The Jilting of Granny Weatherall
Editorial Review:
Description
Seen on PBS
Written By: Teleplay writer Corinne Jacker, based on the Katherine Anne Porter classic
Starring: Geraldine Fitzgerald (Academy Award Nominated & Tony Award Nominated)
Directed By: Randa Haines (Academy Award Nominated - "Children of a Lesser God") Description: Granny Weatherall (Geraldine Fitzgerald: Academy Award Nominee & Tony Award Nominee) is a spunky old lady of eighty who bosses her doctor and her children. She seems so strong and in control, and yet she has never had the upper hand in her destiny.
One morning, a flood of long-forgotten memories bring her to the realization that of all her accomplishments, she cannot console herself for the shame-filled day she was left standing at the alter. Still, her indomitable will to live and act independently infuses the last day of her life.
Adapted from the short story by acclaimed writer Katherine Anne Porter ("Ship of Fools"), THE JILTING OF GRANNY WEATHERALL reminds us of the plight of many women who wait for life to claim them, rather than seek life out for themselves.
