Towanda! People everywhere lined up for tickets to the 1991 film, “Fried Green Tomatoes.” A
tale of friendship, memory and inner strength, “Tomatoes” delivered tears and laughter, and
brought in over $100 million at the box office. The film was also one of the few to ever focus on
a potentially lesbian love story. Or was it just ... friendship? Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary
Louise Parker had the chemistry, but were LGBTQ+ audiences cheated out of something more?
