CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Shelby (Julia Roberts) tells M'Lynn (Sally Field) that she's going to have a baby despite the dangers caused by her diabetic condition.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The title refers to those seemingly frail Southern belles who survive any and all deprivations through whims of iron. Robert Harling's original stage play was set exclusively in a Louisiana beauty parlor where an all-female cast of characters laughed, cried and compared menfolk. The film expands the playing field by including scenes at picnics, hospitals and the like, and by visually depicting the males who never appeared in the stage version. Dolly Parton plays the goodnatured beauty-shop owner, while Shirley MacLaine is the cantankerous town eccentric, decked out in grungy overalls and speaking fluent Trash. Well-to-do Sally Field bravely endures several assaults to her sensibilities, not the least of which is the illness (and subsequent death) of daughter Julia Roberts. The performances are first-rate, with the possible exception of Daryl Hannah's overemphatic portrayal of a gawky hairdresser. The film stumbles a bit in its depiction of the male characters as fools and deadheads, and in the final overlong hospital scenes involving the comatose Roberts, which play like a road company version of Terms of Endearment. Otherwise, Steel Magnolias is a prime example of ensemble filmmaking, lovingly coordinated by director Herbert Ross. (Sidebar: Herbert Ross was reportedly rather rough on Julia Roberts, deriding her lack of experience. The rest of the female cast rallied around Roberts and told the director to lay off or pay the price).

She wasn't ''jealous'' nor she made anything difficult... She was concerned and in the end she was right.
I think M'Lynn always felt that Jackson convinced Shelby to risk having a baby even though the doctor told her how dangerous it would be. She always felt that Jackson didn't take Shelby's health and feelings as seriously as he could have.
I always felt like Shelby downplayed the severity of her condition to Jackson. Since M'Lynn was the only person upset by Shelby's pregnancy (publically at least) he had no reason to doubt Shelby.
Mia That was probably the truth to some extent but don’t forget at the beginning of the movie she had told Jackson she wouldn’t marry him because she didn’t want to deny him the chance to have children and he didn’t care. So he knew that having a baby would be a serious risk for her. But also like M’Lynn said normality was important to Shelby and I suspect she was very convincing to Jackson that she could handle a pregnancy without hurting herself.
When they were at the salon for her wedding M'Lynn told them that Shelby has been really upset lately cause of the doctor saying children weren't possible.
@@Mia-dt3gl Except for the part where the DOCTORS told him. Yeah, he knew.
But he didn’t care or help enough. Shelby talks about it in the play. How he doesn’t help, most of the time he doesn’t do a damn thing and every week he’s off hunting. So it seems Jackson was ready to get married to some pretty thing and didn’t actually care about taking care of her even though he knew she’d need it.
Is it just me or did Julia look beautiful in this scene ?
She was so gorgeous when she was younger
Gorgeous.
She is 50 now, but yes, she is beautiful anyway.
Nicolas James Stunning. She's still gorgeous.
Very!
When I first saw this as a child, I thought it sad that she wanted a baby so badly she would risk her health. Rewatched it as an adult and found it even more tragic because it is hinted at that she’s doing it because her marriage is failing, and she hopes a baby can save it.
Exactly. And the sadest of all is that this is a true story. Susan's husband got married again 5 months after her death.
Yeah, seems like she wants a "normal" life so badly and she wasn't entirely straight with the guy, who really done a bit more research if having a baby was so damn important
'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take But by the moments that take our breath away"
love wut you said
That's called asthma...
CRINGE, shallow, empty phrase for idealists. So you think that those who are unhappy are not worth living in the hope it gets better? So you think it's better to die young? How old are you to believe this crap?
Sally Field is so good in this movie. So effortless and natural
I was an extra in the movie. Sally Fields must have been deep into her character acting, because when off camera I expected to meet the Flying Nun, she was angry and sad, and not the least bit nice, around that time we were shooting Shelby's pregnancy announcement.
How ironic. She had a wonderfull mother, a handsome husband, lovely friends, niciest father and brothers, but.... she felt she had nothing special in her life.
It is different. Some peoe want to adopt but because of their health or partners health are dinide. That is the only reason she decided to take the risk and carry her own baby.
I don't know why some women go so crazy if they can't have a baby. I'm 39 without kids and no regrets.
Science not religion mam , considering your account name you are smart that’s why. A stupid biomed student here...
She said they would not let her because she had severe diabetes.
Science not religion Because it's something they really want to experience. They want the joy of having their first child. Of holding their own baby. If you're 39 and bitter, good for you. But some people don't want to be that way.
