I want to watch it again, but I'm not ready. These videos are so nice. 💜😭
Dolly is sooooo beautiful! She so pretty and feminine .
she has truly not aged a day in 25 years Yeah I know it is "GOOD WORK" but God Bless her Money WELL SPENT!!! her Cher and Raquel Welsh and Jane Fonda all look AMAZZZZING!!!
Dolly is real. That is her best quality.
Besides Terms Of Endearment this is the only other film that made me ugly cry and I can’t stop thinking about after I watch it everytime!
LOVE this movie and cast....never gets old for me, Olympia will be dearly missed ❤️
I love this movie. It was filmed in Natchitoches, close to where I spent much of my childhood. My dad was born and raised there as was his dad. Several of my ancestors are buried at Ft Jessup. The end scene shows the street where my parents brought home my older brother. The two kids fidgeting in church are twins, Todd and Tracy. We went to the same church and we're distant relatives. The paperboy at the beginning is a boy one of my younger sisters went to school with. We went a few times to the Festival of Lights. It's really something. There's this big hill going down to the river, and you just bring your blankets and spread out. Watching this movie is really like going home.
Life was SO much simpler back then. Wish we still lived in the age of Steel Magnolias.
Not to be a buzz kill but I don't... because this was back when the AIDS epidemic was ravaging through my community and I went to 11 funerals in 7 months and 18 funerals in 2.5 years it was frightening truly a terrifying time in history ... nobody was HIV POSITIVE ... They had AIDS (and looked like concentration camp prisoners or they were DEAD... but how would you know? It must've been a happier time for you....
It’s a lovely film, truly very moving, but that “age” was far from ideal for many people.
I was 16. Life was grand and yet smaller. I grew up in AR. My husband is from Louisiana and my daddy grew up in Mississippi. The South is in my blood and soul. I probably have 5 DVD copies of this movie.
Life then was as easy as it was wonderful. This movie shows what it was to lead a life where if you worked for it, no matter what it was you were trying to attain, it could be yours. For this group of ladies, I have but one thing to say. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do. I love you guys . Thank you for making this picture.
Me too!
The best! Remake NOT needed!
There was one already
Shirly McLaine is amazing! Looooove her. How classy. A real star!
Dolly is just like a ray of sunshine and so so down to earth and genuine and Julia, even in the start of her career and being so young was already so so well spoken and an old soul. This was a delight! Another thing that strikes me is just how inappropriate at times these talk shows were. Very cringe worthy at times
I had to pause it so many times due to the cringe. The men (Donahue and guests) are awful. Creepy questions and so much entitlement.
@@marciaa.parker9122 these are really great actresses. Sally Fields one of my all time favorites, watch her when she hosts SNL and dhe was praying to Jesus about everything and Jesus appeared at her home, Phil Hartman played Jesus. So funny.
@@marciaa.parker9122 "hoofin it," Dolly's an old farm girl. It means busting your butt to get it done. She is so genuine. A national treasure.
Like when they come out on stage and are being asked about their weight immediately. 🤦🏻♀️
Yep. Saying exactly what everybody is thinking. Obviously, Shirley McLaine can handle herself. That is for sure @@embeth446
Every time a gay man gets to meet Dolly, an angel gets its wings.
😂😂
Sweet!
This bade me really lol
Lol
That is precious. I am friends with A Lot of Gay men in My Dolly Fan Group. They will Love this !!!
My Mom’s Favorite film!
May she R. I.P....💕
I'm sorry for your loss.
R.I.P. Olympia Dukakis (1931-2021).
Dolly Parton is so gracious and a true lady. She just has a sweet and kind face.
She's a sweetheart.
She has a face?
steel magnolias is a emotional rollercoaster ride and my all time favorite
Couldn't have picked a better cast Each if these ladies are amazing.
Shirley McClain in the Apartment! Classic with Jack Lemmon.
Agree!!
I loved every film she made with Jack Lemmon
To this day i still say, "Pink is my signature color"! lol
I still think “laughter thru tears is my favorite emotion”
Me too
Live it!
“my colors are blush and bashful”
“her colors are pink and pink”
I really LOVED when Fields says the Church looks like it was bathed in pepto bismol. LOL.
Sybil!! Yes, Sally! A very special performance, indeed!
I've lost track of how many times I've seen this movie. LOVE IT!!!!
I remember this magical time well, as an adolescent. Really can't believe it's 30 years ago now.
It told a STORY. It had a character driven plot and the performances were Gold ! Now I want to go back and see it again. Lovely ladies and a wonderful, warm film. Thanks
24:37 Dolly is pure class!
