HollywoodNews.com: Let's face it, the cast for the movie version of Steel Magnolias was perfect: Sally Field as M'Lynn and Julia Roberts as her daughter Chelsea. There was also Dolly Parton as Truvvy, owner of the local hair salon where all the ladies gather and Darryl Hannah as Annelle, the new girl in town hired by Truvvy as a hairdresser. And finally, you had the great Shirley MacLaine as the town grump Ouiser and Olympia Dukakis as her best friend Clairee.
I can do all of their line readings – especially Sally Field's at her daughter's graveside: "I'm fiiiiiiiiiinnnnne!!!!!!!"
Now comes word that Lifetime is cooking up a contemporary remake of the film with an all-black cast.
Oh, what fun!
Let's explore the possibilities!
The casting of M'Lynn is key since she's sort of the glue that holds all the women together. Sally Field was exceptional in the role and robbed of an Oscar nomination (only Julia Roberts was nominated for the film).
This is certainly a role Oscar nominee Viola Davis could sink her teeth into. She should be offered the part on a silver platter. But the star of The Help and Doubt certainly has her pick of parts these days. If she won't do it, Angela Bassett or Alfre Woodard could nail it or even Halle Berry who is technically old enough to be a grandmother.