One of the best and saddest movies ever. My sweet cousin is in a diabetic coma now and all her organs are shutting down. This movie is like her life except she lost her baby before he was born. I also lost my grandma 3 weeks ago so it's been rough lately.
I’m sending strength and love to you. Hang in there ❤️❤️❤️
Sending you strength ❤️
I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry, and I am sending you a cocoon of love ❤
I wish you strength. ❤
When you desperatly trying to save your child from a fatal mistake and the child just doesn't listen 😒😔😕
She just wanted to be able to give her Mama a Grandbaby just like her brothers would get married and she'd have those kids but she wanted a baby so badly I hate that this is based on a true story
That's what being a parent is about and its not at all easy
A mothers worst fear.
Seriously? In the middle of the line, the scene just gets cut?
"I'd rather have 30 mins of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special."
M’Lynn was just trying to be a good mother and save everyone from severe heartbreak if something bad happened to Shelby. Shelby knew the risks but either didn’t want to believe them or chose to ignore them. I get why she wanted to do it but she left her husband a widower and her son without a mother in the end. Sometimes you have to sacrifice what you want most in life to keep yourself healthy. It’s not ideal, but it’s life.
Like you said, that’s life. Shelby chose and life did it’s part. They were two paths and one ended her life, who know if the other one couldn’t ended that way? She chose to be happy and that’s all that matters.
The acting is AMAZING in this movie.
Its sad that she wanted to have a baby even though getting pregnant and going into labor could put so much stress on her kidney, and her heart. Her mother was concerned because she was told by Shelby's doctor that because of the effects of her Type 1 diabetes in her case that was often quite unpredictable, she couldn't have kids without ending her life in the process. Unfortunately the dread that the mother was fearing came true.
This movie has made me cry all the time
Same!
Fr
I just now put two and two together after reading an answer on another site, they mentioned Nancy Beth. She refers to the fact that she's been with Jackson intimately, saying he is "a big hanging man". It kind of sets the tone to the "ladies man" persona Jackson has. It also foreshadows for later in the film, when Shelby bitterly says, "Jackson loves to hunt for anything". I always felt that having babies wasn't the only reason Shelby reconsidered marrying Jackson. I always suspected she feared womanizing on the side would happen.
Yes, and I remembered in her death scene he was mighty quick to sign the papers that would permit taking her off life support...
I know this movie by heart. Ive seen it 1000 times!!! I love it. Best movie ever!!!!💕
Calu Mosca me too
“Nobody’s going to be hurt, disappointed, or even inconvenienced.” Nobody, that is, except your child who will grow up without a mother, your husband who will lose his partner and become a single father, and your parents who will lose their child prematurely. All for 30 minutes of wonderful, seriously?
And her mother ended without a kidney. The worst part ever!!!
Ikr
Seriously, she had faith she would live
Her husband remarried less than 6 months after she died. She sacrificed her life thinking a baby would save their marriage and it was all for nothing.
As a diabetic I too reached for the stars. I was the captain of a 60’ sailing yacht for 12 years. But … my doctor said NO when I wanted to go to the gulf and volunteer for Katrina cleanup.
Now at 68 I can say my life was full but challenges continue because of this insidious illness.
It's a blessing to be able to say that about your life. Keep doing what you can and enjoy it!❤
That was a terrible place to cut her off!
CrazyRandomBeautiful I was just thinking the same. How dare they?
Thank you!
haha i choked at how they ended that! loved that this is the top comment hahaha!
Same#!! That is so the best part!!! Just ugh! I was trying to show the quote, and it kinda ruined the mood.
i have the whole scene on my channel!
Julia Roberts is drop dead gorgeous 😍
I'd rather have 43-44 years of happiness than a lifetime of nothing!! Guess even that way outweighs 30 minutes. Thank you Lord for every single second.
I did this skit for an acting class years ago. Spent the night with my best friend and we watched this movie. The next day we went to school, we did this scene
GOOD CHOICE!
Vicki Langer thanks! :)
i had to do this scene too! for a college class “acting for the camera”
I so understand both of them in this!
Selfish of her to risk what ultimately happened leaving her baby motherless
As a young diabetic type 1, I watched this movie and cried and it made me never want to have a baby, BUT, God/the Universe did send me one later in life. The delivery was EXTREMELY complicated (I had pneumonia and he was born at 7 months also with pneumonia), but, TODAY, my boy's the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
The mother was right she should not have had a baby and risked it. Most people would not do it if told it was not a good thing by the Dr.
