Fannie Flagg is from Birmingham, Alabama; a fact that has defined her professional career. Fannie always wanted to write, but because of her struggles with dyslexia, she was embarrassed to show her writing to anyone. Instead, Fannie turned to acting. She landed small roles on TV before being cast on Candid Camera. Throughout the 70s she had small roles on TV and in film. She even starred on Broadway. In 1978 she entered a writing contest which she won. Her story was from the perspective of an 11-year-old girl, which successfully hid her spelling problems. When a publisher approached her about expanding the story into a novel, she was appalled that someone might discover her secret.