Here it is 2020 and i'm finally gonna watch Steel Magnolias
Hope You like it. It's a great film.
Enjoy!!
You're so lucky...I wish I could watch it again for the first time!
what u think?
Wow I’m jealous a bit wish I would be able to watch this for the first time, enjoy! Bring tissues 😎🥲
The one who sticks out to me is Dolly. She is just a sweet, precious person.❤
This was by far THE BEST MOVIE WITH THE BEST CAST!!!! They seem like real family they are all beautiful and have held their age so well I mean this is real acting.. you don’t find this anymore
Now that’s something we’ll never see again. Actresses and their amazing talent shared at once !
I love Sally Fields in everything she's done.
Well you haven't seen a lot.
She wasn't in this one either.
Sally FIELD was.
Who are these stupid people?
Her name is Field, always has been, never been anything but.
@@naansophi1111 please stop
You sound ridiculous
My all time favorite performances of hers , next to this one , is her role in Sybil !
@@blairsmith125 Sally is sooo adorable.
It's weird that my mom named me after the woman that dies but I love it because this movie holds such a special place in my heart 🥰
One of the most quotable movies of all time. “I haven’t left the house without Lycra on these thighs since I was 14” 😅
I agree. There are so many memorable lines in this movie. Like, "I never worry momma because I know you worry enough for the both of us".
You were raised right 😉
God is so good!!!! God Loves You Perfectly
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Romans 5:8-9
God is a God of forgiveness. He knows you perfectly and still loves you perfectly. We are slaves to the idea that if someone sees our flaws, they won’t love us anymore. Well, while that may be true in human relationships, God is not like that.
God sees all our imperfections, failings, and flaws on Jesus, at the cross. Our sins and ugliness do not turn Him off. In fact, to Him they are occasions to demonstrate His grace and forgiveness through the blood of His Son, who has removed all our sins at Calvary. Jesus came, died, was buried and rose again on the third day, to prove that your sins are forgiven! According to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)! And He is coming back to take you home with Him (all you have to do is to believe that Jesus is who He says He is and that He did what He said He did and you will be Saved)!
So, don’t be embarrassed about your flaws, mistakes, and imperfections. God knows your weaknesses better than you do, and He loves you just the same. His Word reminds us that Jesus is not someone “who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses.” Instead, Jesus was tempted in all points, yet He was without sin (Heb. @). He understands every temptation and every trial that you are going through. He is not disappointed with you, and He is not waiting for you to live up to a set of dos and don’ts before He forgives and loves you. The Bible says, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him” (Rom. 5:8-9).
Did you get that? When did God love you?
That’s right, when you were still a sinner. Before you even knew Him, when you were still in sin, He already loved you. How much more today, when you have been cleansed by Jesus’ blood and made righteous! Having received Jesus’ righteousness, you are righteous forever. Even when you fall into sin, your sins don’t make you a sinner again. And yes, we still sin, but now we have an advocate in Jesus!
When you fall short today, you are still the righteousness of God. This is because your righteousness comes from Jesus. In the same way that a beautiful butterfly cannot morph back into a caterpillar, once you have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus, you cannot morph back into a sinner. You are loved so much!!! You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!! You are the son or daughter of the Most High God!!! Maranatha!!
"You have the handwriting of a serial killuh."😅
Dam, Sally Field is an expert on specifics of the movie like she's a producer,very impressive! 👍
Me and my sister always quote “ Claries are you high “ when things or something is out of control it helped one time when one of our family members were fighting with each other my sister came into the room and yelled Claries are you high every one just bust out laughing 😂 works every time
Shirley MacLaine is soooo under rated as an actress. She was perfect in "Sweet Charity" and "The Children's Hour".
Have you seen the movie Some Came Running with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra? She said that was her favorite role. She is fantastic as Ginny Morehead and was nominated for an Academy Award. Such a tragic character though.
And Sister somebody and a Mule, and many other roles in the 60s
Phil needs to shut up and let everybody else talk. Love love this movie
It's his show
@@sheliahigdon531 your point is
@@michelletaylor4112 lol
I agree. and bringing up Dolly's figure. Saying she looks good. She does look good but so does the others.
I forgot how hammy and unwatchable he was.
Julia says she wasn't intimidated, Phil says "yes your we're" Julia's subtle eye roll @3:22 like I guess a "man" knows better 🙄
Yeah well, look at her now. 30 years of being one of the highest paid in show business and was the highest paid female for years. Not to mention she’s just great at what she does!...Where’s Phil now? Hmm..Phil who? I guess Julia got the last laugh. Keep rolling those eyes Ms Robert’s!
