Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling is a 1987 off-Broadway play, made into a movie in 1989. Based on the author's experience with the death of his sister, Steel Magnolias is a comedy-drama about the bond among a group of Southern women in northwest Louisiana.
"Anybody who is anybody goes to Truvy's beauty salon to get her hair done. Don't expect any miracles, though. Truvy herself says, 'I am a beautician not a magician, with a plaque on the wall. What you can expect is good chatter, a caring ear, and good hair.' The same can be said for Steel Magnolias, Robert Harling's play about six southern "belles" with backbones as tough as nails and the will of steel…" --Amy Somensky
"Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marchin' across your face." --Truvy
