TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Mary Stuart Masterson did all of the bee stunts herself because her stunt double quit at the last minute.

There really is a Whistle Stop Cafe that does indeed serve fried green tomatoes (among other Southern foods) just north of Macon Georgia. It is in the actual area where many of the scenes were filmed. After the film became a huge success, the Whistle Stop Cafe set was turned into an actual restaurant, and its surrounding area into a tourist attraction. Although they may have filmed in Georgia, the true Whistle Stop Cafe is in Irondale, Alabama (a suburb of Birmingham, where Author Fannie Flagg grew up.)

Author Fannie Flagg is the woman telling the classroom of disaffected women, "You can get that spark back into your marriage!"

Director Jon Avnet referred to Mary-Louise Parker as "Lou" and Mary Stuart Masterson as "Stu" on the set because their names are so similar and he had to say them so often.

An August 2017 New York Times profile of Mary Stuart Masterson (Idgie), said that she has recently installed two beehives on her family's farm in the Hudson Valley region of New York State. Masterson explained that she had long wanted to become a beekeeper because of the role that beekeeping played in Idgie's life: "Ever since 'Fried Green Tomatoes' I've felt like a sham."

"[Evelyn is cut off in a parking lot] Evelyn Couch: Hey! I was waiting for that spot! Girl #1: Face it, lady, we're younger and faster! [Evelyn rear-ends the other car six times] Girl #1: What are you *doing*? Girl #2: Are you *crazy*? Evelyn Couch: Face it, girls, I'm older and I have more insurance."

"Sipsey: Oh it don't make no kind of sense. Big ol' ox like Grady won't sit next to a colored child. But he eats eggs- shoot right outta chicken's ass!"
