DIANNE LADD (Laura Dern's Oscar Winning Mom who looks Exactly Like her daughter when she was young) plays an obnoxious relative who visits the Baxters home... Hazel tries her best to tolerate her hideous behavior, but she becames more and more intolerable by the minute... LADD shows in this early performance in her career how she could chew up the scenery and steal scenes years before her Oscar wins.

Hazel Meets Florence Jean Castleberry?
richard.fuller119 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Diane Ladd, the first Flo, not Polly Holliday, the best-known Flo, from Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, then the follow-up show, Alice, appears as the southern cousin who would not leave.
It's up to Hazel to get rid of her.
Partially amusing to think of Oscar nominee Florence Jean Castleberry encountering Oscar Winner Lola from Little Sheba.
At a slight glance, it did seem to be Laura Dern in the role, even down to the hairdo.
Pity they never managed to take things full circle and Shirley Booth appear on Alice, with Holliday or Ladd when she appeared on there as Belle. Then we would have had maid meeting waitress meeting waitress.
