Hutton earned a cum laude degree from Salve Regina College, then taught drama and music. Her motto might have been the Johnny Burke-Jimmy Van Heusen novelty number she sang in the movie...

Her lawyer's letter alludes to this by mentioning that some members have already decided they were lied to by Bush Administration officials, and plan to "use the hearings to promote [their] political party."
