The Last Word

Synopsis

Shirley McLaine is in hilariously acerbic form as a retired businesswoman who tries to control everything around her. To make sure her life story is told her way, she pays a local newspaper to have her obituary written in advance under her watchful eye. But the young journalist assigned to the task refuses to follow the script and instead insists on finding out the true facts about her life, resulting in a life-altering friendship.
