Steel Magnolias is a tearjerker icon with a lovely ensemble cast of women featuring Sally Field and Dolly Parton. Roberts plays a spry young woman named Shelby, who shares strong relationships with her mother's friends. The first half of the movie follows the hilarious misadventures leading up to her marriage. A few years after she gives birth, Shelby experiences complications linked to her diabetes, and the film takes a sharp turn into tissue-wielding territory.
