Good to see Frances profiled here. She was one of my writing professors in college in the early ‘90s when she started to follow her Bramasole dream. Lovely.
29 years ago! Seems like yesterday. The book is wonderful and if you only saw the movie give it ago. The movie in its own right was also terrific. A classic and wonderful for this summers reading. I am now going to check out her other books. If you have a book you will never be alone or bored! Enjoy....
As a single, adventurous woman who regularly follows her heart, I confess I'm a little sad that the real story is about a happily married couple moving to Italy (vs. the way the movie portrayed things). HA! Either way, bravo!
I loved the book. But, the movie fell short, in my opinion, by the inclusion of the love affair. The movie didn't need that; the story is captivating enough without it.
Renovations done by people who don't consult with knowledgeable architects before taking on major work can do a lot of structural damage. They could very well have seen the whole house collapse. Great to see that they succeeded in saving this beautiful property.
💚🤍❤️ Grazie 😉👌 Taliansko som vždy milovala a do filmu som sa pravdaže zamilovala tiež. Žiaľ i môj život sa mu zacal tak trochu podobať. Presťahovala som sa a prerábam. Nikoho som tu nepoznala. Dnes čítam La bella Toscana a usmievam sa. " Poznam predstaviteľov " Aspon z filmu a pozdravujem záhradníka signora Martini 👋😊 ĎAKUJEM !!! Mille GRAZIE signora Frances . Per TUTTO !!! Con amore Maťa dalla Slovacchia 👋😊🇸🇰 💕💕💕
Loved the movie and the author and her very sweet husband! Very happy to see the couple together! So much love and well wishes from an Indian living in MiddleEast!🥰❤️😍
Regret watching this... Reading the book right now and would prefer having Diane Lane in head when imagining the picture. The real person and the real story have much less charm than the fiction ones
I know!! I'm shocked, too! Under the Tuscan Sun was a memoir, wasn't it? I remember she mentioned in the book the she "ended a marriage that wasn't supposed to end and was left with a grown-teenage daughter" or something.
Yes, in real life, was was divorced. Her ex-husband is her daughter Ashley’s father. But she’d been in a relationship with Ed for several years by the time she began writing her book. Her real life divorce happened a very long time ago.

Under the Tuscan Sun,
My favorite book.

I thought the same thing! It inspired me tremendously! But it was indeed great to see the actual, beautiful villa! :)

Absolutely love this story

Love her books.
She reminds me of an older Renee Zellweger with her speech . Mrs. Mayes is a beautiful and talented woman, with such an amazing husband.
This interview was much tooo short. What a lovely couple and what a lovely life.
Adore the movie. Under the Tuscan Sun walked so Eat Pray Love could run ❤
Beautiful interview.
From Colombia.
She looks a bit like Shirley McClain. I love that movie and the book.
This is one of my favorite movies.:)
Fantastic story. Loved the movie.
Amazing place.
My favorite movie
My favorite movie! My dream❤

There is no Marchelo in the book?
Love The Movie!😢🎉😂❤🎉

Wait, so she was never divorced? :O

I loved the movie as I saw myself... in her.. after my divorce and moving to Mexico.

Not sure why Jane Pauley has to wear a life preserver to conduct an interview
Jane Pauley didn't conduct the interview,and your comment was rude.
