Random Memorial for Monday 8/26/13

Gone but not forgotten:  Sally Field.

Well, that is Sally Field, she who was a friend to Dolly Parton.  And that is Dolly Parton, she who hired Daryl Hannah.  And that is Daryl Hannah, she who did Shirley Maclaine's hair.  And that is Shirley Maclaine, she whom Olympia Dukakis thinks Sally Field should hit, since "half of Chinquapin Parish would give their eye teeth to take a whack at [her]".

If you haven't caught on yet (do I have to say that Julia Roberts was her daughter?), it's not Sally Field herself who has left this world.  But Margaret Harling, the inspiration for the M'Lynn character in Steel Magnolias did pass away last Thursday in Louisiana.

And since it was all based on true life, I have to suspect that she is now finally united with her Susan (or "Shelby", in the play/movie), and I have a feeling that the momma's opportunities to remind her daughter to be sure that she "drinks her juice" will no longer be missed.

DIDN'T MEAN TO ADD FUEL TO THIS FIRE:

THIS BARELY SCRATCHES THE SURFACE (MOST QUOTABLE MOVIE EVER MAYBE)?
