Hello, I believe it was on the WILLIS and LOUISIANA rootsweb lists recently that I was made aware of the movie, "MY LOUISIANA SKY," which was made from a book written by one of the listers cousins and took place in Louisiana in the 1950's. Just yesterday, I was fortunate enough to see it on SHOWTIME and it constantly moved me to tears with memories of my grandmothers, Allie Artimissa PARKER (MYRICK) and Ethel Rosalea HATTEN (WOMACK) (SLAUGHTER) and my parents and my wonderful aunts and uncles and my cousins that I visited near Oak Grove, West Carroll Parish, LA as I grew up in the 50's and 60's. My mother, grandmothers and aunts are/were all the epitome of "Steel Magnolias," as are the ladies in this real life story. The heroine of the piece, "Tiger Ann," was exceptional as was the young actress that played her as well as everyone else in this wonderfully authentic piece. Her grandmother was played by Shirley KNIGHT who was so very excecptional, as always, in her authenticity and Juliette LEWIS did a lovely job as the aunt. Unfortunately, I do not remember the names of the actors who played Tiger Ann's parents, the father is a regular on "X-FILES," but they were, also, wonderful in their roles. It was believable....not overdone. Thank you for letting us know about the movie. I recommend that everyone see it. And, also, if you didn't see "PEARL HARBOR" this weekend, don't let some of the lukewarm reviews of the critics stop you as it is a wonderfully made movie that is so very moving. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett
