About this episode
In this week’s episode of Reel Sisters Rewind, sisters Amanda Stephens and Missy Washam explore the beloved Southern classic, Steel Magnolias. Growing up in the South, Amanda and Missy have a deep connection to the film’s themes of friendship, family, and resilience. The movie beautifully captures the strength of Southern women and the bond they share, making this episode extra special.
What makes it even more unique is that Steel Magnolias is based on a true story. The character Shelby was inspired by the real-life Susan Harling Robinson, and this week, Amanda and Missy welcome a special guest, Jacki Giesey, who grew up with the Harling family. Jacki was even present at the wedding that inspired parts of the film, offering listeners an intimate look behind the scenes of this iconic story.
Due to the richness of the conversation with Jacki, a bonus episode will be released later this week, featuring her extended interview. Be sure to tune in for this extra-special episode!
