Lori Tate, since the filming ended, has become the town of Natchitoches' official historian and city guide of the film's filming location sights. She appeared in the film as Mrs. Latcherie, Sr. in the wedding scenes. Knowing everybody in town, she was a wonderful source for specialty set props, and for sources in the area. Lori directed the production designer to the baker who made the pink wedding cake and the groom's red velvet Armadillo shaped cake. The lady baker made several test Armadillo cakes for cutting tests, just to make sure the deep red cake batter color, after baking, was red. Lori Tate became the art department's favorite and brightest source in town. When an armadillo had been run down about a mile from the Holiday Inn hotel, Lori added daily flowers to the sign "killed in a role casting stampede for the part of Truvy".
