These women answered some rude questions with such grace and class!

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.

Olympia Dukakis died yesterday. She was the epitome of hard working, cool and Uber talent. She will be missed... RIP.

“Steel Magnolias” is one of those movies where, if I happen to be switching channels and it’s on, beginning middle or end, I watch!

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.

Julia is now almost the age Shirley MacLaine was when they made the movie

Just watched this for the first today, aged 41 in 2024. What a beautiful film.

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.

Dolly is so gracious in thanking the audience members who compliment her. She's very sweet and genuine.

These ladies all so humble and friendly . Seems very different from the celebs of today.

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.

Never heard of this movie, will see if I can find it! Who’s watching this in 2024? ✋🏽

Almost every line in this movie is a classic. What a magnificent film.

One of the best ensemble casts ever. That movie is an emotional rollercoaster even after seeing it over-and-over.

Sally Field did the best crying scene ever done!!! Never have I watched the movie without crying just like the first time!!!

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.

Someone needs to have a reunion with all of these ladies while they're still here because it would be amazing to watch❤️❤️❤️

This movie was filmed in my hometown. My aunt was in this movie. My cousin was involved in the movie. This movie has a special place in my heart

"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 ❤

IMO all of the actors should’ve been nominated for an academy award for their roles in “Steel Magnolias”.

One of the best movies ever, hands down.

Sally looks so beautiful!!!!

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

Named my daughter Shelby in 1991 because of this movie absolutely love it!!

Every time a gay man gets to meet Dolly, an angel gets its wings.

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!!!

Sadly, Olympia Dukakis has left us now. May she Rest In Peace 🙏💜🙏

Couldn't have picked a better cast Each if these ladies are amazing.

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 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 🙄

steel magnolias is a emotional rollercoaster ride and my all time favorite

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!

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.

"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!

This Dolly is the prettiest, most radiant Dolly I've seen. Just glows with inner happiness, and it shows in her outer beauty.

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.

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.

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.

It’s great to see how these women lift each other up❤️

I enjoyed watching Olympia respond to things. Very classy and not intimidated by anyone in the slightest.

The movie was just about perfection…even the score, the music was just magnificent.

LOVE this movie and cast....never gets old for me, Olympia will be dearly missed ❤️

Look how great they all are... Wonderful cast. Julia is SO YOUNG!

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.

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.

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. I can't believe how much he was talking about their weight and bodies! A lot has changed since '89.

Olympia Dukakis, amazing actress

I love Shirley McLaine & Dolly .... this cast was incredible

Sybil!! Yes, Sally! A very special performance, indeed!

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.

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.

Life was SO much simpler back then. Wish we still lived in the age of Steel Magnolias.

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.

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.

Here it is 2020 and i'm finally gonna watch Steel Magnolias

Sally Fields is beyond an amazing actress, her scene at the grave site had me crying super hard. God just an amazing actress.

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

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.

I still cry, every time I watch this movie! What a cast of beautiful, talented, iconic women!

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!

Now that’s something we’ll never see again. Actresses and their amazing talent shared at once !

A Burt Reynolds lookalike telling Sally, Burt screwed up @16:31. Priceless.

Dolly is sooooo beautiful! She so pretty and feminine .

My absolute all time favourite movie. The funeral scene pulls my heartstrings every time....

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 🥰

The best! Remake NOT needed!

That was the funnest movie ever. I could watch this over & over. Just love all of them. Sorry you weren't there Darrell Hannah

"This is the way this old looks now"...absolutely love that statement!

To this day i still say, "Pink is my signature color"! lol

My colors are blush and bashful. Your colors are pink and pink

what a classy broad Olympia was for saying immediately that it was the writing that got the laugh and not taking the credit for her brilliant acting

24:37 Dolly is pure class!

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!

To this day , I still cry😥😵 my eyes out❣️I love this movie💕💖💗😘😍❣️

The one movie I can quote all the way through! What a cast.

Dam, Sally Field is an expert on specifics of the movie like she's a producer,very impressive! 👍

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. 💜❤🥰

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.

Love this group of women. It’s a shame the movie scenes were cut from this.

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.. 😥

Look how youthful they are, its sad we all age. Love this movie

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 !!

My Mom’s Favorite film! May she R. I.P....💕

Phil needs to shut up and let everybody else talk. Love love this movie

A movie worth seeing...it has everything and their lines were often so funny, even when things were serious. You felt like you were there with them. Then the bomb and tears galore. Loved it...their characters were perfectly matched.

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

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

“Steel Magnolias” one of my favorite movies of all time. I’ve watched it probably 5-7 times and always cry like a baby at the end.

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💋

Shirley MacLaine is soooo under rated as an actress. She was perfect in "Sweet Charity" and "The Children's Hour".

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.

One of my all-time favorite movies....I love ALL of these women! They are ALL AMAZING! RIP Olympia Dukakis! ❤️

Love all of these actresses. They are all so Amazing. Have followed all of them for years.

Dolly Parton is so gracious and a true lady. She just has a sweet and kind face.

Seen it 50 times and I still cry when the Sally Field funeral scene comes on. Love this movie

Definitely one of the all time greatest movies ever. Will always be in my forever top 10 if not top 5.

It’s an incredible play. The film was wonderful and very movingly cast.
