Life, Jessica Tandy as Ninny Threadgoode from Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)


Everyone thought she'd die right along with him. Night after night, she stayed by the river. Big George was the only soul she'd let near her, and he watched over her night and day. You know, a heart can be broken, but it still keeps a-beating just the same.

Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it's time to reflect on what's come before.
