Driving Miss Daisy is a 1989 American comedy-drama film directed by Bruce Beresford with Jessica Tandy, Morgan Freeman, and Dan Aykroyd

In 1948, Daisy Werthan, or Miss Daisy, a 72-year-old wealthy, Jewish, widowed, retired schoolteacher, lives alone in Atlanta, Georgia, except for a black housekeeper, Idella.
When Miss Daisy accidentally drives her 1946 Chrysler Windsor into her neighbor's yard, her 40-year-old son, Boolie, buys her a Hudson Commodore and hires 60-year-old Hoke Colburn, a black chauffeur, as Miss Daisy can no longer drive anymore due to her being a high risk with the insurance company.
