This home was once inhabited by the real Miss Daisy, from the movie,
Driving Miss Daisy. Actually, her name was Mrs. Lena Fox,
and her grandson, Alfred Uhry, won an Academy Award for the screenplay
adapted from his play. I understand that the character in the movie was
inspired by both his grandmother and his mother, but nevertheless,
all three of them lived in the house for many years. The text from
the sales brochure created by James Helms of RE/MAX Metro appears below.
