The real "Minerva" died in 2009. She was not a "Voodoo" woman, but rather a Hoodoo woman.

@MidnightinSavannah this is true. Savannah is my favorite city in the U.S. And indeed, touring or even living in Savannah is worth it.

One of the greatest movies of all times!

I absolutely love this movie.

This scene is a good example of why the movie didn't work -- even this, the title scene, just lays there, flat as a pancake and does nothing.

Eastwood just missed all of the potential in the story.

Irma P. Hall was on a tv show a few weeks ago.

Minerva real name is Valerie Boles. John Berendt actually changed most of the names in the book. If you're ever in Savannah,take a "Midnight In the Garden" tour it is well worth the money.

I L*O*V*E Minerva, especially when she spies a squirrel on a park bench, and she says something to the effect, "I knew you when you were just a 2-bit hustler on Second Street."