It's real easy to say that when you aren't the person facing her situation and going through it. I had a really healthy pregnancy but when I went into labor I felt like someone stabbed me in my stomach and was twisting the knife constantly. It wasn't until my water broke and I stood up and blood went everywhere that I knew there was a really bad problem with the labor, the placenta detached to early and me and my baby both could have died from it.
It seems so unfair that people who are really good and kind end up having to go through something like this when they shouldn't and people who neglect and abuse kids can have as many kids as they want.
And sometimes doctors are wrong
And leave the baby motherless???
@Angelina Yeah, I totally sided with the mother here.
Yes ! I would rather have 30 minutes of wonderful , than a lifetime of nothing special ! Love this quote ❤️
Be careful what you wish
@@ingridcote9439 Exactly!😔
Cringe. This quote is only good for naive idealistic kids and sorry mam, you don't look like one. Do you really think it was worth for her to die young just to experience few years of motherhood? How many things could she experience if she didn't make this decision? Not everything is about children, and she didn't even get to experience that ''wonderful'' that much!
#1 Mother's Day Movie Ever!!!❤❤❤❤❤
That last line though...............
"than a lifetime of nothin' special."
i dont get it she had a wonderfull family , lovely friends amd a cute housband and she really thougth she needed a baby to feel something special even when she knew that could mean her death and the biggest sadness to the people who loved her
Wonder if your mother felt as you do that'd you'd be here to say that ? A little more complicated than that I am sure.
@@rafaelortega854 you are a guy and can't carry a baby so you won't be able to understand it.
She meant about not having kids at all.
@@loriaverill5616 u are right but if a where a woman and my doctor says you better don get a baby i simply doont . Look at the end of the movie it Speaks for itself
Love how these clips always cut off right before the best part. Thanks. Thanks so much.
I wonder if jackson really did not take into account how seriously fatal it could be ( & was ) for shelby to have a baby. Please dont flame me for this but shelby saying she would rather have 30 min of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special tells me she knows the huge risks. Maybe she was in denial or thought the drs were wrong but did she or jackson consider the strong possibility that their baby most likely would grow up w/ o a mom ? Shelby has every right to take risks with her life but they really should have considered how horrible it would be for jack Jr to never know his mom. Imagine the guilt that child will have knowing his birth caused her death? Shelby had to think her drs are wrong or she will be a miracle bc if she saw into the future & knew she was gonna die I cant imagine shed want to die or have jack grow up Motherless.
I also think her mom feels like shelby thinks a handsome young lawyer who could get many women she thinks shelby felt pressured not to cheat Jackson of not having a baby bc mylinn knows that he knows the drs were very clear she will most likely die.
Also why not try surrogacy if the adoption agents say no bc of her health ?
Surrogacy is pretty new, regarded with deep suspicion by a lot of Conservative Christians, and this movie takes place in the early 90s and in the South. It doesn't make sense to the story for a variety of reasons.
Back then it was as common in the US. It wasn't until the 90s and 2000s that surrogacy became popular. I think at least.
Shelby said because of her poor health no judge would allow an adoption
mlynn is just concern her health shelby is right there is risks involved in a lot of things I think
heidi
Yeah and the healthiest person on the planet that had an easy pregnancy could end up with complications during labor.
This was my favorite scene to do in my play last year 😍
I know how hard it was on M'Lynn, Drum, Jonathan and Tommy but Jackson and Little Jackson are their family too.
This movie hits different as an adult & parent
I love this film and this scene
I ❤Julie Roberts she is so beautiful 👩
En af mine ynglings filme👏👏. Jeg elsker Julia Roberts. Hun er en fantastisk skuespiller
My mom is very over protective over me because of my health problems too and she does control everything I do and every one around her She Love me so much she doesn't want me hurt and she doesn't want to lose me because my parents almost lost me when 7 years old that traumatized them I love my parents so much
She right tho there a risk for everything in life but you just get through it.
The only thing I hate about this movie is shelby because she was told not to have children because of her condition and what does she end up doing? Having a son! Like that's really stupid and dangerous of her. 😬
She could have adopted a baby.
@@dietrichjoanne They tried and the agencies said no because of her Diabetes.
@@melindoranightsilver9298, I never realized that. It is so sad 😞
Both sublime!
Don't watch this until the end. It cuts off in mid-sentence when Shelby's saying something important.
Shelby risked her health by working. Had she stayed home and recooperated she might have lived?
IF I was in her situation I'd tell My Husband we have to Adopt a 👶 baby
I believe they tried to adopt or foster and the agency turned them down multiple times because of Shelbys health condition
@@twiseart wow that’s garbage. She may have diabetes but that won’t impair her from being the best mother
It is horrible how this cuts off the best line in the movie.
