“What movie automatically makes you cry no matter how many times you’ve seen it? You can do more than 1,” the Twitter prompt from one user reads, which resulted in hundreds of responses. And one of the most common responses? Steel Magnolias!
The movie follows a young beautician who arrives in a small Louisiana town and finds work at the local salon, where a small group of women share a close bond of friendship, and welcome her into the fold.
“BAY BAY!! Steel Magnolias will hit you in the feels every time. I also have learned that I’m more like Ouisa as I mature and I’m OK with that,” said another.
“Woke up my favorite white movie trending, Steel Magnolias. ‘Don’t talk about me like I’m not here!’ ‘Open your eyes, Shelby. Open, open your eyes,’” added another.
George Clooney was surrounded by his closest friends and family at American Film Institute’s 2018 Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute on Thursday (June 7) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
The 57-year-old actor was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award during the ceremony, and Shirley MacLaine was on hand to honor him.
“The humanity in you is what has always gotten my attention,” the 84-year-old actress said of George. “Please use your imagination for the future for all of us. … To help us understand our anger and more than anything our thwarted understanding of how to love.”

Amanda Seyfried looks super cute putting her baby bump on display!
The 31-year-old pregnant actress posed with fiance Thomas Sadoski at the premiere of their new movie The Last Word at ArcLight Hollywood on Wednesday (March 1) in Hollywood.
The 31-year-old pregnant actress and the 40-year-old actor hit the stage at ArcLight Sherman Oaks to present Shirley with the The KCET Cinema Series Lumiere Award at a special ceremony held on Tuesday (February 28) in Sherman Oaks, Calif.
“I am incredibly honored to be the recipient of the KCET Cinema Series Lumière Award,” Shirley said in a statement. “THE LAST WORD is written mostly from the point of view of a woman born in the 1930s, when women were not considered a force in business. If she wanted to be successful, she had to throw her weight around. That’s what this character does, but she’s funny at the same time. She knows that she has irritated a lot of people during her lifetime, but she wants to be remembered well. It’s also about two women who reveal things that they never would have even dared to look at before. And it’s because of their prodding of one another they are able to do that. Each learns how to know herself.”

The 82-year-old Oscar-winning actress received a standing ovation from the audience when she walked on stage with Charlize, a fellow Oscar winner.
Shirley might be in her 80s, but that doesn’t mean she is anywhere close to retiring! Her upcoming movie The Last Word will hit theaters this Friday and she has several other films in production.
FYI: Charlize is wearing a Dior Couture gown, Gianvito Rossi shoes, and Chopard jewelry.
The Mark Pellington-directed film follows the story of Harriet (Shirley MacLaine), a retired businesswoman who tries to control everything around her. When she decides to write her own obituary, a young journalist (Seyfried) takes up the task of finding out the truth resulting in a life-altering friendship.
Amanda, who’s pregnant with her first child, met Thomas when they starred in the play “The Way We Get By” in 2015. The couple reconnected on the set of The Last Word at the beginning of 2016 and have been together ever since.
