Pretty good movie about this affair. Think it was called “Scandal”. Starred John Hurt I think.

Yes good movie, also had Bridget Fonda.

“I lusted for the actress who played her.....”

Joanne Whalley was a very pretty actress in her day.

And I learned two new things related to her:

1) Her daughter with Val Kilmer has her eyes: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6087278/?ref_=nmbio_trv_7

2) Joanne Whalley voiced the role of the unnamed narrator in the audiobook of Elizabeth Kostova’s “The Historian”.

That book was one of the few times I enjoyed the fact that the narrator was a woman. She was excellent. Entertaining book too considering it’s got a far fetched plot.
