She does not want to talk about this condition, she says, because she does not know how to describe a complex personal relationship in two sentences. Her career is bubbling with offers. De Mornay is fully adult now, a professional actress, possibly the most mature of a promising new bunch. Hand out the diplomas and play the recessional: the class of '86 has graduated...
