And then Roberts walked into the room. A Georgia native with a wide smile, she had appeared in obscure flicks like Firehouse, Baja Oklahoma and Satisfaction; her beloved gem Mystic Pizza had not yet been released. As Field recalls, “After I read with Julia, I said ‘We’re done, we’re done. There she is.’ I knew.”
Alas (dusty spoiler alert!), Roberts’ character does not live to see the closing credits: The hit 1989 film about friendship and resilience among six strong-willed Southern women—based on Robert Harling’s 1987 play of the same name—culminates with Shelby’s tragic death following the high-risk birth of her son and a kidney transplant.

Roberts ended up nabbing a 1989 Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her heartbreaking performance, losing to Brenda Fricker for My Left Foot. By the summer of 1990, she had ascended to the Hollywood A-List by way of her dazzling performance in Pretty Woman.
Shooting with these fellow legends? Just as amazing as it seems. “It was a great experience,” Field says. “We had a wonderful time together. We adored each other, we fought for each other, we cared for each other, we would get together and play games.”
