...smitten; and his silver-haired uncle George (Kevin Colson), whom Rose marries for love and money. Over the years, all three have flings with Giulietta (Kathleen Rowe McAllen), an Italian sculptor, and Alex and George display more than familial interest in George's daughter Jenny (played by Deanna Du Clos at age 12, and by her sister Danielle at a nubile 14).

Not since the early days of the temperance movement, when Carry Nation took ax in hand and went about hacking up saloons, has the U.S. public seemed so determined to do something about substance abuse.
