Ruby in Paradise

I already knew her from "Sisters," but this was Ashley Judd's debut film,
and it was an incredibly well-written and warm drama with a superb cast!
Ashley was charming and captivating, but Dorothy Lyman (original 'Opal') 
stole a lot of scenes!

A great story; coming of age, learning love, first romance, the attraction
of bad boys, small town life, friendship, heartache...a really fresh take.

I remember the excitement, too, of this being the first time I saw Tampa
used as a locale in a film; an extended  'Harbor Island' sequence.
But I digress...
