Plot Summary:Revolving around Truvys Beauty Parlor in a small parish in modern-day Louisiana, STEEL MAGNOLIAS is the story of a close-knit circle of friends whose lives come together there. As the picture opens, we find Drum Eatenton shooting birds in the trees of his back yard in preparation for his daughters wedding reception that afternoon. Shortly thereafter, MLynn and Shelby (Drums wife and daughter) depart for Truvys to get their hair done for the wedding. Just the sweetest thing, Annelle Depuy Desoto (who may or may not be married because her marriage may not be legal) is introduced to Truvys customers as her new glamour technician. While in the chairs, the sour-tempered Ouiser Boudreaux shows up and entertains the assemblage with her barbs. It seems that the only one of the group who truly understands Ouiser is Clairee who is recently widowed and looking for a diversion. As she says, later in the picture, If you cant find anything good to say about anybody, come sit by me. Filled with humor and heartbreak, these Steel Magnolias make us laugh and cry as the realities of their lives in tiny Chiquapin Parish unfolds.
