...experience briefly sobers Lee. He has, but fails to appreciate, an equivalent to Robin's Tony. She's a pretty, sensible book editor (Famke Janssen) who supports his return to fiction. But even with her patient encouragement, he can't stay straight for long. He betrays her for a promising, utterly self-absorbed young actress (Winona Ryder).
