Terri Reed here, tired from help with costumes and set for my daughter's high school play rehearsal. They are doing Steel Magnolias. Anyone remember the movie? The year was 1989--I had just moved to New York to model. My husband and I lived in a dinky one bedroom apartment on the upper Westside of Manhattan. We saw the movie in a huge cina-plex near Lincoln Center. I cried, I laughed and cried some more. My husband thought the whole thing too sappy for words. That's a man for you.
Well, my daughter is playing Shelby. I have a hard time watching her on stage in this role. She does a fabulous job. I'm so proud of her. The play opens on Thursday, runs through the weekend and then the following weekend.
I'll be the one sitting in front with a box of kleenex in my lap.