Old white men do this to women all the time. It's so demeaning and disrespectful.
You can totally tell he rubs her the wrong way ( his misogynistic compliments) and she's trying to bite her tongue. I thought I was the only one who caught it.
I remember watching this movie in college. We cried so hard we didn’t want to go out past everyone waiting in line in the theater so we left through the fire escape. 🤣 All these years later, it’s still one of my favorites.
This movie always makes me cry. My mom went into a coma from her type 1 diabetes on 10/30/84. She was on life support until 11/6/84. It's a devastating disease and deserves more attention 😢
That must’ve been horrible. I’m so sorry to read that. And you are so right, diabetes does deserve more attention than it gets or has gotten. Unfortunately it’s COVID that has taken over. I hope that time has healed your sorrow and that you remember the happy and special moments you spent with your mom 🥲
💜
Seen it 50 times and I still cry when the Sally Field funeral scene comes on. Love this movie
"This is the way this old looks now"...absolutely love that statement!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This is still one of my favorite movies . Look at Dolly Parton... I mean here she was this huge country music star and still is and had a wonderful talent as an actress as well !! She is still out there doing so many things. DollyWood keeps getting bigger and better every year too. She's a wonderful person . They all were so awesome in this movie . I love them all . I'll always love their work , especially in this movie together. I'm so glad someone shared this interview, because I've never seen this before. Thank you !!
She just turned 75 and looks better than most women at 35. Imo
Its cause her soul is so beautiful
@@abby91674 Dolly does have a BEAUTIFUL SOUL but lets be realistic Dolly has truly not aged a day in 35 years Dolly looks young because (and she is very open about it)it is "GOOD WORK" but God Bless her , THAT is Money WELL SPENT!!! her Cher and Raquel Welsh and Jane Fonda all look AMAZZZZING!!! Granny don't look like that... I don't care how good the genes are....
I felt that this and Rhinestone were her best movies
Rhinestone is one of those "its horrible to some but great for others" type of movies you wanna watch on a slow boring Saturday afternoon
Hell yeah these Ladies are the best.
This movie and Scream are my favorites of all-time. Dolly is the sweetest of the whole cast. She is so nice and polite. Very well-mannered. She was raised right.
Scream? Really?
I like scream too. I remember seeing it in the movie theater.
@@craigsmith157 Yes. Really. And apparently I'm not alone because it rejuvenated the horror genre.
Thats an odd combo
@@christoffersundberg8689 My thoughts exactly.
Wow! Talk about a throw back. Fabulous, phenomenal and talented women. 1989. I was 15 years old. Little did Shirley know she would get her wish. Terms of Endearment meet The Evening Star. 💜❤🥰
Look how youthful they are, its sad we all age. Love this movie
I still cry, every time I watch this movie! What a cast of beautiful, talented, iconic women!
That was the funnest movie ever. I could watch this over & over. Just love all of them. Sorry you weren't there Darrell Hannah
I Love when The Host says "You're Pregnant" pointing at Julia. And she looks up at her mother and says "Its The Movie Mom!" That was Like The Best Part on This Whole Video!!!
I still watch this film if it’s on. Always waiting to see Sally go crazy in the cemetery. She was just amazing.
Hey how's the weather there treating you today
Hey Susan how are you doing 6
I love Shirley MacLaine!❤️ She was absolutely brilliant in “The Children’s Hour” along with Audrey Hepburn.
Good film, Children's Hour, but her playing the prostitute in sweet charity I believe, when I was 14, made me cry ! 💔
@@SweetChicagoGator I haven’t seen that one yet but I’ll make sure to watch it soon. Thanks for letting me know about it. :)
That's our Dolly. She surely can act. She's a pro being with the Greats., she cant be intimidated. Great movie great cast.I think Dolly should do more movies ! Love them all💋
Sally was wonderful in this film. Olympia and Shirley played perfectly off one another.
I saw it in the theater.
Steel magnolias is 1 or my 2 FAVORITE movies (dirty dancing is my other) I live them both equally and I can repeat both word for word as ive lost count how.many times ive seen them!!
May of 2021 and I'm still watching this 100% incredible movie. They were the best cast ever put together for any movie EVER.. I was so saddened by Olympia Dukakis's death.. 😥
Just rewatched this timeless masterpiece on Netflix. Daryl Hannah stood out most to me.
There comes a point when you gotta do more than pump chicken...LOL..... That was great.
That really was the best thing said on that stage ... which is saying a lot!
I wish I could tell each of these ladies they are the reason that I went to Northwestern State University. They each helped to shape my future. Thank you ladies
That's awesome
