On this day, December 12, 1986, the heartfelt dramedy Crimes of the Heart premiered in theaters. Directed by Bruce Beresford and starring Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange, and Sissy Spacek, the film brought Beth Henley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play to life on the big screen.

Set in Mississippi, the story follows three eccentric sisters as they reunite under complicated and emotional circumstances, blending humor and drama in a way that captivated audiences. While it earned $22.9 million at the box office against its $20 million budget, Crimes of the Heart gained critical acclaim for its performances, especially Sissy Spacek, who earned an Academy Award nomination for her role.
