Cheers to the Lifetime network for bringing a new version of Robert Harling’s irresistible play Steel Magnolias to the small screen! On October 7, the beloved story of a group of Southern women who gather at the neighborhood beauty salon will reach a fresh audience, with a fabulous cast of African-American actresses. We’ve got your first look at Queen Latifah as proud mom M’Lynn, Tony nominee Condola Rashad as her bride-to-be daughter Shelby, Jill Scott as salon owner Truvy, Tony winner Phylicia Rashad as down-to-earth widow Clairee, Alfre Woodard as loveable busybody Ouiser and Adepero Oduye as innocent salon assistant Annelle. We cannot wait for this one!
