Carol Sobieski

Sobieski scripted her first feature, "Sunshine Part II" in 1975 and subsequently wrote "Casey's Shadow" (1978), "Honeysuckle Rose" (1980), John Huston's misbegotten film of the Broadway musical "Annie" (1982) and Tim Hunter's teen film "Sylvester" (1985). She received a posthumous Oscar nomination for adapting (with novelist Fannie Flagg) the strongly feminist "Fried Green Tomatoes" (1991), Flagg's moving novel about independent-spirited, convention-spurning women living in the South in the 1930s.