She got greedy with this baby wish 😢she left a kid behind too, when she passed out and her baby started crying made my heart bleed...
I think director of the film Herbert Ross (Taurus) (The Bull) was jealous of Julia Roberts (Scorpio) (The Scorpion) because she could successfully act and became a famous where he didn't have success as an actor before he became a film director which is why he critized her while working on this film and told her she couldn't act when she truly could.
the cut off at the end 😒
You literally but this video off at the most important line!
So why couldn't she just adopt a child?
Katie Bailey Plus, IVF and surrogacy were nowhere near as common as it is today. Try putting yourselves in her shoes before you cast judgement, guys. I've seen so much judgement regarding this on here.
Because she has severe Type 1 Diabetes she figured she wouldn't get approved for adopting a baby with her medical record.
Because people with a medical history of severe diabetes can't adopt children. Adopting is very hard to do. My friend and her husband adopted some brothers and it took them along time to go through the adoption process and the people at the adoption agency went through their entire history but now they have two boys that are doing great with them and they have started the adoption process all over again and are gonna adopt a 2 year old girl.
@@kerdunne3422 it's not that she figured she would be able to adopt a child it's something adoption agencies would have told her and that is one reality of adoption.
@@terraclaiborne2088The surrogacy option wouldn't have put a strain on her kidneys though. Even though this was the late 80s, it's a possible option Shelby could've considered, if she had a surrogate carry the baby for her, she'd be alive.
Does someone have the monologue written or something?? :( I really need it!!
if you like the dialogue, i highly recommend reading the play the movie was based on: smile.amazon.com/Steel-Magnolias-Acting-Robert-Harling/dp/0822210789/. i had the pleasure of seeing and working on productions of it right around the time the movie came out.
You can find it on IMDB in the movie's Quotes section.
@@jculver1674 about a year too late lol
Youth is wasted on the young....it’s true....
Shelby was an idealistic fool.
finally someone said it! XD
She didn't even think about her family, just her own selfish desires.
Messylin Yep, who cares about the motherless baby anyway.
Type 1 diabetic mothers can have babies though
A Man Has No Name yea, this story is based on the author’s sister though, who unfortunately had this fate
When i watch this now i wonder if surrogacy would have been a better option for someone like Shelby. Great Movie.
Harvesting the mothers eggs is no picnic. I knew someone who had to give herself shots repeatedly in order to ovulate and it was rough on her. If using donated eggs less so
Why couldn’t she adopt?
I never got it. So she and her husband decided to get pregnant anyway, after knowing it would be a death sentence for her. The son would be without his mother...
In this scene Shelby said she can’t adopt because no Judge would give her a baby with her medical history.
For her medical history.
If my mother ''could of been capable of saying''
What?
Oh wow 😊
Un film che ho visto
My Mom was so worried about me having my second child due to thyroid issues ETC. I had three healthy lovies.
Am I the only one that thinks Shelby's kind of a brat in this scene?
yall really hating on shelby in these comments.
so sad :(
I feel them both here but...Shelby speaks louder. Me and my husband have been trying almost 2 years and finally...after many Dr visits...have agreed we will have to stop. If I were to get pregnant now...my illness has progressed too far and it will no longer be safe for me and baby. My heart is broken. I tried to race the clock but sadly. My times run out. Baby dust to everyone who's trying.
What is the name of the music that plays in this scene??? 😣
The original soundtrack was composed and conducted by French film musician Georges Delerue, one of the best in the business (died in 1992). Soundtrack is available.
@@guramile he wrote such beautiful music. This & Silkwood are two of my favorite movie soundtracks.
Ahhh she looks like Lana del rey
I take care of children survived meningitis and a coma had two blood transfusions and was diagnosed with high blood pressure I want to have children and be a mother I want to go naturally in water but I’m scared because I’m not sure if I can I’m on medical weight loss medication
Then it just cuts off
I love the movie steel magnolias it stars Sally field dolly Parton and Olympia dukasis. I love the part when shelby gets pregnant and her mama is very mad at shelby. When she has a child. And she not happy
I'd cry over My daughter's situation
julia roberts is soooo beautiful. i'm a heterosexual girl but i've always found her just breath taking.
I have seen this movie, but I don't remember why is it they couldn't adopt a baby?
I did manage to have a baby. I was special.
Saly
How can anyone say she was wrong for having a baby? With a good quality father, a mother that knew dedication, and grandparents who loved with their lives. Anyone that’s ever struggled to have a child should get this. Shocked they don’t. Or many.
