“There's nothing more unattractive than a
sixty-year-old ex-cheerleader still trying to be perky.” —Fannie Flagg, The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion: A Novel (2013)
(This photograph of author-actress Fannie Flagg—best known
for the novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle-Stop Cafe--was
taken in 1972 for the CBS Network, where was appearing as a regular on The New Dick Van Dyke Show.)
