The author of the original novel appears as the leader of the self-help seminar where Evelyn is told to get a mirror and look at her 'flower'.
The Honey Jar at the End
The fresh jar of honey and the note left on Ruth's grave at the end of the film is the strongest visual clue implying that Ninny is actually Idgie.
