Fannie Flagg
Fannie Flagg was a regular panelist on TV's Match Game and wrote the screenplay for the 1991 film of this novel.
Feels like friendship, wonder and memory.
The one thing she'd change about her life is a driver's license.
"But I never drove a car . . . I’ve been stranded most all my life. Always stayed close to home. Always had to wait for somebody to come and carry me to the store or to the doctor or down to the church. Years ago, you used to be able to take a trolley to Birmingham, but they stopped running a long time ago. The only thing I’d do different if I could go back would be to get myself a driver’s license.