As much as 30 minutes
i don't care if my daughter was already grown up and married but if i was m'lynn i would of walked up to shelby and slapped her after she said you're jealous because you no longer have a say so in what i do and that drives you up the wall you're ready to spit nails because you can't call the shots
then you shouldn’t have kids. if your first reaction is to hit someone, especially someone smaller and younger than you, you need help.
Seek professional help. and do a world favor don't have kids.
I guess back then they did not have surrogates, that would have solved their problem, since they were not allowed to adopt due to her health, and they would have found maybe a close friend, family member to be the carrier, the religious blond girl in this movie would have done it....
The first surrogate child Louise Brown was born in Great Britain in the 1970 s.
i tihnk julia roberts died in this but no one believed me
How come Shelby adopt a baby?
Adoption agencies were very picky about potential candidates for Adoption of children. Shelby and Jack likely tried that route but given Shelbys health issues they were denied.
Manifestation dont do it ladies
I really feel for Shelby in this instance. She is not being selfish at all; despite the great risks, she still wants to be a mum more than anything. Those of you hating on Shelby because of her pregnancy, just stop! Sometimes a woman’s instinct to be a mum is so strong that they are willing to risk all to bring life into the world. Just stop passing judgement
My. Husband. Is. Diabetic.
Shelby is the worst caracter in this film. The most selfish and unconsidered one I've ever seen. She left a orphan baby and her mother ended without a kidney in order to satisfy her own caprices. Your decitions affects the people who you love, therefore if you wanna be happy you should make sure not to hurt them or leave them in the moments that they mostly need you
The baby wasn't an orphan, he still had a father.
I don’t think it’s selfish for one aspiring for their life to have meaning and purpose. Others are selfish for not supporting her and rather have her stay in a safe bubble and alive….alive for what?!
@@sonofhibbs4425 is abbandoning a child a life purpose? I didn't go to class that day! If you know that you have a terminal disease or in a very advanced age the best thing you can do is not bringing life to this world, but I guess this is not the way many people think.
@@ingridcote9439 she didn’t go into it in order to ‘’abandon’’ her baby. She survived the pregnancy. She wanted to TRY. Hell, ANYONE in life is not guaranteed they will be around after their children are born. Maybe no one should have babies then??
I only saw this movie once a few years after it came out, when I was about 12 years old, so I don’t remember much about it….so who knows, maybe if I rewatched it I’d agree with you about Shelby. But it doesn’t seem selfish at all. The whole purpose of life is to bring forth more life.
That's the south. For the good and for the bad.
So many women abort their babies for selfish reasons and many are brave and loving to experience that 30 minutes of wonderful no matter what.
If they're risking their life to have a child, and abort it yo save themselves, how on earth is that selfish? It's their life...
Victoria Winter Risking your life having a baby knowing full well there is a big chance the baby will lose their mother prematurely and will have to grow up without her. But the baby doesn't matter, it's the mother's wishes that matter - talk about SELFISH! Not sure you even see how ( ironically ) selfish your statement is. Amazing.
She's selfish to put herself I n danger of dying instead of raising him, she shouldn't have gotten pregnant on purpose
Prelestnost2 exactly. 30 min of joy to her and then a lifetime of no mother for a child. NO A lifetime knowing that you killed your mother when you were born...that’s how children think ,they blame themselves...yeah...that’s nice...
So much judgement here. I'm wondering how judgemental you all would be in the 1980s, when this movie took place.

Isaiah 54
Julia had an unusual type of beauty that looks really good when she's young, but comes out very weird looking 20 years later.
Other examples are people such as Meryl Streep and Geena Davis.
Very hot when young, but bizarre when older.
It's called aging... Maybe you've heard of it? Happens to most people. Wish people would let female celebrities age without being jerks about it.
I’m sure you look much better than Julia, Robert.
The only difference is that she lost baby fat and her face got angular, lips got a bit thinner and made her mouth look wider. It happens with aging.
@@hannahwrenn406 Nahhhh. I was far more handsome at 25 than at 55.
But women like me more now because I was poor then and now I'm doing great.
Being older now at 28 years old, i understand shelby. Doctors told me children may not be possible for me because of my hormones aren’t always normal. But i would do anything to be a mother, that’s all I’ve ever wanted.
And yes i have friends, a nice family and a good job but like shelby, I’m still missing out on something special.
I’d risk my life to have a baby of my own, because just like she says, “i would rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special” 🤍
Why couldn't she adopt?
Shelby mentioned that it was not possible to adopt a child because of her medical record. Since she had the severe type of diabetes, adoption agencies didn't allow this.
