Campbell Scott's mother was in this movie!


Colleen Dewhurst; she played the part of Estelle. It was almost her last film appearance; she died of cancer shortly after this movie came out. It was funny when her character mentioned an "idiot child". Not hers but someone else's, but she seemed to be looking at Victor when she said it.

I loved Colleen Dewhurst...whatever she did, she was always amazing and so completely whoever the script dictated. I especially liked her in "Ice Castles" and in "Tribute," which is one of my all time favorites.

And you know that Campbell's father, Colleen's ex-husband (actually they married and divorced twice) was George C. (that's C. as in Campbell) Scott. You look at Campbell and it's his father's eyes he has...those intense, burning eyes...I think Campbell got the best of both parents in the looks department.
