"It was almost jealousy," says their son Michael, 30, a Dallas stockbroker and the third of the couple's four children. "Everyone admired his success, and she did not even know what was going on." Debra, 35, the oldest child, remembers Pickens as an absentee father: "He worked six, sometimes seven days a week, and I'm sure that when he came home in the evenings, it was difficult for him to say, 'O.K., this is my family, they're not my employees.'

Still, to many people the character was unsympathetic-monstrous or, worse, ridiculous. The cancer-ridden daughter, played by Debra Winger, would get most of the sympathy, and Jack Nicholson's breezy, boozy ex-astronaut would get most of the laughs. Even more perilous for an actress past 40, Aurora had to age, painfully, gracelessly.
