Pivoting around the lively Truvy Jones' Louisiana beauty parlour, a tightly-knit band of friends, confront griefs, loss, life's unforeseen tragedies and heartaches with what they do best: gossiping and sharing. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to ladies of town, Ouiser; an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee; and the local social leader, M'Lynn, and her daughter, Shelby. Steel Magnolias is an enduring story of female friendship told with an irresistible mix of laughter and tears.
