She who laughs, lasts.

Meet Lucy Marsden, 99 years old, the widow of the American Civil War’s last surviving soldier. An unrepentant child bride and the mother of his nine children, she now lives to tell. And tell. And tell!

A remarkable woman recounts her life story in this harrowing and hilarious comedy about wars, both Civil and domestic. Based on Allan Gurganus' classic best-selling novel, Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, featuring Jane Holding as Lucille Marsden.
