This is one of my favorite old movies and everything I watch it the part where Julia Roberts(Shebly) dies makes me so sad. In the new version Queen Latifah, Jill Scott an up-and-coming actress Adepero Oduye will be a part of a new cast for the television film for the 1989 film ‘Steel Magnolias.’
Queen Latifah is joining the star-studded cast for Lifetime’s all-African-American Steel Magnolias reboot as M’Lynn, the character played by Sally Field in the 1989 feature film of the same name. Condola Rashad will play her diabetes-stricken daughter, Shelby (played by Julia Roberts), and Rashad’s mother Phylicia will reinterpret the role of Clairee (portrayed by Olympia Dukakis). Alfre Woodard will tackle the irascible Ouiser, who was unforgettably played by Shirley MacLaine, Jill Scott looks to fill Dolly Parton’s shoes as understanding hairdresser Truvy, and Pariah breakout Adepero Oduye will play insecure newcomer Annelle, made famous by Daryl Hannah. As you know the original film took place in Georgia, this story will be placed in the state of Lousiana, the Queen will also have her hands in on the production end, too…
