Chloe Sevigny / Mrs Harris

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.
