A bliss ninny is a person who is unrealistically optimistic, especially someone who attempts to justify difficult situations by seeing the best of a bad situation rather than engaging with the difficulty in a meaningful way.

i do think sometimes that the character played by ninny is like Idgie because Ninny has a picture in her nursing home room of Ruth and Idgie and at the end of the movie someone put honey on Ruth's gravesite and it so happens that Ninny is there when Evelyn comes and tells her(ninny) her house was condemned..it sure does seem that Ninny has a lot of information about the two (ruth and idgie) that how else would only those two people know..
In the movie, it's strongly implied (though never stated outright) that Idgie and Ninny are the same person. The book is completely different. In the book, a detailed account of Ninny's life (both before and after she came to live with the Threadgoodes) make up a large section of the story. A movie which includes all of the plot from the book would have to be several times longer than the movie that was eventually made. Idgie survives in the book, while Ninny dies as Evelyn was told.
