Friendship expert Nina Badzin is here to gossip and gab as we break down the tears and triumphs of 1989’s celebration of female friendship, Steel Magnolias starring Julia Roberts, Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah, and Olympia Dukakis.
From needing the damn casserole, slow-moving plotlines and gaping plot holes, to Tinkerbell haircuts, the value of age-appropriate friends, and salons as gathering places, we chat teased hair, Laura Ashley dresses, mom and daughter duos, and supporting friends through grief.
