Ninny Threadgoode and Idgie from Fried Green Tomatoes are not directly related by blood. However, they are connected through marriage:
- Ninny married Cleo Threadgoode: This is how Ninny became a Threadgoode. Cleo was Idgie’s older brother.
Therefore, Ninny was Idgie’s sister-in-law. There’s some confusion around their relationship, especially in the movie, but the book makes it clear they are distinct characters.
