Below is a list of the character descriptions:
TRUVY JONES – 40ish. She is the owner of the beauty shop in fictional Chinquapin
Parish, Louisiana, where Steel Magnolias is set.
ANNELLE DUPUY-DeSOTO – age about 19 (one of the other characters describes her by saying: “she can’t be more than 18”). A young hairstylist.
CLAIREE BELCHER – age late 60s to early 70s. The former “First Lady of
Chinquapin,” she is a “grande dame” who has only recently lost her husband (Lloyd) of almost 50 years, the former Mayor of the town.
SHELBY EATENTON-LATCHERIE – age about 25. Shelby is the “prettiest girl in
town.” The daughter of M’Lynn and Drum Eatenton, sister to Tommy and Jonathan,
and soon to be wed to Jackson Latcherie, Shelby is free-spirited and tends to speak her mind, which often brings her into conflict with her mother.
M’LYNN (Mary Lynn) EATENTON – age early 50s, though she has the look and
constitution of someone a decade younger. Socially prominent in the town, married to Drum Eatenton, a successful and affluent man, M’Lynn is herself a career woman who works as a counselor at the local Mental Guidance Center.
OUISER (pronounced “Weezer”) BOUDREAUX – age late 60s to early 70s. A wealthy
curmudgeon, she is acerbic but ultimately lovable. Possessed of a sharp tongue, she can be sardonic, severe, sarcastic, scathing, severe, snarky, and stinging – BUT the barbs must never totally mask that a good, kind, and caring woman exists beneath the veneer of a brittle older woman.
