Chloë Sevigny / Television

Inspired by a true story, this HBO Films drama tells the tragic, quirky, unlikely tale of Jean Harris (Annette Bening), who made headlines in the early 1980s after shooting and killing her lover, "diet doctor" Herman Tarnower (Ben Kingsley), at his home in suburban New York. The film portrays different accounts of Tarnower's fatal shooting with flashback scenes introduced by dramatic testimonials from the various players, including Harris, the doctor's sister, several of his ex-lovers, Harris' best friend, and Harris' two sons. Chloë plays Hermans secretary-receptionist, Lynne Tryforos.

Tryforos was the sort of ignorant, common woman a man might enjoy as a sexual "tootsie roll" but unworthy of being escorted to dates and dinner parties by a man as fine and respected as the eminent cardiologist, Dr. Herman Tarnower.

	Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton) pops a lot of Viagra. A lot, as in one every day, which he pulls from a bottle he keeps in his pants pocket. That seems like a heap of thrill pills for a happy, healthy, fortysomething married man. The problem isn't his libido—this isn't a supply problem. It's a demand problem. Bill is a polygamist with three wives: Barbara (Jeanne Tripplehorn), Nicki (Chloë Sevigny) and Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin). They live in adjacent houses with a common backyard, so Bill's on a regular rotation—one night Barb, the next night Nicki, the next Margene. He's like the only batter on a baseball team, and he's expected to hit a home run every night. Official Site / Newsweek Article / Schedule /
