Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen at the premiere of DreamWorks Pictures' The Help.
Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen hit the red carpet at the world premiere of The Help held August 9, 2011 at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, CA.
The Help Synopsis: Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, The Help is the story of Skeeter, a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends’ lives—and a small Mississippi town—upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families.
Aibileen, Skeeter’s best friend’s housekeeper, is the first to open up—to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter’s life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories—and as it turns out, they have a lot to say. Along the way, unlikely friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges, but not before everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they become unwittingly—and unwillingly—caught up in the changing times.
