..."By Friendship, Love, and Jewelry." Quiz

Answer: Annie

Annie opens the movie by sharing that she and her three best friends have just graduated from college. That is when we get an idea of each girl's personality. Annie is the agreeable one, who always keeps the peace, even at the expense of her own happiness. Brenda is the funny one, who always keeps the girls on their toes. Elise is the popular one, obsessed with being beautiful and getting attention. Cynthia is the common bond; the glue that holds the girls together.

Answer: Cynthia

Annie mentions that Cynthia is valedictorian, when the girls toast with the champagne that Cynthia's parents gave her to celebrate graduation.

After the funeral, during lunch, when the ladies are getting caught up, age and love are the topics of discussion.
